Too many churches get caught up in numbers. How many conversions, attendance, or dollars in the offering plate are often at the top of the list. Although I see no problem in tracking this information, it's not what I want to focus on. Numbers have no heart, no personality, no depth.
I want to focus on Names. Names of people who are being transformed by the good news. Names of those who are learning to trust Christ in what area of life they find themselves. Names of those who have joined the mission of Jesus to lay down their life for others so that they may truly live.
It's about names. Not Numbers.
