I think intercessory prayer is one of the greates neglected ministries of the church today.  Prayer connects people to the fellowship and the power of God. Yet we often totally ignore it.

KW will be handing these out wherever we go in the near future.  They are magnets, so they can stick on refrigerators across Maineville, making the people at KW available to potentially minister and bless people.

“The number one enemy of Christian Spiritual formation today is exhaustion.” -James Bryan Smith, “The Good and Beautiful God”

5 of us headed down to the Gulf to work with Habitat for Humanity.  Still unbeleivable how much hurricane Katrina still impacts the region.  Love trips like this because its evidence of KW pursuing it’s vision to be “sent.”  Some pics.  (Planning a shorter trip to South East Kentucky– stay tuned for details)

New Series at KingsWay starting this sunday.  Here’s the tag:

David was a humble shepherd, gifted song-writer, brilliant military leader, passionate worshipper of God, ancestor of Jesus, and King of Israel during its “golden years.” His life was also spotted by multiple failures: adultery, murder, betrayal and other moments of disobedience to God.  Yet despite such character flaws, God called him “a man after my own heart.”  Such a phrase gives us hope.  Discover how we, like David, can grow and pursue godliness despite our spotted hearts.

Part of our vision at Kingsway is to be “Sent” into the community to serve and bless.  A good percentage of students at the school we meet in (South Lebanon Elementary School) are on free or reduced lunch.  So… perhaps getting adequate school supplies might be a struggle for these students, too? Perhaps Kingsway can help with that–

To donate supplies, email info (at) mykingsway (dot) net.  To register your child, click the picture above. (Priority will be given to SLE students)

We officially started “one prayer,” a partnership with churches around the world, uniting to celebrate one God and one faith. This year’s theme?  “Unstoppable _________.”  How would you fill in that blank?

Last sunday, we talked about “Unstoppable Provision” using 2 Kings 4:1-7 as our text.  What a crazy, amazing story– God kept the oil flowing and flowing and flowing, creating great provision for her and her family. (fyi–this message had nothing to do with BP and the gulf coast).  Read that story and celebrate the “unstoppable provision” found in God.

Message lineup:
June 13:  Chris Hodges (Church of the Highlands): “Unstoppable “Focus”
June 20: Me:  Unstoppable Fatherhood
June 27: Steven Furtick (Elevation Church): “Unstoppable Power”

Three week you won’t want to miss….

We’re almost there, gang.  88 days into our 90 day tithe challenge.  Check out this video testimony from sometime who has tithed a long time…

We’re in the middle of our 1K Invitation Challenge. Our goals is to give away 1,ooo invitations to people over the course of the summer.  Off to a great start-We’re at 30% of our goal already!  Each week, we’ll share unique and creative ways to give those cards out– and share ways how NOT to give those cards out. Here’s how NOT to:

Better idea tip #1:When going through a drive through, pay for the person’s meal behind you.  Ask the cashier to give the person in back of you the invite card and that you wanted to let them know that God loves them.

Better idea tip #2: leave a Generous tip at each restaraunt you go to along with the invite card. (Don’t do this if you dont’ tip well)

We’re nearing the end of the Tithe Challenge.  We’re at Day 74! During this process, we’ve captures people’s stories about their experience tithing–some for the first time–some are long time tithers.  If you missed last week’s Tithe Challenge Interview, check it out here.  (Sorry– still can’t embed vimeo video yet).

KW had the opportunity to totally bless people this past weekend.  Hosted a FREE rummage sale—although we didn’t tell people it was free until they came to pay for everything.  So much fun doing this….
