			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong>Missouri Is Happening</strong></p>
<p>I just got back from a trip to Missouri – I was in Springfield and Columbia. The kingdom is alive and well in both places. People are excited about extending the kingdom in big ways. I am thrilled to be included in what the Father is doing these days. I grew up in Kansas – in the Wichita area. I was inclined to think that the people who live in Missouri – and who follow Missouri sports teams especially – were a little off kilter. Such categorical thinking goes with the territory of growing about anywhere I guess.</p>
<p>Today God is on the move in a big way in good ‘ol Missouri. It is exciting to meet people who have been persevering in serving, praying and connecting with their community. I mentioned during one talk that I have planted several churches and, “who knows, maybe I will end up here in Missouri one day.” Four people came up to me after I finished talking to further inquire about my church planting plans. I was making a comment in passing, but it certainly was encouraging to hear the hearts of a number of people who are looking for cool spiritual things to happen in the Show Me State.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>VIDEO WALKTHROUGH<br />
We just posted over at <a href="http://www.servecoach.com/">ServeCoach.com</a> a video walkthrough of the new website that is going LIVE tomorrow, May 6th! This 8 minute video will show you exactly what you get with a ServeCoach.com membership. Head over there right now and watch this video:</p>
<p><a href="http://www.servecoach.com/">ServeCoach.com</a></p>
<p>LAUNCH UPDATE</p>
<p>ServeCoach.com goes LIVE tomorrow at 4 PM Eastern / 1 PM Pacific. I&#8217;ll be sitting down with Lance Ford, from Shapevine.com, to answer several last-minute questions and explain some important aspects of this training. Make sure you&#8217;re on this webcast with me tomorrow at 3PM Eastern / 12 PM Pacific! The webcast will be live at <a href="http://www.servecoach.com/">ServeCoach.com</a>. Immediately following the webcast, <a href="http://www.servecoach.com/">ServeCoach.com</a> will go live.</p>
<p>BONUSES</p>
<p><strong>Fast Mover Bonus #1 &#8211; First 50 Only</strong></p>
<p>Ok, this is a biggie&#8230;</p>
<p>For the first 50 people who join ServeCoach.com, I will schedule a one-on-one strategy session where we can discuss your ideas and how you should proceed.</p>
<p>And if you don&#8217;t think we can get much accomplished in 30-minutes, think again!</p>
<p>Prior to our first call, you&#8217;ll fill out an information sheet where you&#8217;ll give me all the details about your ministry. (NOTE: You&#8217;ll find the mere act of filling out this info sheet to be valuable all by itself.) This way I&#8217;ll be able to prepare for our call ahead of time and fully maximize the time that we have.</p>
<p>Value: Priceless</p>
<p><strong>Fast Mover Bonus #2 &#8211; First 500 Only </strong></p>
<p>When we were cleaning out the vault we found my original presentation on servant evangelism on the church satellite network. Though the clothes and hairstyles of the audience will have you laughing, the content has never been needed more. It&#8217;s just as appropriate for you doing ministry in 2009, as it was fifteen years ago in 1994.</p>
<p>This 3 hour training seminar has been broken down into 6 lessons and includes PDF notes for you to download, print out, and fill out as you watch the videos.</p>
<p>Value: $99</p>
<p>OK, now you know about the bonuses being offered, so make sure you&#8217;re ready for the launch tomorrow at 4 PM Eastern / 1 PM Pacific!</p>
<p>Steve</p>
<p>P.S. &#8211; We have a large number of people on our list, visiting the blog, and leaving comments. All of this has come without much &#8220;publicity&#8221; &#8211; this is all from our own internal list.</p>
<p>I have no way of knowing how many people will register for ServeCoach.com, but I DO know that the first bonus will go very fast.</p>
<p>So if you want to grab one of those spots, then be ready tomorrow when we open.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Mike Slaughter shares his heart as it relates to over 30 years of solid ministry at Ginghamsburg Church at Tipp City (Dayton), Ohio. Slaughter reflects upon how his initial church growth strategy misfired. He had to get a vision from on high.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.servecoachblog.com/church-leadership/the-mike-slaughter-interview/">The Mike Slaughter Interview </a></p>
<p>His pathway has been marked by moderate but consistent growth ever since. That same growth has been repeated year after year as he has sought to disciple small numbers of people in his span of care &#8211; never more than a dozen people at a time though. Hear how that simple approach to outward care continues to transform the lives of his leaders and his city today.</p>
<p>He shares thoughts on the makings of the church that is destined for outwardness that leads to health. It is an exciting perspective that will lift your heart and mind.</p>
