Present Testimony Ministry Newsletter Journeying in the Revolution August 2008: Important News from Frank Contents * News from Frank Important: Please turn your spam filter off for the email address - ptmnewsletter@hotmail.com - so that our monthly newsletters won't get blocked. Important News from Frank As I wrote in our last newsletter, I'm amazed at what God has done during the first half of this year. It looks like REIMAGINING CHURCH is off to a great start. As a result of our July newsletter, we have gotten bombarded with orders. I'm very encouraged by the interest in this title, and I look forward to your feedback after reading it. One book reviewer who has read all of my books said that REIMAGINING is my best book to date. I hope he's right :-) After you read the book, please write us an email to PTMIN@aol.com and tell us what you thought about it. A sample chapter and discount prices are available at www.ReimaginingChurch.org The book is also available on Amazon.com should you wish to order it from them. For those of you who don't like ordering online, it will be in Family Christian Stores and Barnes & Nobles the first week of August. I hope to see many of you at the 2008 National House Church Conference in Dallas, Texas. The dates are August 29 to 31. I'll be speaking in the main session along with Paul Young (author of "The Shack"), Wolfgang Simpson, Tony and Felicity Dale, John White and other great speakers. There will also be a number of tracks that I'll be doing with Paul Young and some others. Register here If you are looking for an organic church in your town, go to http://www.housechurchresource.org/findorganicchurch.html and fill out the form. You may also find the article FINDING ORGANIC CHURCH to be of help. George Barna and I recently did a new interview. Check it out at http://ptmin.org/barna_viola.pdf Due to some gentle arm-twisting from friends (you know who you are!), I've started a blog. You can check it out at http://frankviola.wordpress.com/ If you have a blog or website, please add a link to it. There's also a feed on it (if you're blogger savvy, you know what that is.) We have often been asked when GATHERING IN HOMES: Volume 2 will be released. Volume 2 is actually an audio CD called "Having Open Meetings & Building Community." We do not plan on creating a booklet out of it. You can order the CD at www.ptmin.org/audiocd.htm Finally, and most important, I have a prayer request. Gary Welter is a close friend and co-worker of mine. His wife, Marietta, a precious sister in the Lord has recently been diagnosed with Leukemia. She will be needing a bone marrow transplant soon. Your prayers are appreciated. To read more about her situation and how you can help in other ways, go here: http://therebuilders.org/mariettawellness.html Thank you. I hope to see many of you in Dallas! Your brother, Frank p.s. If you have a BLOG, please write us and include your blog url. We would like to visit the blogs of those who are on our mailing list.

www.ptmin.org/bethany.pdf Are You Between 21 and 35 Years Old? Back in September of 2007 and in our July 2008 newsletter, we asked all of our readers who are between 21 and 35 to email us with some basic information. Since that time, our mailing list has almost doubled. So if you are in that age range, and haven't already responded, please take the time to do the following: Write an email to me (Jeanette) at PTMIN@aol.com and include the following information. Your first and last name: Your age: Your sex: Your city and state: (if you live outside the USA, please state the country). If you meet in a house church, please share a little bit about it: We will be sending out a special mail-out to this age group in the future. Again, if you've already done this last year, don't do it again. But if you haven't, we'd love to hear from you!
Regards, If You Ordered a Book, But Haven't Received It Just a note that if you complete an order for our materials, you will always receive an EMAIL RECEIPT. If you don't receive an email receipt, it means you didn't complete your order and you will have to re-order. Please read the ordering instructions at the bottom of www.paganchristianity.org or www.reimaginingchurch.org carefully.
