 LORD'S 



Consider these challenges* 



Growth is a call to leadership and a test of your 

 faith in God. 



It demands your involvement, for true growth is 

 rooted in people. 



It exalts freedom, undermines fear, and generates 

 hope. 



Growth is the evidence of change, which is 

 inevitable. 



It compels planning and orderly development, to 

 avoid waste. 



It enlists knowledge, to accommodate rising 

 pressures on the land. 



Growth is the drive to justice, powered by reason 

 and tolerance. 



It opposes the persistence of poverty, which 

 denies dignity. 



It requires understanding, to extend the truth. 



Growth is the reward of aspiration and effort, 

 fortified by courage. 



It imposes discipline and asserts tlie need for 

 balanced progress. 



It enlarges responsibility, invites cooperation, and 

 reveals opportunity. 



It can be, if you will it, the avenue to an ever- 

 expanding future. 



Consider these thallenges. Consider them well.
