********************************************************A LINE FROM DANNY

In some ways, talking about church growth when our nation is at war may seem of little importance. Yet, if our nation is going to survive, it will be because of strong faith in Christ. The church is God’s instrument of righteousness in a world full of demonic dictators, wimpy pacifist nations, and arrogant strongmen. Jesus was none of the above. Growing churches strengthens His Body in changing our world one person at a time.

This week’s newsletter will feature articles on church staff relations. Take your time and sample. May you find something that will motivate, stir, inspire, or inform you.

SPECIAL OFFER COMING NEXT WEEK!!!

As promised by this Framework Weekly Newsletter, a special offer will be made only to subscribers. It will meet your needs, provide a unique resource for church leaders, and is affordable. Don’t miss this opportunity!! You’ll get the offer in a special issue of the FRAMEWORK WEEKLY next week!!!!

“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. (I wish I could give each of you a copy free but financially that is 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 letter and download it into your email program. Send it to everyone in your address folder (Reply to all). I presently have 207 email entries. Ask them to forward it to100 people they know. The more scattered throughout the United States the better.
11. Ask your Director of Missions, Presbytry, or elder board to consider buying enough copies to give to preachers as a gift. If he is reluctant to do so, contact the preachers and make them aware the book exists.
12. 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.
13. Consider asking your pastor 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 do to get the word will be deeply appreciated. We hope you will “seize the moment” and allow God to use you to impact Danny’s future.
