****Congratulations to Tim Watts******* Your number was picked by the Random Number Generator.
At our church we are trying to rent and ourselves, in a way. There are so many things we need to do. Any resource I can get to help us move in the right direction is a blessing.
Thanks for commenting Chris! Not sure what you mean by the first sentence?
I am a 27-year-old youth & young adult & campus pastor in Holland, MI. I am also the web designer and social media “guy” for our ministry. I have been keeping up with your blogs and trying to figure out how to communicate effectively and authentically via web and social. It is not an easy task. I think I need this book to give me insight in communicating more effectively and with better engagement.
Bless you Ben!
Hey I’d love to check out this book as I study communication design and work at a church in Texas.
Great to hear from you Mark!
We’d love the book because we want to learn and grow. It would be a great resource to fuel our passion to reach the lost and connect with our community.
Great to hear from you Roger! Where about’s is Toongabbie?
Hi Steve
Toongabbie is in western Sydney, about 10 minutes west of Parramatta.
We have really appreciated your articles as this year we have entered our new facility have worked to bring our electronic media up to date.
Recently I also saw another article on best church giving web pages.

I’d be interested if you’ve seen anything that caught your eye.
Thanks again
Roger
Ahhh very cool, we were up through your way in the blue mountains a few years back. Here is a post I wrote on mobile giving a while back if you want some options http://www.stevefogg.com/2016/09/14/why-your-church-needs-mobile-giving/
Hi Steve. Yes I saw that article. We actually went with Tithe.ly as it links into elvanto. Some don’t link to Australia well.
Thanks
Roger
I would love to be even more informed on Mark’s insights so I can lead the church staff I work with to focus and overcome their desire to be all things to all people.
This book will REALLY help Laurel! Great to hear from you!
We are small church with an older demographic, in what has grown to be a community of young family’s. My wife and I joined about four years ago, I soon took on the roll of children’s coordinator and we are seeing some new families becoming part of the church community. We are planning to really become a church for our local community, as we are tending to have people from outside our community driving in for services.
Would love to brand better through our community interactions and Facebook communications.
Great to hear from you Tim!
I was wondering if a winner was announced I can’t see anything posted anywhere.
