[Proverbs
16:1
(MSG)]
In
light of Solomon’s
wisdom quoted above, I proceed - with a little trepidation - to set goals for
2018. Psychologists argue the merits of sharing your goals. There is a theory
that the mere act of sharing removes the incentive to achieve. It is enough to
merely speak it out. Nevertheless, I want to share the vision God has given us
for Aslan Ministries, Inc. for the coming year and let you know where we are
today.
For the last two years our goals have been modest. Serious
health issues and our move to Oklahoma got in the way of accomplishing all that
we desired. In December of this year, we completed treatment for the Staph
infection which resulted in discitis and osteomyelitus. Getting off the
antibiotics - I continue to get stronger, but the back remains
weak.
We did publish our
latest book, “Pray
Like Jesus,” which has received excellent reviews and was in Amazon’s top 10 in
its niche, and have improved our website, adding some audio messages and
offering free books.
2018, holds some exciting opportunities. We anticipate it
being a year that will bear much fruit. In keeping with that positive attitude
and improved health, we have set forth an extremely aggressive set of goals.
While this may seem ambitious, it is keeping with the scripture the Lord gave
me;
Psalm
71:17-18 (NKJV) O God, You have taught me from my youth; And to this day I
declare Your wondrous works. 18
Now also when I am
old and gray-headed, O God, do not forsake me, Until I declare Your strength to
this generation, Your power to everyone who is to come.
Our
purpose for founding Aslan Ministries was and still is to “Encourage and equip
churches and their leaders to fulfill their God-Given Purpose.
It began
with conducting “in-person,”
classes with us and members of our board leading. We will continue to offer this
as it is important to personally be in contact with churches and their
leadership to best aid them. But we then limit our impact based upon our size
and schedules. We can service a wider audience and have a bigger impact on
leaders, ministries and churches by resourcing the church. Few leaders have the
time or patience to sit through a three to five day workshop, but they will read
a book, watch a video, listen to an MP3, or take a course on line where they can
proceed at their own speed.
This is the direction we are heading; to
provide resources; books, video, audios, and on-line courses to declare Your strength to this generation,
Your power to everyone who is to come.
The following items are our goals for
2018.
Books:
Our next book which will be out in April will be the
second in the series of the ministry of Jesus - it will be on healing. A third
book in that series will be out in August, and the fourth will be out in time
for Christmas.
All seven of our books are now available on Amazon and
Barnes & Noble. We are currently considering making all of them available
for I-Pad, I-Phone, Nook, E-Book as well as Kindle, but
On-Line Courses:
The major advance we will be making this year is to
provide on-line courses. The first course - which is the one we hope to get all
of the kinks out - will be on spiritual gifts and should be available on line in
March. This will be followed by on-line versions of existing classes on
Realizing Your God-given Purpose, Developing an Ear for God, Healing, and church
renewal.
Videos:
We are in the process of developing video which will
be on our website and our YouTube channel: Aslan Ministries on YouTube
