If you were a sales rep for the kingdom of heaven, would you be fired?

8 December, 2012 By Yvon Prehn 1 Comment

Sales reps can challenge us with their skills
Sales reps can inspire us with their skills in outreach.

As we near the end of the year, evaluate the past, and set goals for the present, I updated this blog. . . .

Please do not take this the wrong way—to use the analogy of a "sales rep for the Kingdom of God" is not meant irreverently at all—it is meant to provide an analogy that may help all of us be a better witness for Jesus. Jesus used many analogies with the professions he knew well to illustrate his messages; I am attempting to follow his example here with an analogy meant to challenge all of us to take seriously the message with which we have been entrusted.

Ebook: What every church leader needs to know about church communications

1 December, 2012 By Yvon Prehn Leave a Comment

What Church Leaders Need to Know About Church Communications
Church leaders must be involved in the church communication process, this book shows how.

An effective church communication ministry that enables unchurched people to find Jesus as Savior and grow to mature disciples takes the joint efforts of all the church staff. Church communications that fully fulfill the Great Commission take more than a church administrator who knows how to create professional-looking publications. They require involved pastors and leaders.

Unfortunately, this involvement is rare and that lack of involvement results in less than effective communications and often frustrated church communicators. This does not mean church leaders need to know how to do church communications, but they need to understand how they are done. Leaders also need to set the vision for the goals for the communication ministry and be certain to evaluate and follow-up communication projects. This book will help your church leaders understand the need for their involvement and the limits to their communication involvement in this vital area of church leadership, management and growth.

Below is the Table of Contents for the book. The ebook is free for Effective Church Communication Members or you can buy it as an immediate download below. [Read more...]

Half-page Christmas designs for postcards, invitations, programs

27 November, 2012 By Yvon Prehn Leave a Comment

Christmas Booklet Cover or Half size Postcards#11
The files here are half of an 8.5 x 11 sheet and can be used as postcards, program covers, or however you'd like.

These half-page designs can be used in many ways for your Christmas outreach: as invitation postcards that you make up for your people to hand out, as reminders, as encouragements to attend Christmas programs, as gift inserts, and they work quite well as a cover for a Christmas program.

You can edit the card if you are an ECC Member and have access to the MS Publisher files, but even if you don't edit them, they are great designs you can personalize on the back.

The design to the left is free for everyone. CLICK HERE or on the image to download it. It is a ready-to-print PDF. Below are the additional designs for Effective Church Communication Members. Each of these designs is in a ZIP file at the end of the article that has:

  • Ready-to-print PDFs
  • Editable MS Publisher Files
  • Hi-res images
