Scaling Stewardship in Colorado, Conclusion
A final word from Duane.
Never Go It Alone! Hiking up a fourteener, like Long’s Peak, requires you to start out early, perhaps one or two o’clock in the morning. The goal is to make it to the top by noon, so that you can begin your descent soon there after, before the storms and deadly lighting roll in.
One bit of advice, never try to hike or climb a fourteener on your own! There is safety, encouragement, mutual help, and wisdom in a group.
The Stewardship Development Association is such a group for me. I’ve found this group to be responsive to my every question and ready to assist! For a “newbie,” having the availability of insight from men who have engaged stewardship development for decades is invaluable. Help has come from men such as Randy Thompson, David Waganer, Eddie Oliver, and Clarence Hackett just to name a few. Sample materials shared by fellow SDA members at SDA meetings and at the annual CP meeting in Nashville has been helpful. Spencer Hutson, Missouri Baptist Convention, sent several thousand leaflets which were being phased out yet still fresh and new for Colorado.
Thus, while the challenge is real, it is definitely doable, especially as we journey together!

Thanks for sharing your world with us this week. On behalf of all Southern Baptists, keep up the great work, Duane! And thanks for your courage to face the "fourteeners" of stewardship in Colorado. God's blessings on your family and ministry. And we'll be praying for you!
