\\nMany pastors are leading churches that need revitalization. But a number of those leaders are discouraged that the process is not working or that it\'s working minimally. Sam and Thom discuss some reasons why revitalization may not be working in your church and what you can do to change it.
\\n
\\n \\tThe outlook is short-term.
\\n
\\n
\\n \\tThe leader makes too many comparisons.
\\n
\\n
\\n \\tEvangelism is not in the revitalization plans
\\n
\\n
\\n \\tPrayer is not in the revitalization plans.
\\n
\\n
\\n \\tThe leader becomes discouraged with membership losses.
