During three days of meetings at the Maritime Conference constituency meetings, May 13 – 15, 2011, Dr. Paul Brantley, NAD vice-president for strategic planning, guided delegates through the concept of excellence and provided a new perspective of what God wants for His church. Sharing his convictions and using outstanding examples of everyday life, he helped the constituency embrace a “BHAG” ‘big, hairy, and audacious goal’ for the future. This is, without a doubt, a first step towards implementing the notion of top-quality actions within our church. We are convinced this is the way for us to shine the light of Jesus-Christ. By the way, when God is acting in us, He is always working perfectly well. Everything inspired from above is excellent. (D.S.)
