Don Piper has a great story!

Last friday night, I went and hear an author of the book called "90 minutes in heaven." He has a great story. I have to be honest when I wanted to hear a little more about heaven but he talked about what we need to do here on earth. He talked about the gates of heaven and the people that were there and basically people that have made an impact in his life. It made me think what I am I doing to help people, serve them and impact there life.
Who's gates will you be at? What kind of impact have you made on the people around you? I think that it something to think about.

I have never read the book but I am sure that its good

A new book!!!

I just picked up this book and i can't put it down. This book basically
talk about the new microtrends. Using some of the best data available,
the author identifies more than 70 microtrends in family life, work, race,
the list goes on.
I personally think that if we look closer at this book it
could change the way that we do ministry. The subtitle says
the small forces behind tomorrow's big changes.

Recap!!

We just finished week 3 of SexRated and we have one more week to go. This week we did it a little different, we had Q&A time but in small groups the whole time. We have one more week left for this series and we will put it all together with "purity"

Attendance was average!
Volunteers was awesome(high above average)!
Fun Factor was below average!
Message was in small groups!

Overall, we had a great weekend. We only have one more week left of this series and the we will move on to a series called POSER.

Random movie!!!

I am sometimes bored at night time so I signed up for netflix. Last night, I watched a movie called The bridge
This movie was very interesting documentary about The Golden Gate Bridge. Interviews with family, friends and eyewitnesses, the film reveals a common thread of depression, despair and chronic mental illness. This documentary further reinforces the landmark's iconic legacy as the world's most popular suicide destination.
I think that reason that it was so interesting to me is because I speaking to a group of college students in Oklahoma at the end of month about " Never Quitting" Looking at the ages of alot of the people were 18-24
I often wonder what if someone would have shared that God has a plan for there life and God love for them.
Check the film!!

Making vision stick!!(Part 2)

I think that casting vision is important for students, volunteers, and parents in my case. I think the making vision stick is the hard part. In this book, Andy talks about 5 things that you can do to increase the adhesiveness of your vision:

1. State the vision simply- basically it needs to be memorable
2. Cast the vision convincingly
3. Repeat the vision- share your vision 3-4 times a year
4. celebrate the vision systematically
5. Embrace the vision

Making vision stick is important. Build it and people will come!
