Churches are a bit surprised when I tell that outreach is both art AND science. Yt I believe it's absolutely true. In working with 100's of churches over the last 3 years on outreach and evangelism strategies, some things work and others don't. But when a Pastor says something like "direct mail doesn't work in my area" and no data to back it up other than a mediocre attempt at direct mail, it's frustrating. Not only that, it hurts the church from using that media again to reach people. As we approach Easter, I am getting emails daily from Pastors … Read More
MacBook Air… One Week Later
– I got a Macbook Air last Monday and all I can say is wow! – I love how light it is. – I love how fast it is. – I'm amazed by the battery life. I took it home on Thursday evening and didn't get to plug it in until Sunday night! – I bought the 13 inch Macbook Air and upgraded the RAM and hard drive space. – I also bought an external hard drive to keep all my pictures and music – I was a little nervous about going from a 15 inch Macbook Pro to a … Read More

Why Isn’t Your Outreach Working?
As we've been talking about outreach this week, another reason churches get poor results in their marketing and outreach efforts is because they don't track their results. Here's the truth: if you aren't tracking your results, you have no idea if your outreach/ marketing is working or not. Butts in the seats is not the only way to see if your direct mail, Facebook ad or Google ad is working. While I would agree that someone attending your church is the end result we want, there are other factors involved. 1. Someone could get your direct mail and go to … Read More

Attend my New Coaching Network for FREE!
I once attended a one day seminar that cost $800 to attend. But I tell people that it was free. Why? Because the seminar taught me to save thousands in direct mail and be more effective. My philosophy was, if I paid $800 but saved $10,000, then the seminar didn't actually cost me a dime. I want to do the same thing for you. Why? Because I firmly believe that now is the best time to reach people. Not only because of the state of our world, but this time of year is historically when people are most … Read More
It Ends Today
Just a quick reminder that the $50 off coupon code for our newest resource, "The Leadership Pipeline" ends today. The coupon code pipeline is good for either the CD version or the mp3 download version. In this 12-CD resource, I lay out how we have created a leadership system at Calvary Fellowship where we have never had to look outside of our church to hire staff. Instead, we've always had several candidates ready to join the staff at any given time. This is true with all staff: Associate Pastors, ministers, ministry leaders, and administrative staff. But this doesn't happen by accident. … Read More
