sneak peek @ THE STICKS gathering.

Sorry I can't release any more yet...I said a sneak peek.

The Sticks gathering is for those crazies who are called to a small or medium sized town, and who despite being in a SMALL TOWN, want to make a BIG IMPACT.

The site should be up and running in a stripped down mode next week...remember, all our guys have a bunch of slashes (////) in their titles. All the basics will be there with some pod casts and you tube intros to follow from our speaking team.

The pricing is crazy low for who we are bringing in and the intimacy of the venue. (Limited to 400 registrations). Hotel rooms are even coming in at an amazing rate...God is good!

Here is one more link that will make most of our guys scream...a mock-up (so don't count on all this info being accurate as our team is still working on it, and also the pics were ripped from somewhere and most are a little goofy and cropped in unique ways...especially my goofy shot. We are working on that. Of course the big boys (Batterson and Stevens) with their professional studios and touch-ups:)





blessings, peace and don't get lost finding us!

ps: yes I am not a techy...notice my google search in the pic...learning something new all the time!

a sno cone can change a life.

One of my favorite things we do at New Hope is called KINDNESS IN ACTION. We go out and serve our community in ways that will show GOD'S LOVE with no strings attached. It's not about getting people to church, or exposing New Hope, but exposing GOD and his LOVE to the community.

Last weekend, our ASHLAND LAUNCH TEAM and their NEW CAMPUS PASTOR went to WAL-MART, not to BUY for once, but to GIVE AWAY. They gave away free sno-cones, and popcorn to people heading into shopping Mecca.

Our team is also frantically trying to figure out what else we can do to show God's love at all of our campuses. It is the the response to the LOVE YOUR NEIGHBOR AS YOURSELF thing. Wow.

I can honestly say that more people have come to New Hope or commented on KIA than anything else we have ever done. A sno-cone can change a life.

I love what NATIONAL COMMUNITY CHURCH is doing for their community and I would love for our campus communities to do the same in the future. If you are AMBITIOUS about radically serving your community, check THIS OUT. Check out the main site for Convoy of Hope HERE.

And BTW...don't wait for your church to plan something...GO DO IT!

blessings and peace!
