Here is a cool rendition of a word cloud — brought to you by Wordle.  Quite addictive.  Bet you can’t guess what this blog is about?

We have completed the first full week of our road trip.  In the Atlanta Georgia area, I had plans to meet with several readers of this blog, but I got very sick and had to cancel most appointments.  Even now, strength is beginning to return.

20 Twenty Vision Ministries

I was however able to reconnect with a friend, Chip Buehler, of 20Twenty Vision Ministries. 

Chip and I were leaders (along with several others) of a campus ministry during our college days during a time when God’s spirit was bringing renewal and faith to many people.  At times, our meetings had upwards of 200 people in them.  In reading Chip’s bio, I hadn’t realized how nearly 30 people from those meetings are now in full time ministry today because of what God had done.

Over the past 19 years, Chip has participated in six church plants and ministered to churches and leaders in over 30 nations. His heart for youth has also taken him to over 90 university campuses worldwide.

He is an excellent speaker on all sorts of issues, and I’m sure would be available to you if  had need.  Check out his website at 20Twenty Vision Ministries.  More content is coming from him as he migrates his paper records to a blog format.

Preaching in Charleston SC

The weekend took us to Charleston SC where I had the opportunity to preach at Rockville Presbyterian church (founded in 1850) on Wadmalaw Island on Sunday morning.  I was still weak and not at full speed, but still functional and able to communicate.  Based on the feedback, it seems that the message still found its way home.

That evening, I met with Iglesia Evangelica Buen Pastor that meets in Park Circle Presbyterian.  This church is mostly immigrants from Guatemala and Mexico.  In fact, I don’t think any other Central American country was represented in the church.

Our time in Charleston was hosted by some family friends who are involved at Seacoast church in Mount Pleasant.  We enjoyed some great fellowship and meals along the way and I can see God’s hand in all of the activity in Charleston.

This week as we stay put in one town for a few days, I’ll be sharing some of the thinking that I’ve been doing about evangelism.

We crossed a small mile stone today in page views.  30,000 was from an IP address in Pennsylvania about 11:00am EST this morning.

A word of Thanks

I want to thank those readers who have been using the site to help increase your evangelism passion and further your study. 

This week, I received the following comment from a pastor in South Carolina:

Also, I am so grateful for the ‘god-incidence’ to come to meet you.  Your Evangelism Coach website has already been very helpful to me and my own learning about sharing my faith.  THANKS!!!!!!!!!!

I also want to thank my feed subscribers who have chosen to receive new articles automatically, by email or in their favorite reader.  It continues to be a privilege to speak into your life.  I value your feedback, your comments, and your private emails that you have sent me over the year.

I also want to thank those of you who have signed up for the monthly newsletter.  In it, I share evangelism tips before they appear on the webpage, and communicate upcoming ministry trips.  In fact, we leave Monday, so check out our Travel Plans.

I also want to thank those of you who order books off the website, or who visit www.evangelismcoachbookstore.com.  Product fulfillment is through Amazon, but the ministry gets a small percentage of each book sold through the links here. 

Since the last milestone was reached at 20,000, we’ve added webinars, a few new series on gospel scripts and we’re in the middle of a series for pastors.  We’ve added distance coaching to our services, and doors are opening up for us in many places in the United States and Latin America.  The ministry is growing.  Perhaps you’d like to Write for Us?

I’d like to welcome the several new subscribers to our monthly newsletter and several new subscribers via RSS feed.

I got a email last month from a subscriber that I have made confused between these two forms of communication.  Perhaps blogs and feeds are new to you.  Allow me to introduce the differences:

Newsletter:

Our newsletter is a monthly feature, typically near the end of the month.  It usually offers a summary of popular posts, members only downloads, and practical tips only for subscribers. 

When you first sign up for our newsletter, you’ll get a series of emails about our website, with links to some popular articles in the past.  After that series finishes, you’ll get a monthly newsletter and the occasional announcement from me.

Free bonus: You’ll also receive Avoiding First Time Visitor Nightmares, an article I wrote for Net Results magazine. 

Two ways to get your RSS Feed

The RSS Feed is a publishing tool that will automatically send you new articles that are posted here at EvangelismCoach.

RSS Feed by Reader

Many people use feed readers such as bloglines or google feedfetcher (nearly 50% of my feed subscribers use these two readers). 

A feed reader collects all your feeds, highlights the new articles and allows you to follow all your favorite blogs, news, gossip.  I use Bloglines.com for mine.  The list of blogs I read (plus several others not shown) are in the column to the far right of this screen.

RSS Feed by Email

Others choose to receive the RSS Feed by email.  Whenever a new article is published, it is automatically emailed to you. 

Thus, if you get the monthly newsletter, and subscribe to the RSS Feed by email, you will get lots of email from me, based on how many articles are published.  If I start going to multiple articles a day, your email volume will increase.

What to change how you get your RSS Feed?  Simply visit the RSS Feed Subscription page.

Now what?

	Get your free copy of Avoiding First Time Visitor Nightmares and signup for our newsletter if you’ve yet done so.
	Grab on to our feed, or modify your feed subscription.
