 Hey Everyone,
I hope this email finds you well. Mary and I were recently speaking at a LIQUID Gathering in Roswell NM, yes, the site of the "alien" crash, or "weather balloon" landing, and came across the folks of Grace Community Church. God did some amazing things at this event. One person said that the Gathering helped their Ministry, Their Mission and Their Marriage! As for us, we were simply blessed beyond belief by these folks. They were everything a church, host, leader and servant of God should be. Gracious, hospitable, grateful, joyful, passionate and all with tremendous attitudes. There are a lot of "jokes" about Roswell and the "landing" but I prefer Job's words, "The alien has not lodged outside, For I have opened my doors to the traveler." Job 31:32. It was a reminder to me that we are all one in Christ. I hope you all have a great week and don't forget to check out our new website!

LIQUID Gathering DVD
Filmed Live at Irving Bible Church in Dallas TX
Session 1: How Do You Pour Your Leadership Into Others?
Craig
takes a look at a few different personality styles you may encounter
while serving in ministry. After this session you will be able to identify
the different personalities within your ministry and have a better
understanding of how to manage, lead and "pour" your leadership into
them for a more fluid and successful ministry.
Session 2: Soaking Up, Wringing Out
In
this session, Craig takes a look at how difficult circumstances can
build leadership into your life. "Leadership is released when twisting
occurs" is the motto for this session. God never wastes a hurt and
Craig uses this session to communicate this transformational process.
Session 3: Help, My Bucket Is Empty
Craig
and Mary share their personal testimony of how ministry can consume
your family and how the enemy wants to get a foothold on your life in
order to destroy your marriage, family and even push you to the point
of despair. In this session, Craig and Mary share authentically from
their hearts and past mistakes so you can learn how to replenish your
soul, when you have nothing left to give. You'll hear practical advise
on how to put your marriage and family first, how to cultivate time
together and how to be healthy in your relationships.

Exit Interviews
Together they reinvented ministry to
children and families. In four different churches in four different
parts of the nation, they designed programs that ministered to
thousands of children each week. Their ideas defied schoolroom-inspired
Sunday School models and shattered accepted standards of Christian
Education. Now, as each one has expanded beyond those original churches
into national ministries, they're able to speak openly and honestly as
never before.
For 16 years, Sue Miller designed and led the
revolutionary Promiseland concept at Willow Creek Community Church.
Craig Jutila guided Saddleback's wildly successful children's ministry
for 13 years and Jim Wideman led the children's ministry at Church on
the Move for 17 years. Reggie Joiner was one of six leaders who started
North Point Community Church, serving as executive director of family
ministry for 12 years. All moved from church environments to national
platforms so that they could leverage their influence to impact the
next generation.
In this informal living-room discussion,
Reggie, Sue, Jim and Craig talk about what mattered most, what
surprised them over the years, what disappointed them in difficult
times and what gave them the most hope for the next generation.
