Our Advisory Council is a part of the organization that is separate from the Board that helps with the administration of the ministry. A member of the Advisory Council has agreed to partner with Kevin in the following ways:
- Has direct contact with Kevin via telephone and/or email at least 2-3 times each year, whereby Kevin can ask specific questions and request the member’s counsel and perspective.
- Allows Kevin and Christ Connection to use the member’s name as an endorsement of the ministry.
- Agrees to speak into Kevin whatever message the Lord places on the member’s heart.
