The President’s Corner
February 2012
Dear Fellow Investors and Friends:
Recently, I participated in a gathering of local not-for-profit CEOs and Board members. It is very encouraging to see the diverse and effective ministry aspects of so many organizations that are “secular” but appear to be ministering as Jesus would, whether they know it or not! There are some very high-quality people and organizations serving our communities from the heart.
At one point in the session, we were asked to score our organizations on several areas including Board functions, executive functions, and organizational issues, such as clarity of mission and planning. We then compared scores among the group. This was an informal gathering and there was no prize involved and no pressure to “pad” scores. Each participant just gave an honest assessment.
I wanted to share with you that ADF scored very high in both absolute terms and relation to others. I tell you this because it once again illustrated to me that God has been very good in providing a Board and team members that bring excellent skills, passion, and godliness to the ministry of ADF. All the glory is His.
I can never say thank you enough to each of you who invest in C&MA churches through ADF. We are trusting God to help us make the most of and protect the resources you and He have entrusted to us.
Please let me know if you have questions, comments, or prayer requests. They are always most welcome.
Sincerely,
Lawrence L. McCooey, CPA, PFS
President
