We are looking forward to “greater things” in 2016. Greater Things got off to a great start in 2015, but in 2016 we are taking things to the next level. We look forward to helping you build faith, answer a higher calling, and live a more abundant life. I wanted to share with you a couple of updates about things that are happening and plans for the coming months.
Now on Facebook
Greater Things is now on Facebook. You can “Like” our new page at facebook.com/philresslercom.
This is another way to share our message. We would love it if you would “Like” our page and also consider sharing some of our posts with your friends.
Memberships
Greater Things started as a ministry of Good Shepherd Lutheran Church of Old Bridge, NJ (the church where I serve as Pastor). But as of December 2015, I have personally taken over the expenses for this site. To help cover the costs of the website hosting and our mailing list, I have established memberships. There are both monthly and yearly membership options. There are currently no special benefits to being a membership, but in the next few weeks, I will be offering some special members-only content (such as a free eBook copy of 40 Things to Give up for Lent). If you have been encouraged by these posts and would like to help further this ministry, I would like to invite you to prayerfully consider becoming a member.
40 Things to Give up for Lent
It’s hard to believe that Lent is just over a month away. Ash Wednesday is February 10. In preparation for Lent, you can pick up your copy of 40 Things to Give up for Lent and Beyond at Amazon or Barnes & Noble. This is the book that served as the genesis for this site and got it all started.
Mailing List
You can sign up for our free mailing list. By signing up for our mailing list, you will receive an email in your inbox every time something is posted on Greater Things.
Online Courses
This Spring we will be looking to offer online discipleship courses. We will be sharing more info about this in the weeks to come. We are still working on the details of how these courses will work, but you will soon be able to sign up for these courses. Look for the an announcement coming soon.
Furthering Work in Haiti
One of the most significant ministry opportunities I have experienced in recent years is working in Haiti. Many of you have helped sponsor efforts through the Haitian Children’s Ministry – most recently purchasing bicycles for some very special children at the Timoun se Espwa Demen Orphanage. It is such a joy to see how such simple things make a positive difference. I envision continuing to leverage Greater Things in 2016 to help make a difference for God’s Kingdom in Haiti.
Thank you
Finally, thank you for following Greater Things Today. I am thankful for the opportunity that God gives for us to connect and to further his kingdom through the gift of technology. Thank you for your partnership in the gospel.
