Dear Friend,

The Vital Churches Institute is a crowd-supported nonprofit. Once funded through my training ministry, we now rely entirely on your generous gifts to advance our mission—helping people grow in personal discipleship and strengthening congregational vitality.

Lee Zehmer and I are deep into developing the first Centered and Soaring training course, focused on the concept of "People Eyes." Our webmaster, James Trent of Secretariat, LLC, is building our online platforms. You can preview what's coming here: https://centeredandsoaring.netlify.app.

In addition to a dozen small-group training courses that we will be adding to the C &S website, we are also planning a website for Word-Share-Prayer Bible studies and a redesign of BuildingOneAnother.com, which will transform nearly 200 podcast episodes into short-term small-group studies.

We anticipate next year's expenses to exceed $24,000, and every gift helps us move further and faster toward these goals. Your support truly makes a difference.

P.S. Pastor Sam Shoemaker once summarized the Christian life with these words: “Get together, get changed, and get going!” Please get together with us in this ministry adventure—so that together, we might get changed and get going in the ways God leads.
