Help us reach the Dones!

December 9, 2015



The need of the hour.  We live in a time of remarkable spiritual change in America. Recent research has uncovered the fact that 65 million adults are "done" with church. These people were once part of a church but have now left (and are not going back!). In many cases, these folks were leaders - elders, pastors, Sunday School teachers, etc.  This is a stunning statistic!!!

An amazing opportunity.  While in some ways, the story of the Dones is a great tragedy, it also represents an amazing opportunity. The reason is that a great many of these people are not done with God. They left church because they felt in their spirit that "something was missing" and that church was supposed to be more than what they had experienced.

LK10's unique position.  The LK10 Community is in a unique position to help the Dones discover a new and life-giving way of doing/being church.  We have a proven track record, having already trained more than 2500 people how to start "vibrant families of Jesus" through our Church 101 Course .  

Extraordinary recent developments. Ordinarily, we receive 10-15 requests for Church 101 each month.  However, just in the last month, something extraordinary has occurred.  One of my blog posts  ("Why I broke down in tears at The Future of the Church Summit") has literally gone viral.  It has now been watched and "shared" over 25,000 times (and the number is growing!).  (Here's one location that records the "shares".)  As a result, we have received over 150 requests for Church 101 in just the last month!  God is bringing the Dones to us!  

Partner with us.  To be faithful to the remarkable flood of hungry people the Lord is sending to us we need your prayer, your help in following up and your financial support.

Our monthly budget is $5285.  But, our monthly income is only $3500.  We need your help!  If you have benefitted from LK10's ministry and if you believe in our vision, please ask the Lord about making one or both of the following...  

• A monthly financial commitment to LK10 (or an increase in your current commitment) 
• A one time, end-of-the-year contribution to help make up our deficit.  

Newsflash!  Just this week, a couple, who has been long time supporters of LK10, wrote me this email:  We would like to make available up to $1000 per month in matching funds to new monthly commitments/donations made by the end of this year for LK10.  

Wow!  What a great gift!  So, if you are planning on make a monthly commitment to LK10 or on increasing your current comment, please email me and let me know so I can inform this couple.  Click here to reply.

Thank you!
