How Do We Adapt? Where to Now? 6

Where To Now? 6 
How Do We Adapt? 
#wheretonow 

The world has changed - may be permanently - but has the church changed? 
Does the church need to change, or does it need to adapt?

Are we getting the message out to those that need to hear? 
Fear has gripped the world - but has it also gripped the church?
Jesus came to bring answers to life's most pressing questions, but does the of today have them? 

Where to Now? is asking important questions of influential Christian leaders around the world. 
Make sure you sign up at the link below to get your free invitation zoom link to join us discussing these important issues for this day. 
This maybe the most life transforming hour of your life.

Richard has ministered extensively to Christians leaders in many nations in Africa and Asia. 
For 10 years Richard served as the national chairman of his denomination, ACM (Associated Christian Ministries).

At the beginning of 2015 the whole family moved to Perth. This major move has been part of a transition from the responsibilities of pastoring a local church to being more fully able to give himself to ministering within the wider body of Christ both in Australia and overseas.

He believes that people who grow in their knowledge of who God is and who they are, are most likely to recognise their purpose for living and positively to affect the lives of those around them.

The Practical Steps to Prepare for your Big Event, Outreach or Seminar.


Soulwinning and discipleship is our passion.

 After 40 years of conducting large and small crusades, conferences and seminars across many developing nations we decided to make the collective wisdom of many leaders available to all to help overcome problems associated with 

  • Organising, 
  • Gaining Participation, 
  • Physical locations, stages, sound, light etc
  • Advertising
  • Financing
  • Prayer support
  • Follow Up, Establishing people into existing or planting new churches. 

Experience has shown us that if we do not prepare properly we will lose much fruit.  Either our efforts do not reach the heights we wanted or the results are not what we hoped for or the ongoing outcomes a year or so afterwards do not reflect the goals we set. 


We used this little alliteration for many years in leadership seminars. 

Proper Prior Planning Prevents Pitiful Poor Performance. 


We have distilled the wisdom of many leaders into a manual that you can use to prepare well for any large scale event, whether it is an outreach crusade, a denominational or multidenominational conference, a training seminar or your own church conference etc. 


This wisdom is now available in a hard copy book that you can use a basis for your planning year after year to gain maximum benefits from your event. 

If you follow it carefully and completely you will see amazing results that others will wish they could get, but don't. 

The secret is prayer, not just prayer though, because we know you pray, but integrated prayer through structured approaches to every aspect of planning and preparation. 

If you use this philosophy in all your planning you will not go far wrong. 

Begin with the end in mind.


What do you want to achieve? if that is not clear to you before you start how will you assess whether it was successful or not.  You will have an event with lots of excitement, singing and dancing and preaching but will anything be changed one year on?


Ask your self the tough questions, ask yourself about your last event, What did we set out to achieve? was that measurable? did we measure it? did we achieve our objectives? What could we do better?


This manual will walk you through every aspect of planning, from deciding that leadership committee to choosing the various departments and the leaders for those departments, their character and abilities to the weekly measurement of progress on all major points. 


Order now in order to plan your next event.  



Why you need this instruction and procedure manual.

Because you want your event, (crusade, seminar, performance, music event, conference) to be the best it can be, to get the most out of the available money to run it, even how to get the funds to run it, how to make sure all the practical stuff is thought through carefully in advance so that the maximum possible fruitfulness can be gathered from your efforts for Kingdom building.

Howard Sands has 40 years experience in speaking at, planning or running large scale Christian events in evangelism and leadership training, now is your time to hack that wisdom and knowledge and get a leg up on your event planning with this procedure manual suitable for any application or country.

Where To Now? 5 What is God Saying to the Church?

What is God Saying to the Church? 
#where2now

The last 6 months or so have seen many major upheavals in the world and the way we do life, this has also affected the church in many dramatic ways. The effect on peoples physical health through the pandemic, the turmoil in mental health also reaching epidemic proportions in many paces as well as major economic disasters affecting individuals, businesses, communities and national economies is unprecedented. All this added to travel, gathering and social restrictions have meant we have never encountered life like this before.  

What is God saying to the church in all of this? 

For the last 4 months we have interviewed a variety of leading Christian ministers from all over the world asking them their thoughts as relevant to their country and community. It certainly has been an interesting ride. In November we will be interviewing a younger generation of leaders to hear what they have to say about where the church is headed and what should we be doing now to prepare for the days ahead. 

This is part of the Combined Christian Churches Victory meetings hosted by Beautiful Feet Task Force since 2010.

Pr Binu Thampy 
Equippers Kolkatta, New India Church of God, Cross Culture.

After completing Bible College in Australia in 2001, Binu returned to India and began his life in ministry. He started as, and still functions as, the National Director of the Youth Ministry of New India Church of God (a national church planting movement of approx. 3500 churches)  where he brought significant changes that transformed the face of the whole ministry. 

Obeying the call of God in 2007, Binu and his wife Deena and their baby girl left their home in Kerala and ventured to Kolkata to fulfil the ministry call (an unfamiliar place for them). They started the ministry with nothing and now God has used them in a powerful way to initiate to 120 churches in the North East region of India. 

They founded a ministry called Cross Culture to reach out to the less privileged in their region. Under Cross Culture, there are two homes for orphan children called Kolkata Tree House (KTH), there is a community development program called Freedom Centre, a school on the bus program catering to 150 slum children every day called Vision Rescue and Educare, a community based education and medical program. 

Pastor Binu’s dream is that God will enable them in the next 20 years to establish a ministry base in 150 cities in the northern belt of India and the surrounding nations of the Indian Sub-Continent which could reach 150,000 villages and millions of people. To establish this vision, he has begun a training program for urban church planting called Bridge Institute of Strategic Missions (BISM). 

In 2015 Ps Binu and Deena stepped into the role of Pastors of the city church, Equippers Kolkata with just a handful of people in the church which has now grown to over 200. 

His heart is to see the nation transformed with the powerful gospel of Jesus Christ without denominational barriers, he also travels and ministers across the nation. He lives in Kolkata with his wife Deena and 3 children & 26 full time staff in Kolkata, there are 84 full time workers with Ps Binu in this region.

Daniel Hagen Discography

Daniel is associate director and music director of Awakening Australia 



In 2003, Daniel Hagen radically surrendered his life to Jesus Christ in a powerful encounter that shook-up his world of sex, drugs, and rock ‘n’ roll. His heart was overrun with the love of God and his songs began to overflow with his affection for the Father. As a rising musician, on the verge of scoring a six figure record deal when he was told: “This industry is full of drug dealers and pimps so you need to stop talking about Jesus and stop singing about Jesus if you want any more funds invested into the band.” 

Too deep in love 
with Jesus to go back, Daniel immediately walked away from the life of fame and fortune and pursued his true passion: the Father. Daniel began leading teams of every day believers out onto the streets, where they would 
preach the gospel and demonstrate God’s love through signs & wonders. 

In late 2007, 
Daniel was released to go plant Churches. Now married to an incredible partner in the gospel, Daniel and Chelsea Hagen spent the following thirteen years planting and overseeing Churches in Queensland and Victoria. Today, Daniel is invited to minister to the wider body of Christ, is the Associate Director of Awakening Australia, and the leader of Awakening Music. He is blown away by how God has used him, and is convinced that God can use anyone who would give God their “yes.” 

Together, Daniel and Chelsea are happily married with four children and are the senior ministers of Fire Church ministries in Seaford, Victoria.

Hosts 
Howard & Joy Sands 
Beautiful Feet Task Force
Penrith, Australia


Howard is the founder and director of Beautiful Feet Task Force which recently celebrated 40 years of evangelism and leadership training in India, other Asian countries and across Africa. Howard has taken many small teams there to minister in evangelistic crusades and leadership conferences. 

Howard & Joy started the Combined Churches Victory meeting in 2010 to help the church be all it could be and have brought ministers moving in the presence of God from all over the world to participate in this event with local pastors and leaders. Since lockdown restrictions due to Covid-19 the meeting has been online with zoom and introduced a variety of cutting edge leaders from many countries. 

As  well as pioneering 2 Australian churches, they have ministered in churches across Australia, India, Sri Lanka, Indonesia, UK, U.S.A., U.A.E., N.Z., Hong Kong, Fiji, Romania, Uganda, Kenya, Tanzania, Burundi, Ghana, Cameroon, Togo, Benin, Nigeria, Malawi, Zambia, South Africa, Singapore and China. 

Howard's passion is winning the lost to Christ, teaching believers to be mature followers of Christ and bringing unity across the church.

BFTF runs a social media platform, Africa Network BFTF, for ministers of all kinds in Africa and those interested in missions to Africa. His recent book, The Foundations, helps to establish new believers and is the basis for a video teaching series to establish Africa Network Ministry Training School.
