Catalyst One Day is coming to Seattle Aug. 26. We’ve got free tickets and lessons about how regional differences can change our communication strategy.
Currently living in Portland… this would be a great opportunity for myself as a young leader in the marketplace making a conscious effort to better the lives of God’s people.
Tnitially I was drawn in by the “free tickets” offer, but not for long. This is a great and challenging article about our willingness to think about CONTEXT when we reach out to a community.
Interestingly, lots of lessons shared have been exactly our experiences as we plant a church in New York City after moving from Sydney, Australia.
* Are we willing to invest the “time” to be more than another church plant that comes and goes?
* Will we be “patient” and build an authentic community, or try to shortcut with gimmicks and shotgun marketing?
* What does “success” mean in a city like NYC?
* Do we have the courage to be real, to earn “trust”, to commit to the journey
Hello from Baton Rouge. I would love to attend in Seattle. I love the Catalyst podcast and would love to hear the leaders that you have planned for this event.

Sometimes I feel like we get left out up here and what they are saying has been my experience during 7 years of ministry here.
