The Garmans Have Arrived

For those of you who follow the Iceland Project happenings… I got a call from Colby on Saturday about 3:45pm. They have arrived safely and are in the apartment. All is well. The travel was mostly smooth and they are settling in. Colby said that they would not have Internet for a few more days so updates may not be frequent during the first week. Colby said they could see Hallgrímskirkja out of the window and it was a beautiful sight.

The Law of Seven Touches

So I’m reading a book for school that taught about the Law of Seven Touches.. The book states, “the church that contacts the most people, the most times will have the most growth”… This sounds like marketing 101 to me and makes me want to run for the hills… However, we are having the “back door” problem I mentioned a few posts ago. So, I have decided to take the advice of my evangelism professor and implement the Law of seven touches and see how it goes.

Pillar Summer Movie Series

clintclifton — Fri, 02 May 2008 04:35:53 +0000

Planting a church in NOVA is hard. Where I grew up you could open a church and a certain number of curious people came to the church. This is not true in NOVA. For three years we have prayed and worked and worked and prayed to see people come to our church plant with the belief that God would allow us to introduce some of them to Jesus. Last year we tried a few nutty projects to meet folks in our community… we rented a kiosk at Potomac Mills, and we showed a Disney film on a BIG screen outside under the stars. We were amazed that nearly 300 people showed up to the movie and a handful of them visited the church. This year we are stepping the movie idea up a bit and offering a series of Disney films. Check out our promo cards!

Lakeridge Conference

clintclifton — Sun, 06 Apr 2008 04:49:47 +0000

Naethan Hendrix and I spoke at a Missions Conference today in Lake Ridge. The conference was put on by Ruth Anderson and Lake Ridge BC. This church is a great story of the difference that one person can make when their heart is ablaze for the spreading of the gospel and the glory of Jesus. Ruth has as a layperson is this church has prayed and promoted missional thinking, organized dozens of international trips, lead prayer walks, distributed literature and pushed the limits of what could ever be expected of a lay person. This is a shot of Naethan Hendrix and Chris Childers who were with me for the day. The best news of the day is that this mostly barren church has decided to both adopt a UPG from Indonesia and plant a local church in the near future. Pretty Sweet
