TTP in Edmonton, Canada

We’re in Canada again!

Job 26:7 says, “He spreads out the northern skies over empty space; he suspends the earth over nothing.”  When we walked out of our hotel this morning the Lord had once again “spread out the northern skies.”  This picture does not capture the full majesty and splendor of the morning sky…it was magnificent!  As we drove to the church the northern sky was a very visible reminder of God’s present and active role in our every day activities.

That’s right, we’ve traveled across the border once again to share The Truth Project with our northern neighbors.  Sounds exciting, eh?  Sure is…just like the Toronto conference two weeks ago, our Edmonton event today is sold out!  We’ve crammed about 820 into the sanctuary at North Pointe Community Church in Edmonton, Alberta.

Although it is a little cold outside, we have been welcomed very warmly by the Focus Canada staff and all the conference attendees we’ve met.

Thank you for your continued prayers and encouragement.  We received an incredible email this week from a student named Jimmy who was at our Missouri event last weekend.  It is always a blessing to our team when you write in and share with us how the Lord is working in your life.

We look forward to hearing from you if you are at our event today in Edmonton.  We pray that the Lord has begun a mighty work in your heart and mind…today may be the beginning of an amazing journey for you!

Satellite Simulcast Training in 2008!

Be a Truth Champion

You and I are engaged in a cosmic battle -- a battle that is raging for the hearts and minds of people the world over, pitting the truth claims of God against the lies of the world, the flesh and the devil. It is a battle over what you truly believe.

If your heart is heavy from what you see daily in our culture and you long for a spiritual revival within the church, we'd love for you to consider partnering with and representing Focus on the Family for our first ever nationwide LIVE Truth Project Simulcast Training Event on Saturday, September 27, 2008.

In this powerful and interactive one-day training taught by Dr. Del Tackett, participants in your church will be thoroughly prepared to make a Christ-centered difference on culture by applying God's principles to daily life, and specifically to be trained to lead their own small group following the conference.

Participants in the live Training Event will receive the complete 12-lesson Truth Project Curriculum on DVD and access to The Truth Project Learning Support Web site.

Be a Truth Champion for
Your church and your community.

TTP in Branson, MO

Thank you College of the Ozarks!

This past weekend, our team was blessed to deliver a training on the campus of College of the Ozarks in Branson, Missouri.  The students, staff and faculty welcomed us with open arms and provided a great venue to bring The Truth Project to Southwest Missouri.  Over 450 people joined us from over 12 states, with 200 students attending from College of the Ozarks.

We are now off to Edmonton, Alberta, Canada.  We ask for your prayer support as we travel north this coming weekend!

The Truth Project Team

TTP In Toronto

Over 600 attendees joined us this past weekend in Toronto, Canada for the launch of The Truth Project in Canada.  Our team was blessed by the warm welcome and the humble hearts of all those who attended the training conference.  We are thankful for our friends and partners, Focus on the Family Canada, for hosting the event and allowing us to bring this curriculum to our friends and to the Body of Christ in Canada.

We continue to pray that the Lord will bless our efforts and that He will raise up a generation of Christ followers in Canada that will take the Truth of Christ into their individual spheres of influence. 

Our team made it through customs and back home today, though one of us was flagged on the "do not fly list" and almost missed our flight!  Thank you to all our new friends in Canada, may the Lord bless you and keep you in His will.

Louisville Testimonies

Our team returned from Louisville on Sunday afternoon, and are already hearing from many of you that the Lord has indeed blessed our time this weekend and is preparing to bring about a great change in your respective communities.  Thank you for sharing with us!  We love hearing what God is doing through The Truth Project

Here are a few testimonies from what God is doing through you.

Enjoy!

“From the moment I arrived in Louisville, I was surprised:  surprised that I was remarkably calm though I left my directions to Highview Baptist Church in my office; surprised by the number of people arriving at the conference (hmmm, must be another function here tonight ~ I was expecting 50 to 150 people); surprised that I did not hear more of a fact-filled college-styled lecture of the history and impact of worldviews and how to counter-attack it with 'our own' facts; and, finally surprised that, as we spent that time 'gazing on the face of God' through his revealed Word, many gaps were filled in, foundations were made firmer, the Spirit moved and your vision became my vision.  My wife and I will be praying for the next two months to prepare and to learn who God has chosen to join our small group for his glory.”

 

 

“I am so excited about this whole thing, I can't tell you.  Well, Dr. Tackett and Truth Project Team, thank you for your prayers and teaching.  In less than 48 hours after leaving the Conference I am seeing new fruit after years of prayer.  Please pray for me that I might be winsome and anointed by the Spirit of Truth as I prepare to speak to 100 to 200 of God's image-bearers over the MLK weekend in January.  My spouse, Sally and I will be praying as well about who the Lord wants to join our small group in the New Year when we start our first small group.”

 

“I just returned from the

Louisville

conference. 

Del

talked about being transformed, and I have to admit that while at the conference I wasn't feeling it.  But I brought a DVD player in my car, and in the 750 mile drive home I listened to 10 of the 12 lessons.  Wow!  I am a physician, and yesterday I had a patient with "Born a Loser" tattoed on his chest.  I listened for the sphere that was broken (family) and told him that God held him in high regard, because he created him and even sent Jesus to rescue him (the significance issue addressed in the lessons).”

Thanks again for joining us this past weekend, we'll see you online at the Small Group Support Site!

Have a great Day

Local Training Today in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania

I’m writing today’s entry from the first pew of Christ’s Church at Grove Farm just outside of Pittsburgh , Pennsylvania.

Today we are beginning a new training model with our very first local training conference.  We are excited that over 200 people joined us here today.  We ask that you would lift our team up in prayer as we train local partners with The Truth Project DVD curriculum.

We also would ask you to lift up all the leaders who have come today.  We are excited that 6 hours from now, everyone here will be equipped to take this tool into their churches and communities.

We’ll give you an update later on how the Lord was at work here today!
