January can feel like a weird limbo—Australia practically shuts down, and people are in and out all month. Bur don’t just coast; use this time wisely:

1. 
   
2. Capitalising on the post-Christmas momentum
   
3. Welcoming new faces
   
4. Preaching with purpose
   
5. Using the downtime strategically
   
6. Supporting the lonely
   
7. Developing long-term plans
   
8. Investing in leaders
   
9. Reseting ministry teams
   
10. Reading and reflecting
    

January’s not a throwaway month—it’s a launchpad. Make it count.
