Get Your Strategy On
The question is this: How do you convince over 250 church leaders to come to Granger, Indiana for one day in November to learn about how they can reach more people for Jesus in their communities? I know. It’s crazy. It shouldn’t be possible. But, that’s what we have happening this Friday.
WiredChurches.com is offering four–count ‘em–four separate one-day workshops this week, and we’re expecting folks that have registered from throughout the country. They’re coming to hear Mark Waltz talk about "First Impressions." They’re coming to learn from Butch Whitmire and our arts teams. They’re going to experience a day immersed in our children’s ministry. Or, they’re going to hang out with Judy and Corey and figure out what it takes to help students take their next steps toward Christ. Good stuff.
And, in case you’re not able to make the trek to Indiana this Friday, we’re doing it all again next year. Hope you can join us.

Bob, Friday’s forecast is looking good for you then. We have a chance of snow showers and a high in the 30s. Now you’re going to find out why real men do ministry in Northern Indiana. The weather forecast in Dallas, where you sissies…I mean ministry leaders live, will be sunny and 70. I hardly consider that “ministry.” That’s what we Hoosiers call a vacation. See you on Friday!

Tony-you might be suprised by the heartiness we Texans exhibit…don’t count us out in weather extremes….in the summer we battle 120 degree heat, tempatures at which pavement melts…seat belts become branding irons and men women and small children (who are not from TX)despair and faint…in addtion to battling the rattle snakes,ferocious bulls and occasional gun toting bandits we proclaim the gospel while wearing big hats and boots….we won’t be wearing them to Granger, we are Hoosier sensitive. bb
