'Answer' coming to your neighborhood in Sept/Oct
Don't you wish this really were coming to our neighborhoods closeby, in July/August?
The front & back cover would bear the name of the sponsoring ministry... plus the full 2-page center of the little magazine is customizable for the sponsoring ministry.
For $0.35 per home, these little 5x8" magazines could be mailed automatically to the neighborhoods near us. Let's see... 6 times per year... that's $2.10 per home in our/your neighborhood. How many of our members might be willing to fund that cost for their immediate neighborhood? I'd have to be believe that we would. 25 homes x $2.10 = $50/year. [Are you kidding? Surely the answer is 'yes'. But perhaps even go on a matching basis... $25 for the participating church, $25 individual member.]
One thousand (1,000) homes is the minimum (and they have to be together in an extended-zip area). That's $350 x 6 times per year = $2,100/yr. And if some of your members footed, say, HALF the cost of their immediate neighborhood... that could subsidize the church's cost down to only $1,050/yr.
Let me suggest only spending the money for only those neighborhoods closeby in which you're actively 'Being the Church to the Neighborhood'.
This is just one of the many best-in-class neighborhood resources seen at Nhood.org. ¶ 6:50 AM 0 comments

Welcome to Hamilton County Christians
Welcome. Christ-followers all over Indiana have started using this great new tool God has given us, called the Internet, to connect as a 'net' to fish our cities together, rather than separately.
[Only sport fishermen use poles.]
Typically, it's easiest to connect and work collaboratively with other Bible-believing pastors & leaders city by city, neighborhood-by-neighborhood even. So city clusters of networks are now beginning to form if they haven't already. Here in the 9-county area we call Greater Indianapolis, IndyChristian.com is the centralized site you'll want to stay in touch with daily.
Across the state, Transform Indiana ministry network is the connector of (Christian) city-networks for increased communications in the Kingdom.
This Hamilton County Christians site will be to help intensify connections & teamwork within the county, let 'city-reaching' types of leaders emerge and identify themselves with other city-reachers around the state, and provide for some city-reaching conversation within the county.
So tell your 'driven Christian friends' about the concept, and let us know where the best links in the county are... Bible-believing churches, ministries, pastors, and leaders of all sorts... all the way down to neighborhood-reaching prayer warriors & small-group leaders.
For the moment, drop by Transform Indiana's site and drop us an email -- tell us you found us via Hamilton County Christians blog. Let us know how interested YOU are, in advocating for Christians working together in YOUR communities, and what you might be willing to do, to bring other city-reachers together.
Blessings All. ¶ 6:59 AM 0 comments
