Hey aren't you on vacation???? Of course you are missed. clean out your HP email... please. no pc yet of Tori , will get this afternoon

Hi James,
Our next preachers' meeting is scheduled for Tue., July 13. It would be great to see you. However, I won't be there as I will be on vacation (Lord willing). My wife and I were fairly close to you about 3 weeks ago. We attended a conference for supporters of the Cochabamba, Bolivia mission team at the DFW Hilton Executive Center near the airport. If you would want to give a presentation on what you're doing at the preachers' meeting you should give Roger a call. We are always looking for presenters at the meeting. I think your Mission Outreach Network is great. I've watched over the months and it has grown and is still growing in membership. Have a great evening. Rod

Thanks James, - may not need the video. Ran with some other ideas yesterday and all may be well. Church planting is going incredible. We are having a blast making disciples that make disciples and planting churches that plant churches. We need to get coffee sometime.

Hi, my calling at present is to write and lead teen bible studies. So, that is what I am doing. My own kids are in college and beyond. I do have a desire to see my studies translated, and I hope to have one of them in Japanese by then end of the year.

Hi James! Zack Blaisdell here. I just finished my studies at Sunset about 3 weeks ago. I have moved back to Plano and living with my parents. Lubbock is a pretty cool place. I missed home a lot so I am very excited about being back home in the DFW metro area. My Dad is going to have a heart valve replaced on Monday. Please be praying for him. He gets tired a lot, so he is ready to have this procedure done. Hopefully in a couple of months he'll be good as new.Once Dad is back on his feet I hope to figure out exactly what I want do in life. Campus ministry/ young adults are a growing passion of mine. Also community outreach, church involvement, and spiritual formation. I hope to focus on one of those, or any combination of those. James, God bless you, your family, and the work y'all are doing in Mckinney. Grace and Peace.
Zack

Really? Your going on computer/INTERNET withdraw for a till next year????

Hey James, sorry for that. I'm just really stressed. My family and I our not on good terms because we both hurt each other. Anyway, my parents think I'm crazy for some of the things I told them. But it's not true. I know what I experienced. They think that a wordly woman is going to fix my problems. They don't know how to go to God's people and ask for help, which I have done. They get jealous when I talk to other Christians about my problems instead of them. I won't talk to them because they don't understand me and we always get in an argument. I was upset when I wrote my last comment because of issues here. Anyway I will keep you in my prayers. Thanks, Jason

But today I realize that they are my friends, just not like I want them to be. Anyway, I'm leaving home because my parents think I'm crazy and they don't understand me. They want to get me help with some worldly person because they think what happened isn't real. They think that God really wouldnt do what I said he did. I'm not lying to you all of this is true. It's not all my fault that I got in this position but Part of it is. I'm sorry I got myself into it Im not sure how to get out. I need help making good choices. I wasn't always like this.

I don't think I've invited anyone over, though I just thought want to come visit me sometime.

Ah, I didn't noticed that filling out the last name part of the form. I had a ning account before so I just used the one I had. Didn't really look over it too much. I added my last name.

Well, about having friends. I attend at the moment BCS chuch of christ in Bryan College Station Texas. It's an hour away from where I am, at the moment I'm currently living in the country near Caldwell. Not only do I go to Worship services I go to all the bible studies I can and hang out with all the other College Christians because it's near a University. I've visited they're homes, hung out with them, fellowship, go to bible studies and all such. But no one as ever come to visit me here in near Caldwell. So how can they really be my friends? Maybe I don't understand what it is to be a friend? But I thought I did. Right now I'm going through a rough time, that's my own fault.

Well, I'm alone and I need some people who really want to be my friends. Nobody I seem to be around in my life at the moment know's how to truly be a good friend. I have a lot I want to say about myself. I'll write about in the forum.

Thanks James, my main interest is to help spread the Word of God to people in the world all over the world.

James, thanks so much! Our unit in the hospital is very small and we are all so close to each other. This has been devastating and breaks my heart along with my friends and her family. This has been extremely hard to deal with.

Hello James, things are going well in Odessa. The weather is hot but so beautiful. Inspite of all the storms around us, God has kept us safely in his loving arms. I enjoy coming this site and reading all comments and getting ideas regarding mission work. Blessings

James, thanks for welcoming me to this site. I look forward to being challenged and stretched. We are having fun discovering what 'missional' is in Paso Robles. I am currently reading 'The Shaping of Things to Come' and find myself writing all over the margins. I am involved in missional church planting throughout Northern California with our denomination - Converge Worldwide. Specifically, my wife and I planted Harvest 8 years ago as a multicultural, hands & feet ministry. I am bilingual and we conduct all our ministries in English & Spanish!! There seems to be a constant 'tension' in this direction of ministry!! I am married, with an adopted 12-year old son, a 17-month foster son who we are adopting with more foster kids on the way!! Grace & Peace to you! - Chris

James, thanks for the welcome to your sharp-looking site. I'm glad your dad and Ray Hooper turned me toward it. My main interest in outreach and mission is two-pronged: my work with Missions Resource Network allows me to be connected and interested in helping foster disciple-making movements around the globe. Secondly, my wife and girls and I are trying to live an increasingly missional life among our neighbors in the community of North Richland Hills where we've lived for almost a year. We helped plant a church in Portland, Oregon's inner city before moving here to work with MRN. IN HIS GRIP--LANNY

We attend the church on Duck St. by the campus. It's great!!

Hey James! Thanks for the welcome! I'm still trying to figure things out and am currently fighting with my picture! :) My husband and I are currently attending the Stillwater Church of Christ and LOVE IT!!! We needed a bit of a change and have been in Stillwater for the past 2 years. I was born and raised in Perry, Oklahoma and grew up in the church there! Hope you are having a great day! :)

James, here is a brief comment excerpted from a review I did. I could provide a more detailed one if it would help.

Kevin Harney has written one of the best and most useful books on evangelism of 2009. It is called Organic Outreach for Ordinary People (Zondervan. $14.99 paper). Subtitled Sharing Good News Naturally Harney's book supplies a wonderful resource on the basics of evangelism that is biblical, creative and highly practical. Divided into three sections: Preparing the Soil, Planting and Watering, Bearing Kingdom Fruit we are given insights into the biblical teaching on evangelism, the importance of prayer and incarnational living, and practical tools like engaging in spiritual conversations and telling your story.

Perhaps the best section of the book is the first where we are introduced to the need to embrace the Bible and truth (with a superb section called "Doctrine Matters"), the "One-Degree Rule: identifying the means of raising our evangelistic temperature, and "Everyone Plays," a compelling teaching on how the whole Church can get into the game, evangelistically.

Those familiar with Becoming a Contagious Christian and Becoming a Contagious Church will see some familiar ideas, especially in the final section on tools but pastors and evangelism leaders, especially those in traditional churches whose evangelism ministry can grown dormant, will find fresh and inspiring insights to help their people again catch a vision for sharing their faith.
