Happy Thanksgiving!

Hey – real quick!

It’s Scott Whitaker, President of Church Leader Insights.

Today is Nelson’s 40th Birthday and I’ve hijacked his blog today!

He’s out enjoying the day with his family and I just thought of the perfect birthday gift -

I’M MAKING A BIRTHDAY BOOK OF TESTIMONIES!

Would you be willing to share a testimony of how Nelson has impacted your ministry?  Or – you can just simply share a birthday greeting.

I’ve had the CLI team build a special page where you can write Nelson a note.

Just click the link below and you can write him a greeting or a special testimony of the impact he’s had on your ministry:

http://www.churchleaderinsights.com/birthday

To thank you – I’ll send you a gift certificate for 40% off any downloadable resource at the Church Leader Insights store.

Just don’t tell Nelson – he might not be happy with me giving such a big gift certificate on the resources he spends so many hours developing.

But what can I say, he’s the one turning the big 4-0 today! 

On Wednesday, I’m having dinner with Nelson here in Atlanta and I’ll share the book of testimonies that have been collected. Nelson is more sentimental than he admits and I think he often underestimates how deeply his resources help churches.

So please hurry – we don’t have a whole lot of time. To be included in the book, please respond no later than 1:00pm Eastern on Wednesday, October 5.

Will you please take a moment now and share your testimony?

I look forward to seeing the look on his face when I give him the book.  Only then will I tell him about all the 40% off gift certificates!  HA!

Thanks in advance!

Scott

P.S. One reason I’m so excited about this book is that I’m not only the President of Church Leader Insights, but also a 3-time coaching alumni and a Pastor.

I know the impact Nelson’s church systems approach has in our church. I look forward to reading your story and sharing it with him. Here’s the link:

And remember, I need it by 1:00pm Eastern on Wednesday, October 5, to prepare it.

Are you called to minister to children and their families in South Florida?

The Journey – Boca is the latest location of The Journey Church, founded by Nelson Searcy in 2002 in New York City.  The Boca location started in February 2011 and is growing rapidly.  The position of part-time Children’s Pastor is currently available.

The Journey consistently has 200-300 adults and between 30 and 50 children attending weekend services, and expects continued growth.

Are you passionate about helping children learn about Jesus, connecting families to the life of the church, and assembling & growing a caring team of volunteers?

Are you intrigued by the idea of creating the “best hour of a child’s week” each Sunday?

Can you recruit, train and develop a team of volunteers to show God’s love on a weekly basis to an ever-expanding group of children?

Are you interested in helping a new, growing church continue to grow?

Do you have a high view of “serving as part of discipleship” and do you have a strong desire to reach unchurched families?

This is not a pastoral care position, but an equipping position to make a difference in the lives of the children and families that God is sending to The Journey.

Responsibilities:

• Leadership, growth and innovation of The Journey Kidz ministry – including everything from curriculum and teaching to safety and security to volunteer recruitment and training.
• Requires the ability to effectively lead a team and to raise up new volunteers at a rapid rate.  Solid organizational, administrative, and communication skills are a must.
• Must be extremely hard-working and demonstrate a “whatever it takes” attitude to get things done with excellence.
• Other desired characteristics include strong interpersonal skills; growing leader; team builder; sense of humor; risk-taker (seminary not required).

JOB REQUIREMENTS:

• A solid calling to vocational ministry
• The ability to manage a large and growing children’s ministry system
• A passion for the Bible and innovation
• An ability to teach, lead classes and lead meetings (volunteers/staff)
• A team player
• A positive attitude
• A familiarity with The Purpose Driven Church Model
• A risk taker
• Experience with and passion for children and family ministry
• A drive for evangelism and reaching the unchurched
• A high commitment to the local church
• Non-charismatic

Only resumes accompanied with a COVER LETTER will be considered. 

The cover letter should be personalized for this position and should answer 3 questions:

(1) Why you are interested in this position?

(2) Why you would feel comfortable transitioning into this role and leading Journey Kidz to the next level?

(3) And what about you makes you stand out from other candidates for this position?

Compensation: $18,000 – $20,000/year salary

Please send cover letters and resumes to tommy <at> bocajourney.com.

With the 10th anniversary of September 11, 2001 this weekend, there have been lots of emotions around The Journey.

In fact, we prepared a number of videos for our time of remembrance this Sunday and I thought I’d share one of them with you.

This is The Journey Church launch story and how it was impacted by 9/11:

Wanted to take a moment today to tell you about the Vault Conference coming up October 10-12 in Las Vegas – in fact, I asked my friend Vince Antonucci to tell you all about it:

Vault will bring you deep inside the thinking and methods Vince Antonucci and Verve Church use in Las Vegas, which have led them to reach atheists, pimps, prostitutes, bikers, Wiccan witches, Buddhists, strippers, lesbians, and many more of the truly lost, the people Jesus called all of us all to reach.

How can YOUR CHURCH go from reaching church shoppers to reaching people who don’t like church? That’s what Vault is all about, and you don’t want to miss the conversation!

This year special guest John Burke will be leading three sessions of Vault.  You may have seen John speak at Willow Creek’s Leadership Summit.  He’s the author of No Perfect People Allowed, and the church planter and pastor ofGateway, one of the most evangelistically effective churches in America. John will share principles you can use to reach people who are truly far from God.

Our other special guest is Will Mancini, author of Church Unique and leader of Auxano.  Will is one of the sharpest leaders in the church world today, and will be speaking on vision clarity.

The cost is only $125 (or $100 for groups of 2 or more), which includes three meals and book giveaways! The conference is limited to about 100 people, which provides for an amazing dynamic that promotes learning and relationships. But it also means that registration will fill up soon, so register today!

I hope you and your church had a great day yesterday.

Since it’s Monday (and I’m sure you’re busy), I’ll be quick:
