Greater love has no one than this, to lay down one's life for one's friends.
John 15:13

🎙️ We’re excited to share a powerful conversation between Gary Johnson, Executive Director of e2: effective elders, and Marc Estes, President/CEO/Founder of VisitorReach.com and author of The Road We Must Travel Again.

In this episode, Gary and Marc explore meaningful themes that challenge and inspire church leaders and believers alike:

✨ The deeper meaning of The Good Samaritan—and how God calls us to GO to our neighbors
✨ Rethinking who our “neighbor” truly is in today’s world
✨ The critical difference between the health of the church and the growth of the church

Marc also shares valuable insights on how technology is shaping the way people find and connect with churches, and how ministries can better meet people where they are. He also offers free assessments for church leaders looking to strengthen their outreach and impact.

This is a rich conversation filled with wisdom, practical guidance, and a renewed vision for serving others with purpose.

Our thanks to Pastor Joe and the Lead Team of NewLife Christian Church (Bella Vista AR) for a fantastic site visit! The Spirit of Jesus moved in and among all of you to create a three-year strategic plan! From great food to loads of laughter to deep conversations, the Lord truly did a great work in and through you. As you think forward, you continue to move the church forward. As NLCC always declares, God cares more about where you’re going than where you’ve been! Thanks for the partnership with e2.

🌍 Exciting Update from e2: effective elders!

We’re thrilled to share a major milestone in our mission to equip leaders around the world!

The Swahili translation of Answer His Call is making incredible progress. Recently, William Ngelela, an Elder from the Free Pentecost Church of Tanzania in Tabora, became the very first elder to receive and review a sample copy.

After carefully reading it, he confirmed that the translation is clear and free from written errors. With this positive feedback, we are now preparing to print the first 200 copies soon. This is an exciting step toward equipping Swahili-speaking elders with resources to grow in their calling.

A heartfelt thank you to Dioniz for his dedication and hard work on this project. 👏 We continue to pray for wisdom, focus, and momentum as we work toward translating even more books in the future.

Together, we are helping leaders answer His call—one language at a time. 🌱
