Turbulent Times Ready or Not: Send for PDF manual today




By Tom Sine

Friends,

We have found a number of churches that do give a damn about those that have lost jobs, homes and resources and we want to send you a sampling of the best practices we have found. In fact, we have just finished a manual to help churches prepare not help their neighbors that are still being hammered by the ongoing recession but we have also suggested some ways to help people in your church prepare for the next waves of change as the economy continues to convulse and as we approach a peak oil crisis 2010 to 2020. Let us know if you would like to receive a copy of the PDF of this manual for possible use in your church and we will send you a copy in the next couple of weeks. There will be a modest charge to cover the costs of the research and editing. Please send us an email right away if you would like to receive the PDF manual Turbulent Times Ready or Not! A Creative Response Manual for Missional Congregations 2010 to 2020. We are still looking for a few more stories of best practices if your church has found a way to be God’s compassion to help people help themselves.

Essentially, in this blog we are encouraging established churches to join the new conspirators…young risk takers who are creating new more missional churches that are focused outwardly is serving those outside the church. As we race into a an increasingly uncertain future where many more or our neighbors are likely to suffer we will all need to discover how God can more fully use our mustard seeds to make a difference in the lives of others. Here is a link to an interview that I did for an online magazine called Wrecked for Ordinary Life. I would welcome you feedback and I will respond in this blog to any comments or questions you send our way.

This link will direct you to a recent interview with Wrecked for the Ordinary.

Preparing to serve God in uncertain times,
Tom Sine
