Shark Tank

Called 2015 – Shark Tank Session 1

Today’s evening the Called NAD Ministerial Convention closed with the evangelism Shark Tank.

Wow !!! What a great way to see innovative, creative, passionate new ideas to do evangelism. I can see this as a program that even local churches can do to get young and old sharing their ideas for evangelism and working together as a Church to make it happen.

Even thought there is a ranking from 1st to 5th place each night. Each presenter and representing Church comes out a winner, which is a great way of saying that each effort matters to Jesus.

Personally I am proud to see the widely varying ideas today

  1. Prison Ministry #breakin, a powerful way to reach inmates, even the ones on death row and reach not only them, but their families and children by being there for them and showing compassion
    (1st prize winner)
  2. Vibrant! Creative! Quality! Family Ministry, a very creative family ministry bringing bible stories to live in the events to bring to the community
    (3rd prize winner)
  3. Missional Small Groups, giving each small group the challenge to work on a mission or missions together
    (2nd prize winner)
  4. Coach Connect, bringing coaches to health evangelism
    (4th prize winner)
  5. The mission is possible, changing the way we reach the Hispanic community and generations through evangelistic outreach
    (5th prize winner)

Shark Tank Idea from NAD Ministerial Called Convention

Posting the information below from the NAD Ministerial website about this great idea. This is great, lets be creative, innovative and do more of this.

A huge highlight of the Called Ministerial Convention
in Austin is the Evangelism Shark Tank, which will take
place at 9:15 PM every night of the Convention.

…going back home to your family and church inspired and equipped to be a super Spouse, the best Parent, and the exceptional Pastor God created you to be.

…being re-empowered to live your life with the priorities of Jesus, showing His grace for humanity and His compassion for all creation daily, becoming His Eyes, Heart, Hands and Feet in your world.

…presenting one of the most creative and potentially effective outreach initiatives, during the Evangelism Shark Tank contest and earning one of the prizes, which will be given out every night of the Convention (1st Place: $20,000.00 – 2nd Place: $10,000.00 – 3rd Place: $5,000.00 – 4th Place: $3,000.00 – 5th Place: $2,000.00). These funds would be committed to assisting your church or your district in the implementation of your creative Evangelism initiative.

…a new beginning, hitting the reset button, with God’s promise “Be strong and of good courage, do not fear nor be afraid of them; for the Lord your God, He is the One who goes with you. He will not leave you nor forsake you.”

Can’t wait to see you in Austin!
