Wanted: Healthcare and Wellness Ministries
Leadership Network is launching a research project to discover the ways churches are addressing healthcare and wellness issues. If your church has ministries in these areas--especially serving local communities--we want to hear your story. Tim Dammon, formerly of Bible translation ministry The Seed Company, joins the Leadership Network team as an associate to lead this initiative. Prior to his work with The Seed Company, Tim was in the information technology industry. To contact Tim directly, email him at Tim.dammon@leadnet.org or call him at (817) 882-5920.

CCN Special Event: "Becoming a Contagious Christian" As part of its "Reaching the Unchurched" series, the CCN satellite broadcast network is presenting a special one-day evangelism course created especially for non-evangelists. You and members of your church can spend a Saturday with course developers and authors Mark Mittelberg and Lee Strobel learning how to build relationships, start spiritual conversations, and share the Gospel in your own God-given style.
