[Only $25 A Month To Impact Someone's Eternity]
There are those of us who are asking the question with insistence as to if we (the church) have let go of our moorings and are drifting in uncharted seas. We must provide some over-all logic, some strong, not easily broken frame within which we can purposefully equip our people to become the priesthood of the believer as they were at the start of the Gentile church. This strategy must be diverse, while being one of unity. The body of Christ is made up of Jew and Gentile of many colors, shapes, backgrounds, life-experiences and culture.
My life, specifically since 1979 to the present, has prepared me for such a time as this. I have often, during the course of my spiritual journey, wondered why God chose to lead me down the path I have experienced. The last thirteen years (as of 2009) has made that purpose quite clear.
God has blessed me with a burden to (1) encourage the church by equipping the believer for the work of the ministry (Eph. 4), and (2) to provide specifically tangible tools whereby seeking individuals can impact their worlds with the truth of God’s word. Those “Get Real!” Ministry Tools are given in this website in a section on my webpage called: “Get Real!” Tools.
I am offering my new book, Get Real! RU Relevant, to church leaders, and everyone who signs a JFF commitment card in our Initial Presentation, free of charge in PDF. In approximately 150ish pages, I answer three important questions to which every person struggles:
1. Who Am I?
2. What Is My Purpose?
3. What Happens When I Die?
I know that there have been many books recently written on purpose, but… I have been disappointed with a large majority of those books. They tend to be very shallow, and only cover what we should already know to be true. I don’t want to give you “regurgitated Christianity;” on the contrary, I am passionate about exposing believers, and unbelievers alike, to truths that have been hidden in God’s Word. By hidden I mean that we have been entrapped by traditionalism to the point we have lost our (purpose) moorings along the way.
Each chapter of Get Real! RU Relevant will provide a mooring on which you can establish a basis for purpose. I believe the Holy Spirit, Word of God, local church and individual believers (as part of the local church, in whatever form/structure it may take) must work in harmony if we are to impact our worlds in a relevant fashion.
The book, Get Real! RU Relevant, and the ministry of V2T (Vision 20 Twenty) are concerned with winning people to Christ and equipping the believer for relevant ministry OUTSIDE the four walls of the church building. The Bible tells us, no it commands us, to go into the highways and hedges and compel them to come in, and to reconcile the Word of God to the world.
According to Barna.org, in 2009, only 2% of Christians led, at least, one person to Christ the previous year. Even more disturbing, only 8% of Pastors led, at least, one person to Christ. Also, not a single county in the USA reported growth due to salvations. If there was growth, it was due to church transfer (lateral growth); only 10% (and this is generous) of church growth in America is a result of fulfilling our mission… seeking and saving that which is lost, and discipling them to join us in the purpose of our existence on this earth.
We must reverse that trend! What follows is my invitation for you to join V2T and become a “Get Real!” Partner. It will only take 65 "Get Real! Partners at $25 a month for our ministry dream to become a full-time reality! Please diligently pray about joining V2T in its mission to strengthen the body of Christ by equipping the believer with tangible tools for impacting their worlds for Christ. If not you… who, and if not now… when?
