Individuals and entities face the impact and implications associated with lifecycle realities. Physical life and organizational life have a beginning, but each, in turn, also encounters the fact that life yields transitions, maturity, and ultimately includes death. Intervention to the lifecycle may afford extended time, but inevitably the end will come.

520 $a Individuals and entities face the impact and implications associated with lifecycle realities. Physical life and organizational life have a beginning, but each, in turn, also encounters the fact that life yields transitions, maturity, and ultimately includes death. Intervention to the lifecycle may afford extended time, but inevitably the end will come.
520 $a In order to establish a foundation for this project, biblical-theological and contemporary literature reviews explored, identified, and articulated a basic understanding of the lifecycle issues. Narratives and stories connected to real life experiences shared by pastors, educators, district officials, and Christian leaders cast fresh light on the often-ignored realities impacting ministries. Twenty-two personal interviews, collected over a six-week period, became the source of personal narratives. This critical resource to the project added vitality and vibrancy to the discovery process and provided clear indication of the factors affecting the decisions leaders faced at the final stage of an entity's lifecycle. To help facilitate a dignified and honorable closure to a ministry, the proposed action steps will serve as a welcomed resource for individuals assigned the ominous task. At the same time, a more robust understanding of God's grand scheme and how each life, as an individual or entity, fits into that plan, begs for recognition and acceptance.
520 $a The project lends perspective and grants permission for a new conversation within the Assemblies of God by challenging theological assumptions, foregone conclusions, and inappropriate practices. This new perspective may grant new life out of the reality of death.
