#Homeschooling Using the iPad2

by: Brent LacyPosted on: April 25, 2012February 20, 2013

The Barn is on Fire…. The picture you see above is one that I took in September of 2010. I was visiting my mom and step-dad at the farmhouse  where I grew up in Illinois. We looked out across the field and saw a little smoke, not an uncommon sight, […]

Rural Ministry: Know the Subcultures

by: Brent LacyPosted on: April 23, 2012April 22, 2012

Rural Ministry: Know your context.

by: Brent LacyPosted on: April 22, 2012April 23, 2012

One of the most important lessons to learn early in youth ministry is to understand your context. Is your church rural, small, large, multi-ethnic, urban? That is important to answer. You do not approach a rural church with an urban mindset. It is not going to work well. The opposite […]

Redneck Tech: The Makeshift Belt/Spindle Sander…

by: Brent LacyPosted on: March 10, 2012

One of the things you learn in Rural Ministry is to improvise in order to make what you have do what you need it to do. I needed to sand some small pieces for a VBS craft, so this is how I made it work. It did the job very well. More […]

Rural Ministry Idea: A New Favorite Drink…

by: Brent LacyPosted on: March 9, 2012March 9, 2012

      Here is a relationship building idea that has worked well for me in a Rural Church context. Don’t take for granted that many of your students have limited exposure to other areas of the country. Some may not have much exposure to culture outside your COUNTY. This […]
