One of the great difficulties of church revitalization is the fact that sometimes churches are not ready.  Either they have not come to the realization that revitalization is needed or they are not willing to pay the price to revitalize.  At that point, the revitalization pastor has two choices: leave or persevere.  It may be that we give up too quickly on churches that struggle with revitalization and especially with those that struggle with change.  We all resist change, and we all struggle with the admission that we need revival and revitalization – even in our own personal lives, much less the church.  So what can the pastor do as he patiently waits for God to move?  Let me suggest 4 things that every revitalization pastor needs to do, regardless of what stage the church finds itself in the revitalization process.
