Event Hosting Inquiry for Church and City Transformation

Above  Pic: Salvation appeal at gospel crusade, Kenya Aug 2024. 

We often get asked to come to a pastors church, event or country because they see the work that we are doing. That is nice, but they usually lack details (often they lack real intent too)  so we are setting out a few things that will help you to make a clear and God inspired expression of interest in Beautiful Feet Task Force ministry. (BFTF)

We hope this message finds you well. We are thankful for the many who have expressed interest in having a BFTF team in their church, denomination or city over recent times. 

We are seeking expressions of interest from Christian leaders who may be willing and able to host Howard Sands and or a BFTF team for one or more of the following significant events in your city or region:

• City-Wide Leaders Unity Conference. An event designed for a minimum of 200 leaders focused on fostering unity and equipping leaders to work together for greater Kingdom Impact.  
• City-Wide Leaders Training Seminar:, with essential knowledge and skills for ministry leadership and community impact.
• Combined Churches City-Wide Outdoor Mass Crusade for Salvation and Healing:            A large-scale outreach with a minimum attendance of 2,000 people, aimed at bringing together churches across your city for a powerful time of salvation, healing, and transformation leading to growth.

To ensure the effectiveness and impact of these initiatives, please note the minimum attendance requirements: at least 200 leaders for the conference or seminar, and at least 2,000 attendees for the outdoor mass crusade. Any amount above that is OK, We just need to meet these minimums for efficiency reasons. 

We kindly invite you to consider which of these events your city or church network would be interested in hosting, and to indicate your preference by private mail after checking the details of this blog

What is it Going to Take?

The world is in upheaval. 
Nothing is what it used to be. 
How is the church handling the current situation? 
Are we cowering down and waiting for things to go back to normal?
or 
Are we looking for opportunities to share Christ with a hurting, confused, angry, lonely depressed people, people without focus, without purpose and without hope? 

Now is the time to re-evaluate everything we hold dear. 
If we are born of an incorruptible seed, then its time for that seed to germinate and produce in us what its purpose is. 
 
The question we should be asking is: 
What is it going to take to reach your people group? 
My community, my town or city, my ethnic group, my nation. 

NOT: What can I can do? 
NOT: What have others done before us? 
NOT: What is possible? 
No, the answers to all these questions limit our best possible outcomes to the extent of my current faith. 
Jesus did not call us to go and live within the realms of our possibilities but our impossibilities. 
He did not not ask us what we thought we could do, but commanded us, "Go ye into all the world and preach the gospel."

He did not form a committee, or take a vote. 
He came with a purpose, to establish the kingdom of God on earth and redeem mankind.
He commanded his followers to make disciples. 
Then Jesus came to them and said, “All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me. Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, and teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you. And surely I am with you always, to the very end of the age.”  Matthew 28.18-20  

I believe it's time to 

RETHINK CHURCH. 

It's time to get onto doing what Jesus commanded, instead of playing religious games and kidding ourselves that we are doing God's will.  

Jesus said, 

"Go ye, Disciple nations"
We have largely, stayed home and got fat.

Our thinking, for the most part, has been limited to growing a congregation in a building. 

People want answers, people want hope, they want reality, they actually want what God offers them, the chance to live in the life of their original design, as God intended, but how will they find it? Most unbelievers would never step inside a church, so how will they hear the message of His love. How will they get to experience His love, and become a part of His family through becoming a new creation.  

I was recently challenged greatly by the message of Chris Galanos from Experience Life Church in Lubbock Texas in his book "From Megachurch to Multiplication."  After growing a conventional church to mega church status in under 8 years he started to question the way they were doing church, how valid were their goals and why was he not thinking like some of the missionaries their church supported and others, that were thinking in terms of how to reach an entire ethnic group, a state or even an entire nation. 

While his church was lauded as one of the USA's fastest growing churches, and thinking in terms of thousands (they had already seen over 10,000 commitments to Christ) the people he was gleaning from were thinking in the millions. 

Whatever you believe God has called you for, I believe it is time to rethink. 
Rethink vision, rethink purpose, rethink goals, rethink strategies. 

If we always do what we have always done, we will always get what we have always got. 

If what the church has done in its efforts to reach the world over the last approx 1700 years has achieved its goal of winning the world and making disciples OF all nations - not just in all nations, (since the Roman Empire institutionalised the church) then we can go back to doing what we did before, but if it appears that the previous methods and strategies did not do as Jesus commanded then maybe its time to rethink. 

E-Life church's journey towards movement, may not be for everybody, it will certainly challenge the status quo if you act on it, but at least it seems to be one church's attempt to answer the question "What is it going to take to reach your people group?"

Next Level Training free for African Christian Leaders

You are invited to use the Next Level training to take your ministry to the next level by participating in the 10 Day Challenge where you will be taught to think and plan strategically, make God centred plans and carry them out, even if you lack the required people, places, training, knowledge, resources or skills. 

Lets face it - that's most of us isn't it. 

How do some people keep on moving their ministry forward for bigger and bigger impact and others are always struggling, there are 2 keys to answer this question, knowledge and application. 

If you don't know you can't do. 

If you know but don't do, still nothing happens. 

We have a vision to train 10,000+ African Christian leaders this year to grow, make a bigger impact and fulfill a bigger vision than they ever thought possible for them; but it needs people like you to answer the challenge and do something substantially more than you have done before.

Beautiful Feet Task Force has developed a 10 Day Challenge to help you know, understand and apply the principles necessary to move ahead at a faster pace than ever before as the days are so critical now to make real true disciples to Jesus. 

The program requires you to join the facebook family Growing African Christian Leaders and when you have joined to complete the Guides which set you up to receive the membership gift and the 10 Day Challenge by email. 

We realise this is not for everyone for various reasons,

ie

• those people who already know everything,
• those people that are already have a worldwide impact in the millions,
• those people who don't really have a vision at all,
• those people that are afraid of challenge and hard work.

Most leaders however would consider that their vision is not yet accomplished and they could use knowledge, training and mentoring to move ahead, they are humble enough to admit that they don't yet know everything, then these are the people that this training is for. 

Here is how you access the 10 Day Challenge 

1. JOIN the facebook group Growing African Christian Leaders here.
2. Answer the 3 admission questions. Wait for approval.
3. Read the welcome post and go through the GUIDES. 
4. Make sure you have submitted your email in the process of doing the Guides and clicked the confirm link in the email you receive to start the flow of training. 

We have already reached 1,000 members ready to grow- join and be one of them. 

How much would it be worth to you to be able to grow your ministry to the next level? how would you measure the value to you of increased numbers, increased impact, wider spread, increased reputation, more souls won, bigger achievements for your community, humanitarian or social welfare projects? 

How much would you be prepared to pay to get to this level? Everything costs, there are no free lunches, what someone gets for nothing someone is paying a price for, we should be thinking about the value obtained and be prepared to pay something to get there. The good news is, the price has already been paid, the membership and mentoring in the group is free (but you are expected to contribute your wisdom and learning so others may grow too). The membership gift and the 10 Day Challenge is free. So what is stopping you taking on the challenge. Is it your unwillingness to face the tough questions, make tough decisions and do the work - I think you have already faced up to these problems before in your life so go ahead right now, join the group, do the guides, sign up for the 10 day Challenge and do the work.

Join now.

Join now.
