In the world of outreach there are many approaches to connecting with people that work well. Christy Wimber is the pastor of the Vineyard Church of Yorba Linda (California). In the four-year history of this church lots of common, everyday people have been experimenting with the use of God’s touch in people’s lives to see a profound difference made. As the people of this congregation step out to pray for others they see some interesting, drawing things take place. They are consistently seeing people come into relationship with Christ as a result of serving and praying their way into other’s lives. Christy will be sharing stories about her people who have been experimenting with power evangelism as well as servant evangelism. In both cases the person doing the sharing is in need of the presence of God before a difference can be made with not-yet believers.

Listen in on this practical and encouraging discussion between myself and Christy Wimber. You will pick up on nuggets of encouragement that will be easily transferred to your people. This is doable. This is also dynamic. Your people can do this stuff – with gusto!

This is one of the most moving expert interviews to date. Pastor Ike Reighard shares with us how his trek has taken him from large churches he has started all the way to smaller works that have been renewed. This is the story of renewal.

How many times have you seen churches that have lost the steam that was once behind their backs? To lose momentum is not the end of the world for any of us. It is however a significant factor to mix in with what we are facing. God is up to the notion of renewing congregations. We need to have a hopeful approach to things. We are hopefully going to find the way forward in all that is going on.

There are multitudes of churches in America today that have great facilities but lack the essential leadership that is needed to put those facilities to the proper use. Ike  believes we are standing on the edge of some great changes in the American church scene. We need to open our hearts to doing things a little differently however. We are the ones who are able to rearrange the details of the local church such that the old can work with the new. With the interworking of the old with the new we can build churches that are going to be established in full on strength.

For some ministry encouragement that is so strong it is almost tangible, listen in on this highly practical interview.

We will be talking about Prophetic Evangelism as Doug says, two words that are usually discouraging and misleading to most Christians. But don’t get the wrong idea here – this topic is not for the overly spiritual. Prophetic evangelism is something that almost anyone in the Church can relate to and practice in a powerful way.

Doug shares in engaging ways (make that hilarious) how just about any of us can connect with the community in profound and encouraging ways. If you or your people lack courage in connecting with the community, this interview is for you.
