Perspective check, 1…2…3?

May 20, 2010

I got three emails yesterday. 2 of them were people letting us know they are no longer able to partner with us financially–to the tune of -$125 per month. The other was from Piter. I was too busy wallowing in poor-me-land (or more accurately, trying to evaluate the situation to help to avoid wallowing there, [...]

Ministry Partner Development.

April 20, 2010

We don’t like to call it fund raising. Not because we want to trick people or call it something that fools people out of their money, but because at the most foundational level, it’s not fund raising (though funds are a great byproduct). At the most foundational level, when I call someone to set up [...]

Tips for Online Ministry.

March 18, 2010

One of the reasons I am joining Campus Crusade’s regional team is to help staff and students in our region who have a felt need to be effective in online ministry, but lack the tools to do so. I’m by no means an expert, but one of my goals is to become just that over [...]

Building the Kindgom Using the Devil’s Tools?

March 13, 2010

Derek Webb’s album Ringing Bell has been ringing in my ears today. I got an email through our ministry locator from a minister promoting an upcoming event. It’s not a Campus Crusade affiliated event, as evidenced by the fact that I got alerted about it via our ministry locator. The locator is a tool specifically [...]

Sending Students Around the World, and Around the Block.

March 9, 2010

This past weekend, I got to spend some time at the annual missions conference at my old church in Murfreesboro, TN. Nothing motivates me more to get to our assignment at the regional office than telling others about what God is doing. Most of the time I just tell them with words, a few pictures, [...]

It took me a while to see myself as a rebel. (Jacqueline’s Story)

February 11, 2010

(in addition to being the latest in new posts that are being brought from the old website, this is Jacqueline’s first post on the new blog. Let’s hear it in the comments!) I was playing softball with my three older siblings in the front yard. It was a sunny day, and I rounded second, willing [...]

We all have things we regret about life. I regret being the good kid.

February 10, 2010

(this is part of a series of stories being ported over from the old website. Here’s my story) That’s not to say I wish I had been a bad kid. I just wish I had been more aware of my heart’s true condition. I was the youth group poster-child. If there was a committee in [...]

The Most Significant Thing.

February 1, 2010

After a great weekend leading the music at a conference in Atlanta (and thereby missing the second big snowstorm of the season in Asheville), I am overwhelmed again that God has called us to be on staff with Campus Crusade for Christ. The conference this time around was “Preview”–so named because we use it as [...]

A few more Questions about the Move!

January 28, 2010

Here’s a few more questions we’ve been getting about the move: Are you buying or renting? We’re renting. In fact, we already know where! We’ll be in Holly Springs, for those who know the area. We’re excited about the house. Come see us once we move! How many folks work in the regional office? Speaking [...]
