HOW CAN I GET INVOLVED? PRAY for pastors as they faithfully prepare a weekly sermon. JOIN a pastor peer group and invite others to come with you. PURCHASE an audio-visual resource available through Seedbed.com.
“…When I came to you, I did not come with eloquence or human wisdom as I proclaimed to you the testimony about God. For I resolved to know nothing while I was with you except Jesus Christ and him crucified. I came to you in weakness with great fear and trembling. My message and my preaching were not with wise and persuasive words, but with a demonstration of the Spirit’s power, so that your faith might not rest on human wisdom, but on God’s power.” 1 Corinthians 2:1-5
SUPPORT the initiative financially, either individually or as a congregation.

Excellence in Preaching Initiative
Our Strategy
Multiple priorities compete with necessary sermon preparation and practice time. The Excellence in Preaching Initiative offers these resources to support pastors in effective preaching:
What is the Excellence in Preaching Initiative?
Why Preaching?
Asbury Seminary’s Florida Dunnam Campus has partnered with the Lily Foundation to launch the Excellence in Preaching Initiative. This initiative will:
We believe preaching is central to the life and mission of the Church because:
• Peer-groups that develop preaching skills through discussion, prayer and practice.
• The Bible charges pastors to zealously preach the Gospel.
• Bi-lingual educational resources.
• Support local pastors in Hispanic/Latino(a) and African-American churches.
• The Holy Spirit uses pastors to declare God’s word to His people.
• Preaching Planning Retreats.
• Provide resources to create more effective ministry leaders.
•
• Impact the quality of preaching in ethnic churches.
Preaching equips, challenges, nurtures and empowers individuals to obey God’s will and carry out the mission of the Church in the world.
• Coaching sessions. • Concierto de Predicacion, a preaching conference for the Hispanic/Latino community.
