Soularium Update - II
Soularium is taking France by storm! :) We have tested this tool locally with staff and students in Toulouse, France and has been great! There have been dozens of people mobilized to share their faith through initiative evangelism, discussion groups, and other ways that we are using it. Students have said that it gives them confidence because it is so easy to transition into spiritual conversations with people and they see that God can use them to share about Jesus with people! We shared our experience at our national conference over Christmas and now several cities have used or are planning to use Soularium as a method to engage students in conversation. Thanks!
More encouraging news. Third print run is now in production...

Soularium Update
One story from this week...
A co-worker's daughter (who is a university student) told her dad that this semester she has been using it and has seen 12 people come to Christ through it. She said that she's having the same types of conversations she has always done in evangelism but Soularium has opened doors like nothing else has done.
That is exciting!
BTW - the next production run becomes available in two weeks.

What Would Jesus Deconstruct?
http://www.christianitytoday.com/ct/2008/februaryweb-only/107-12.0.html
I find myself asking, what would Jesus deconstruct about 21st century evangelism?
Hmm...
Worth pondering.

CoJourner: The Ultimate Explorer Commercial
or this...
But now for the rest of the story...
It turns out that it takes a little more than a listening ear and a box of kleenex. It takes the prospect of $200 if your footage is used in the commercial -- as revealed by our friends at Greenpeace:
So, now I'm even more convinced (from observation and personal experience) that what it really takes is a listening ear and the genuine love of Christ in your heart.
(Kleenex commercials are another media image manipulation. Our witness should never be...)
But it does make me wonder, what would happen if we put a couch on a college campus coupled with a genuinely caring, listening ear? Anyone want to try and let me know what happens?
PS - I really like the song by Starrfadu: Let it Out
