The Intersection of Children's Ministry and Disciplemaking...

My disciplemaking friend, Andrew Lindell, trained the summer staff of Camp of Champions USA (COCUSA) to live and share a Jesus-like disciplemaking way of life with the next generations of children. (In case you're wondering, Andrew did this training. And you can too.)

Looks like it's going to be a disciplemaking summer with kids at COCUSA!

How beautiful and strategic is that?

Ponder this for a moment:
Wouldn't it be CRAZY if the kids being discipled make more disciples—and then those disciples make even more disciples?

Yeah, crazy like Jesus.

Making disciplemakers who make more disciplemakers: It's the only hope for this country and the world.

Here's why.

Please pray a quick right-now prayer for God to use the staff of Camp of Champions in making disciplemakers with the next generations—for extension of God's kingdom and His glory!

 p.s. Join us for this disciplemaking training experience on August 1st at Community Free Church in Mahomet, IL. Contact me for details.

So many people trying to find friendship and community...

If video above doesn't appear, go here . So many people trying to find friendship and community. Here's a thought. Instead of trying to "find" community, what if instead you sought to "build" community right where you live , work , play , and church ? But how does one "build" community? As a general rule, I try to take all of my questions to Jesus and the Bible.  So, how did Jesus "build" community?   This is where I invite you to do your own study on how Jesus used meals to connect with people. At a minimum, you could quickly search " Jesus eating. " What can we say with certainty about Jesus and eating in the Bible? It seems that Jesus enjoyed eating meals with all sorts of people—and the meal wasn't about the food—it was how Jesus connected with people. Can you think of a better way to connect with people? Perhaps this is why Paul lists "hospitality" as a requirement for all leaders in the church (1 Timothy 3:
