协同作用
In 2019, 4,500 Protestant churches in North America closed their doors for good, 而只有3个,新建了1000座新教教堂. Then the COVID-19 pandemic hit, making an already-concerning situation worse. 协同行动计划旨在帮助扭转这一令人担忧的趋势.
协同作用 is the combined power of a group 工作ing together that is greater than the power of individuals 工作ing separately. This initiative aims to help students plan strategically to graduate from Cedarville, 和其他人一起离开这里, 投入他们的精力, 人才, 在种植方面的努力, 振兴, 教会人数增多. As Cedarville graduates join up with other church members who are equipped to do the 工作 of ministry, 他们的共同努力将取得成功, 蒙神的恩典, abundantly more than only a couple of 牧师 in a church doing all of the 工作 on their own. 因此, the goal is to equip students to leave Cedarville University ready to help establish and strengthen local churches throughout the nation and around the world.
