Engagement Project Leader Training Now On-Line

I suppose it would take several pages to list the changes that have occurred in our lives this year. If someone would have told me, a year ago, that in 2020 all our malls would be closed, the stadiums would be empty, the restaurants will be closed, a U.S. economy that was going like gangbusters would grind almost to a halt, nobody would care about hockey or basketball or baseball, everyone would be wearing masks and you will have to register to go to church, I would have called their doctor.

Well, it was in the middle of all of this that the Lord chose for us to release the Engagement Project and I am a firm believer that He always knows the right time. Although Hollywood is postponing the release of its 2020 blockbusters, we didn’t. It isn’t about box office receipts, it’s about seeing the body of Christ healthy and strong and vibrant, being light and salt in a desperate culture.

It is true that we had planned to roll out with a flood of training conferences in Arizona, Alaska, Florida, etc., and COVID has forced us to postpone all of them, but we still launched the Engagement Project. We had conferences in Billings, Des Moines, Cincinnati and Colorado Springs, and the Lord was gracious to fill those conferences to the COVID limit. And, because of those conferences and the live streaming, there are now small groups as far away as South Africa.

The Lord appears to be blessing it… all for His glory.

But, to compensate for the loss of so many conferences, we have created an online, on-demand EP leader training course. I would much rather come to your state and see you eye to eye, and ask you to commit to pray for your people in your small group gathered in your home, but this is the next best thing to do. And, after you complete the training, I will get to see you eye-to-eye, on Zoom. :)

So, if you are ready to lead a small group through the Engagement Project, click the link on the home page.

May the Lord deeply bless you!

Engagement Project Launch

We are rejoicing! God was gracious to us yesterday at the Engagement Project launch in Colorado Springs. We filled the sanctuary of Village Seven Presbyterian Church (within the COVID restrictions) and there were 490 who joined us on the live stream. It was a joy for me to be able to meet so many who had been faithful in leading the Truth Project and were now excited to take this next step. They came from Florida and Georgia, Arizona and Wyoming and other parts in between. Those who were online were watching from New York to Alaska, Minnesota to Louisiana, and New Jersey to Alberta, Canada. Believe or not, we also had people participating in the live stream from Romania, the United Kingdom, South Africa and other countries. God is so very good! This is quite humbling to me and I can do nothing but thank our gracious Lord for all of this and those through whom He worked – all those who sacrificially gave so that we might meet what appeared to be an insurmountable budget; those who have labored tirelessly like the Truth Encounter Ministries Board; and those who have been faithful prayer warriors. This is the culmination of over ten years of dreaming and hoping and waiting on the Lord, but when I held the DVDs in my hands, it finally sunk in that God had carried us to the finish line. However, it really isn’t the finish line because we are dedicated to the care and feeding of all of those that He will raise up to lead small groups in their home and to begin to engage the culture around them. We are going to do our very best to provide them with whatever resources we can to help them in their critical Kingdom work. We are also already thinking and planning for the final phase: the Restoration. May God put His hands on all of it. Soli Deo Gloria!

A New Chapter in The Truth Encounter

Greetings Everyone! I am writing to let you know about two very important updates for our Truth Encounter Community. As you know, it has been my vision to continue the biblical worldview work that God began in my life years ago, beginning with New Geneva Seminary, Summit Ministries, the Truth Project, Cross Examine, Who Is Jesus and other worldview teaching, including the new release February 23 of the film, “Is Genesis History”. Launching this site was a big step in our ongoing work. And now, we are taking another big step. Let me share the details. I'm very excited to announce that Marc Fey, who led The Truth Project team with me at Focus on the Family, has joined me full-time to help us realize the dream God laid on my heart in 1992. As the team leader, Marc was instrumental in developing and launching the project, including our work with Cold Water Media to produce the DVD content, develop website resources and conference trainings and manage our relationships with Truth Project leaders, partners, and key organizations. This is indeed a pivotal time for us, and I am thrilled to be reunited with Marc to build what we pray will be God's movement in the hearts and minds of His people--on His terms and for His glory. Second, with Marc's addition to our team, you should expect regular communication from Marc and me, updating you on our progress with The Engagement Project and The Restoration Project, the next two series to follow-up the worldview teaching we have done up to this point. After many years of stops and starts, it appears God is moving people and resources into place for us to resume in a more concentrated and strategic manner the work of The Truth Encounter. So, with me please welcome Marc back to the team. And more importantly, please consider renewing your prayer efforts for God's work through each of us, for we all have an important role to play in realizing this God-inspired vision-- a movement in and through God's people in our generation.
