“Where there is no vision, the people perish.” (Proverbs 29:18) This is an oft-quoted Bible verse that describes the importance of having a clear vision. When people can’t see where God is calling them, they stumble and fall. The American Anglican Council (AAC) knows the importance of vision in leadership. As we transition through Bishop Phil Ashey’s move to the Diocese of Western Anglicans, we have clarity of vision for the next season of ministry. The leadership of the AAC spent the last year in prayer, discernment, and strategic planning to be prepared for this new season – ready to build up and defend the Anglican Church both at home and abroad. Your partnership with us will be crucial moving forward! Although Bishop Phil will continue serving as the AAC’s President, his transition to becoming a diocesan bishop is an ending of sorts. It’s a loss because of the faithful presence he has been to the AAC and the ways he served the Anglican Church for the last 15 years. But as Christians, we know that with any change, any season’s end, there is also hope with Christ on his throne. We have moved together through Holy Week, Good Friday, and Easter this past weekend, where we saw what seemed like an end turn into the greatest victory ever. We are excited to give ourselves fully to the work the Lord has given us in our renewed vision! We ask you to join us in praying for the AAC as we follow the call to serve the needs of the Anglican Church in three crucial areas: Healthy Leaders, Healthy Churches, & Healthy Governance. The ACNA’s Archbishop Emeritus, the Most Rev. Robert Duncan, once said, “If you want to really resource the Anglican Communion, the American Anglican Council is the way to do it.” Our current archbishop, the Most Rev. Steve Wood, wrote in a recent letter that, “central to our common life across the Anglican Church in North America these next several years is my desire to equip every congregation for mission and ministry.” Resourcing and equipping have always been our call, and we will continue to pursue that call through these three anchors of our ministry in this next season. Your continued financial support will secure those anchors for Anglican pastors and churches, not only in our province and Communion but in every future generation of leaders committed to bringing the transforming love of Jesus Christ to North America and beyond! If you have not yet given towards these ministries, would you become a financial partner with us and help strengthen Anglicanism in this next season? If you have given, we appreciate your past support! Would you continue giving this year towards implementing this vision of Gospel ministry and growth? You can give by visiting www.americananglican.org/donate-today. Thank you again for your prayers and support. The American Anglican Council has been able to come alongside provincial and global leaders to enact this vision of healthy leaders, healthy churches, and healthy governance through the faithful support of people like you. May the Lord bless you this coming Easter season and beyond! In Christ’s Service, |
