#RuralMinistry and More.
An App…That helps you share the Gospel! What an idea. I know that there are several out there already. But what sets this app apart is that it is tied in with what children, teens, and adults all over the world are teaching and learning every week. That is cool. […]
Dare2Share showed this video on the Un.Tour this year. I loved it. I am absolutely behind the idea of sharing the Gospel as a story. This video shares the story of the Gospel as 6 words, in 5 minutes. If you want to use the video, please buy it at […]
Socialnomics is a site that Marketing Geeks like me can relate to. They look at marketing and the new global/social network-driven economy.Sometimes our western ideas don’t really translate that well In the ministry context, I notice that our churches, we have the same thing happen. We throw out all these […]
Easter is this weekend. I know you already knew that and that Easter is one of the two most likely weekends of the year for the “unchurched” to show up. I want to preface my Easter weekend challenge with a story that happened last weekend… Oops on Craigslist I buy, […]

If you wonder about our teens, consider 6500+ youth praising God at Dare2Share in St. Louis this weekend. They have been mobilized for THE Cause of making disciples who make disciples. Stand with them. Don’t get in their way, don’t stand behind and watch, but stand beside them and get […]
One of my issues with ” modern mainstream” churches is that they act defeated, or like they are in danger of being defeated. Read the book of Revelations. We win because Christ has already won for us!!! I sometimes fall into that same line of thinking after a tough church […]
Around Christmas, I had posted some opportunities to get stuff for free (still working on the iPad). I have had several people respond “get back with me when you have proof it works”. I now have proof. I also was working on an iPod touch 32gb as a giveaway within […]
