Share Labs!
by Rick Mitchell

Imagine if you will, what the folks in your community are looking for.
Most are looking for a good time, along with meaning for their lives. Now
imagine how your church can help them find both. As you think, are you
including recreation in your imagining?

That's right, recreation. Of course I mean Christ-centered recreation.
Recreation that is used as a ministry tool to reach lost and unchurched
folks in your community.

To be direct, the people in your community are not looking for another
sermon or Bible study. They are looking for fun and games. Well, give it
to them. Give them what they want-fun and games, so you can introduce the
to what they need, salvation in Jesus Christ.

But how do you get training in this type of ministry? SHARE LAB can help
you. Share Lab is a week-long conference designed to give the participants
opportunities to learn creative and innovative ways to reach people for
Christ and involve them in meaningful follow-up using sports, recreation,
and other methods.

Conference Center near Lynchburg, Virginia.
