U-Turn Ministries

01/22/2019

Last weekend, we had the privilege of helping two churches in Iowa who are considering the idea of doing an "enfolding." (Where one church is enfolded into the other and ministry is done at both locations.) This is a beautiful picture of one of the churches, and the picture doesn't do it justice.

Monday, U-Turn Ministries had the opportunity to travel into America's Heartland in order to share Faith Church stories about church partnerships and the enfolding of churches with two churches who are looking into how they can be better together. It was a true privilege to be invited into the conversation!

Did you know that U-Turn Ministries has two branches? One helps turn around churches, the other to turn around marriages. For Church help, contact us here. For marriages, see our Ravines page: https://www.facebook.com/theravines/

A place for hurting couples to seek healing and counsel, instilling hope for their future. And a place for healthy marriages to grow deeper and stronger.

Thanks for all who prayed for Mayfair Church and their relaunch today. Here is what God did:

We had a great service! 175 in attendance (we were averaging about 100 last Spring), some churched friends/family coming out in support and some neighbors and friends that don’t have a church home!!! We had one couple check the box “I committed my life to Christ today.” Very exciting and encouraging. A great day of celebration for what God has done in bringing Mayfair through this transition.

At least, 5 visitors told me the sermon spoke to them and that they were encouraged by our testimony of God bringing us through transition.

Praise the Lord!

This morning's U-Turn Board Meeting was a blessing! Great update on what God is doing to repair marriages at The Ravines, how He is reviving churches through our consulting ministry, and plans underway for our next conference in February, 2017. Thankful for our faithful Board members!

We say that we want to reach people, but are our churches ready? Here are some great insights from Carey Nieuwhof: http://careynieuwhof.com/2013/04/9-signs-your-church-is-ready-to-reach-unchurched-people/

Almost every church I know says they want to reach unchurched people. But few are actually doing it. Part of the problem stems from the fact that many churches don’t really understand unchurched people (here’s a post on 15 characteristics of today’s unchurched person). And part of the problem is t…
