Finding Your People Where They Are By David Bourgeois
In the past, I have explored the idea that we are in a “post-website world.” Because of this, we must learn how to get our message in front of our audience where they are. And the data show that they are on social networks. But this sometimes leads ministry leaders to the wrong conclusion, as I…
Getting Out of the Maze by R. Scott Rodin
Find the Way Out Jesus proclaimed that He is ‘the way, the truth, and the life.” If that is right (and it is), why do we sometimes feel like we have lost our way? In our careers in leadership, we will find ourselves from time to time feeling like we are just muddling through rather…
Tired and Want to Quit? By Dan Busby
Ever get tired and want to quit? I certainly have. And, there are certain times in life when we should quit. When we discern what we are doing is not in accordance with God’s plan, we should quit. If we are headed in the wrong direction, we should quit traveling that way. When our “passion…
Top 10 List of New Testament Givers and their Gifts By Dr. Gary G. Hoag
The context for my post today is the Christmas season when our thoughts focus on gift giving. Rather than direct your attention to purchasing a home entertainment system, the latest name brand clothing or the newest toys for girls and boys, I want to shift our gaze from this century to real gifts and the givers who…
Internet Evangelism: The Case for Actually Getting Results By John Edmiston
One of the most frequent objections to Internet evangelism and information technology in missions is that numbers and results are seen as worldly and, therefore, as “unspiritual.” Jesus was transformational. Jesus changed the situation that He was in. The change was visible, measurable, and often astonishing. The changes Jesus wrought were so startling that they…
A New Battle for Hearts, Minds and Global Redemption By Gordon Marcy
With the Internet becoming increasingly important for nearly everybody, I’m amazed that many Christian leaders and ministries are still reluctant to develop full-time online outreach. The Internet is not a fad. Usage continues to soar, and there’s no sign of slowing down. In 2013, over 2.7 billion people were using the Internet, representing 39% of…
Competition and Kingdom Work By Steve Cummings
There’s No Competition in God’s Kingdom Work I love radical ideas and I love living a radical life for Jesus. I live with strong convictions and a passion for seeking after God’s heart. Even as a MGO, I am called to live radically in my kingdom position of raising resources for God’s work. Can I…
How The Internet is Changing Evangelism and Missions By John Edminston
There are currently 2.4 billion active Internet users, and another 3 billion are expected to be online within five years as cell phones increasingly become Internet-enabled smartphones and as cheap digital devices proliferate. The changes are not only quantitative; they are also qualitative. The essential dynamics of Christian ministry are being fundamentally altered. The heart…
3 Reasons to Embrace Technology By Kristen Pope
Humanitarian organizations use text messaging to collect donations after a disaster. Some ministries house all their assets online for advocates to download and share. Churches have given kiosks in the lobby to cater to the new generation of cash and checkless givers. Many ministries and nonprofits successfully embrace technology to market, fundraise, and minister, and…
