A LINE FROM DANNY

One of the questions I believe God will ask each one of us when we get to heaven is, "What did you do with Jesus?" We may anticipate such a question related to salvation but I wonder if He won’t also want to know what we did with Jesus after receiving Him. We can’t escape His commission! We can’t plead ignorance, timidity, fear, or any other such excuse. Our world has been placed in our custody to bring to Jesus. How can we
claim all that God has given us and not give all to tell a lost world about the one who has so bountifully blessed? We can’t … without telling our Lord his words mean nothing.

This issue of the Framework Weekly will take a look at a number of articles related to sharing our faith. I hope you will take advantage of the offers and find some helps in various areas of ministry.

(Note To Editors: The $10.00 cost per article only applies to individuals requesting purchase. Articles for book publishers and/or magazines are to be requested based on your magazine's and/or publisher's going rate.)

OTHER WAYS TO HELP

“How Can I Help?”

That’s a question we often hear these days when people see Built By The Owner’s Design. Actually, there are many ways you can be of assistance. Here are a few ideas:

1. Order a copy. (We wish we could give each of you a copy free but financially that is an impossibility.)
2. Tell others that, while you would be delighted if they bought the book, you’re just writing to let them know it exists.
3. Tell your colleagues, your friends, and your church members about this new resource. Talk it up over coffee, during phone conversations, at church meetings, etc.
4. Take a copy with you when you go to meetings. Show it to people and give them this toll free number (1-800-537-1030).
5. Write a letter to the editor or mini-review for church leadership newsletters or magazines to which you subscribe.
6. Go to Amazon.com and write a 5-star review ... if you think that’s deserved, of course.
7. Give the book as a gift to an aspiring pastor, church staff member, or newcomer to church growth.
8. Ask for Built By The Owner’s Design whenever you go into a bookstore. If they don’t have it, suggest they order it. If they do, put it face-out on the shelf (smile). Thanks!
9. Add a link to your Web site (we’re at http://dannyvonkanel.kingdomgrowth.com or authorsden.com/dannyrvonkanel.)
10. Scan this portion of the newsletter and download it into your email program. Send it to everyone in your address folder (Reply to all). Ask them to forward it to 100 people they know. The more scattered throughout the United states the better.
11. If you know a pastor, church leader, or convention personnel personally that would agree to write a review, contact them and ask them to do so.
12. Consider asking Danny to host a “Built By The Owner’s Design” Church Growth Conference. Conference schedules are listed at my web site at www.DannyVonKanel.kingdomgrowth.com .

Any help you can give will be deeply appreciated. We hope you will “seize the moment” and allow God to use you to let folks experience “Built By The Owner’s Design”.
