Episode 104: Tacky Porn, No Prom
In honor of our new mission trip resource, Prepare. Go. Live., we are having a little contest to see who has the best Mission Trip story. Good, Bad or Ugly, we don’t care we would love to we just want to read some great stories. Have you ever lost a kid? Had a meal you wish you could forget? Said something that was lost in translation? Saw a transformation you never thought possible? Is there a prize you ask? We are going to be giving away 3 Flip Video Cameras to the best stories (a great way to document your next trip). Just leave your story in the comments. You have until May 25th to leave your story to be eligible to win.
Are you getting ready for mission trip? Check out the new resource, Prepare. Go. Live., to help get your students ready to go, engage during the trip, and live out all they learned after. It includes 5 Prepare student journals, 5 Go student journals, 5 Live student journals, and a Leaders Guide and CD with supplemental material. It’s an awesome resource that we did in partnership with our friends at LeaderTreks.
I told you a little about this new book by Doug Fields last week. It has now officially released.
Check it out here:
You can also get 5 copies bundled with the Plugged In small group video curriculum:
Enjoy!
After a few weeks off, Doug, Josh, and Jana sit down to answer your questions. Topics covered include: prayer teams, “ringing the bell” of your ministry, service length, Josh’s cameo in Far and Away, Senior Pastors checking out, using facebook in your ministry, and dealing with a students past.
We wanted to give you “Insiders” a first peak at a new book by Doug Fields, 10 Minute Moments: Plugged In. It’s a companion study devotional to the Plugged In video small group curriculum. Here’s a quick description:
10-Minute Moments: Plugged In is a daily devotional that’s set up as a journal. Students read a Bible passage, poke their brain with a few questions, get some suggestions on what to pray about, and then space to write down their thoughts. It’s a one-month plan that’s easy to read and easy to stick with. And, if you hadn’t guessed from the title, each “lesson” only takes about 10 minutes.
This time around, they’ll tackle the five biblical purposes of our lives—Worship, Fellowship, Discipleship, Ministry and Evangelism. Keep ‘em on hand for new students, pass ‘em out as graduation gifts, or just hide them in their backpacks. You can’t lose!
And we’d love for you to take a look at the first few couple days of the devotional to see if it’s right for your students.
