We are very excited to announce the release of the April 2016 edition of Encourage magazine. Its purpose is to encourage all ministers and lay leaders whether in local congregations or other expressions of denominational leadership. In this issue of Encourage you will find articles by several well-known speakers and authors including Presiding Bishop Doug Beacham, Lee Grady, Dreama Bryant, Kevin Sneed, and Jonathan Shirey. We pray that this edition of Encourage will be a support to you as a leader.
