Outside The Box Ministry Is Back Up

Thank you for your patience if you have experienced any problems with the website over the past few weeks.

I have had a bad experience with the webshosting that I was using. Their server kept doing strange things and then somone got into their server and released a virus through iframes on the index pages. I have moved to a new host and pray that I don’t have any more problems.

Reaching the Twentysomethings

Doug — Wed, 25 Oct 2006 01:39:10 +0000

A new report from The Barna Group discusses how the twentysomthings are putting Christianity on the shelf. In fact, the data shows that 61 percent of these young adults were attending church in their teens, but are no longer actively attending church, reading their Bible or praying.

God has been putting a great burden on my heart over the last few months for this generation. In the next few posts, I will show creative ways that churches and individuals are impacting the lives of men and women in their twenty’s.

My Church 2.0

Doug — Fri, 22 Sep 2006 02:54:04 +0000

MyChurch.org is a brand new social network website for your church.Â It is not just a “My Space” for your church, but also a way for members in your church to connect with each other and those outside your church.Â MyChurch is not meant to replace a churches main website, but it is a good compliment to it.Â They have no plans to run ads on the website.Â Churches can pay a small fee to upgrade the amount of disc space for their church.Â MyChurch.org is still in beta, but the team there has done a good job with the initial launch.
