I contributed to a book called, “Think Orange” by Reggie Joiner that just released last week. I have a lot of respect for Reggie and am writing a book with him right now that will be out next spring. If you don’t know, Reggie helped start NorthPoint Church outside Atlanta with Andy Stanley and now runs reThink. I, along with others like Donald Miller, Andy Stanley, and many others contributed thoughts to this. It proposes a strategy to connecting the church and family. It’s unique and insightful. In college ministry we have to understand how the family fits in with our ministry. This book can give you an overall picture that can be a great help to you!
Here’s a bit about the book…
“What if the primary mission of the church is not to help the family, and the number one priority of the family is not to go to church?
What if they are both designed to work together to show a generation who God is?
IT’S NOT EITHER / OR.
IT’S BOTH / AND.
Two combined influences can make a greater impact than just two influences. The church leaders who think Orange make radical changes so they can…
• Engage parents in an integrated strategy
• Synchronize the home and church around a clear message
• Provoke parents and kids to fight for their relationship with each other
• Recruit mentors to become partners with families
• Mobilize the next generation to be the church
When you think Orange, you rethink the way you do ministry for children and teenagers.”
