Here is
just a portion of the many thankful words we receive for our services:
"Our attendance is going back up and our finances are the best they have ever been. We have been slowly presenting our Mission, Core Values, and Vision to the people. Their response has been great thus far. We are working on a new church logo and new publications to communicate our mission and vision. Things are exciting."
– Russell Johnson, Senior Pastor
"Join with us in praise… Sunday sanctuary worship attendance is up an average of over 100 poeple (approx 15%) in the last 10 weeks versus the same weeks last year!
– Rick Frazier, Boston, MA
"We’re encouraged with what we see God doing in our midst. We finished 2007 with Sunday morning worship attendance up 9.4%… Thanks again for the training last winter/spring there in Dallas."
– Michael Osladil, Hanover, PA
"There have been many significant changes in our lives here in Delaware… I am happy to let you know that the work you did among us so many years ago is still bearing fruit. Your works (writings) were integral in the development of the core values, mission, and vision for our new church… Please know that I continue to sing the praises of the work you did with us previously, and recommend your books to many."
– Meredith Griffin, Wilmington, DE
"People have been joining every week. We have been having a list of new visitors each week. New ministries and outreach methods have begun. All in all, the church is moving forward…"
– David Becker, Granbury, TX
"I wanted to say thank you for your insights and teaching. They have proved extremely helpful in propelling me into the future. Over the past 7 months I have started a Navigation Team, met monthly, and took them through much of the consulting information that you covered. What a blessing! Thank you! Thank You! Thank You! Thank you for impacting my life and work for the Lord."
– Heath Marion, Decatur, TX
"The process was very comprehensive and thorough and covered all of the areas necessary and appropriate… We were greatly impressed and blessed by the responsiveness and desire to understand how to best lead us in this process.
"It was wonderful to be able to visit with Dr. Malphurs between the weekend sessions and consider tailoring the sessions specifically for our situation as well as understanding how best to prepare and so obtain the maximum results from the time spent. His demonstration of interest in our particular needs and circumstances and flexibility in responding uniquely to our needs was most valuable
"The process was very challenging, but incredibly rewarding for our church. We are greatly excited about how God can lead us into greater ways of fulfilling His mission for us and dedicated to doing what we need to accomplish that.
– Keith Maloney, Greenville Oaks
"We
wish to express our sincere appreciation to The Malphurs Group
and thank you for your faithfulness to God and His people."
– Lawrence
R. Moretz, Lt. Colonel, The Salvation Army
"The Malphurs Group is uniquely
gifted in being able to combine the theological, philosophical,
theoretical, and practical elements of ministry. They are cutting-edge
thinkers who are constantly assessing the effectiveness of current
models. They are one of the best trainers and consultants for
Christian leaders today!"
– Glenn Smith, Executive Director, New

many valuable insights that I need to implement.”

loaded with detailed help for an area many of us fear or ignore.
I give Malphurs… two
thumbs up!"

"The class on strategic planning received
top ratings from the leaders here. They had their horizons expanded,
questions answered, and especially appreciated the personal coaching
from a highly qualified mentor."
– Dr. Steve Hobson, Leadership Dept.,

"Aubrey Malphurs delivers to the local
church perhaps one of the best models for implementing strategic
planning that I have seen. His heart for developing leadership
skills in the lives of our church leaders is evident."
– Mark Peterkins, Director, Ottawa Christian
Leadership Centre
"… (The Malphurs Group) takes mission,
vision, and values of various organizations and shows how they
are of immense importance for preventing conflict and setting goals.
They take advantage of the information in both business and religion
to help leaders think about their goals and then follow through
on them."
– Church Based Training International
"When I need someone to cut through the
confusion and complexity of ministry in the 21st century I turn
to Aubrey Malphurs."
– Stephen Pate, Church Consultant, Denton
Baptist Association
"No other book (Developing
a Vision for Ministry in the 21st Century) has motivated me to plan ahead
and strategize more than this one. Both in personal life and
in my ministry, this book points me to accomplishing what needs
to be done. This book is invaluable and is worth ten times the
money."
– Clint Hale, Lytle, TX
"Malphurs' book, Maximizing
Your Effectiveness, has been one of the greatest books I've read as
a seminary student thus far. A must read for those beginning
in ministry or those who have been struggling with finding your
proper place in ministry!"
– Dan
Doty, Springfield, MO
"Malphurs is the best writer of practical planning and the
development of a church's strategy that I have seen to date. I
use this book (Ministry Nuts & Bolts) when I consult with pastors
and elders around the world."
– Gary R. Sweeten, Cincinnati, Ohio
"Values-Driven Ministry does an excellent job of taking the
reader back to see what drives a God-given vision – it is
our biblically based values. This book has been an oasis for this
thirsty pastor! I would have liked to have been able to study it
in a seminary leadership class."
– L.B. Barber, Brunswick, GA
