Harvest Unlimited
Harvest Unlimited provides a systematic approach to outreach and church growth, working with local churches to identify, reach, invite, and pray for thousands of un-churched families living within a few miles of their churches.Harvest partners with churches to reach their un-churched neighbors by setting up “call centers” within the church. Church members call “neighbors” to ask how they might be able to pray for their families and to invite them to church on a designated “Harvest Sunday.”
Harvest provides the leadership, training, resources, and project management to members of the church to conduct the entire outreach. They offer a more effective approach to reaching the un-churched that is yielding much higher results than traditional marketing and outreach.
If you are a church pastor or leader and are looking for a proven technique to grow your church while reaching out to your communities this is an organization you should talk to.
Ed Cole Library
The Ed Cole® Library has been called to preserve, protect and perpetuate a ministry, founded by Dr. Edwin Louis Cole (founder of the previously mentioned Christian Men’s Network), majoring in men to declare a standard that “Manhood and Christlikeness are synonymous.”After the death of Dr. Cole, the family felt it was important to continue the legacy of Dr. Cole by digitizing Dr. Cole’s library of writings, notes, thoughts, journals and sermon outlines (some in his own handwriting) and making them available to the public.
This is a great study tool for anyone but most importantly for any Pastor or minister actively involved in discipling men.
Christian Men's Network (CMN)
The Christian Men’s Network was started by Edwin Louis Cole out of a call from God that the church needed to raise up its men. After writing the book, Maximized Manhood, the modern day mens movement was started. “Being a male is a matter of birth, being a man is a matter of choice” , became the battle cry of the ministry. Now over 30 years later, Dr. Cole is gone but his ministry is still alive. It is so important that pastors raise up the men in the church. The Christian Men’s Network (CMN) , now led by Dr. Cole’s son Paul Louis Cole, is a great resource for pastors in order to disciple men. CMN has a collection of discipleship materials, the best of which is a curriculum based on the writings of Dr. Cole. Not only do they have discipleship materials to use, they are more then happy to coach you in the best way to start a mens ministry in your church. There are plenty of mens ministries out there, no one better then the other. But if you are interested in starting a mens ministry in your church, why not start with the ministry that started it all.LifeChurch.tv
