Just found this site. There are tons of these online give tools out there. The click and drag feature is pretty cool. Also the “registry feel” where you can give dollar amounts to specific items. This tangibility tends to increase giving.

One down side is the 3.5% + $.25 per transaction, but they have to make a living some how.

All-Access_Web-Banner_633x109_110816It is coming soon! Well it will be next March 27-29th but I’m getting excited. We toured the facility last week and it is amazing. The theme this year is cowboy. We are even going to have a mechanical bull!  Help spread the word. It is going to be amazing.

Yee haw!

Steven Covey and Pastor Chris have both used this example to talk about time management.

You can write it in the comment box if you want or not. All that matters is that you know what the important thing are in you life and make time for them.

Arc staff and Billy Hornsby

Billy dropped in to see us today. I feel so honored to have him in my life.  He always believes in me and speaks words of encouragement.

Here are a few quotes from Billy Hornsby’s visit:

  • Zeal with out wisdom is a disaster.
  • Always give people the benefit of the doubt
  • You don’t have to be perfect just dedicated.

It was great to have him…

Here is the response. this was in less than 24 hours.

Facebook views and comments

I kinda feel like people didn’t understand the heart in which the video was made. Everything we do is to reach the lost. I guess It would have been good to put that in the video.

I’m on a plane coming back from Washington DC where we did our last ARC Church Planters Roundtable.  It has been a great day and a half.  Church planters are so fun at this stage in the game.  It is early and they are dreaming.  There are a lot of unknowns. Will they make it?  I hope so. I hope they are each able to experience success in their ministry.

Here are three quotes I have collected on success. Maybe they will make you think.

  1. “Accuracy doesn’t just happen, you have to make it happen.” -Steve Hornady
  2. “Not Everything that is measurable is meaningful, nor is everything that is meaningful measurable.” -Einstein
  3. “Never be afraid to try something new. Remember that amateurs built the Ark. Professionals built the Titanic.” -Dave Barry

Church Planter, Pastor tattooGotta love ‘em

Failing Church plant

Recently, a friend of mine gave me a book by Frank Viola. It has helped me understand the New Testament by putting everything in context and the order it happened.

While I was reading I had a prayer. “Lord I want to give everything I have to helping church planters. But I will only do it if you will keep them from failure.”

Then I read this verse about Paul and his church planting journey. He had it ruff. Not every church plant made it. Several of them made huge mistakes. I may have to change my prayer. Why is it so hard to give your life for something. Especial when everything you worked so hard for could fall apart.

This week we are at New Life Church in Little Rock, Arkansas for another ARC Basic Training.  Our first night, was spent in Kidslife.  WoW!   There were two  AmAzInG things to point out. The first is how much energy those kids have.   I don’t remember having that much energy when I was a kid.  Second, kids ministry really doesn’t have to be expensive.  This guy in the sun glasses had them entertain by running around with a stick horse.  They played some fun games too.
