(The latter site is designed to help you learn to use media to accelerate disciple making movements. The U4theU site is designed to help you pull together a network or project to stick with that vision over the long haul. Both are stellar.) But what resource(s) would you recommend? Please click “Comment” after this item on the web. Thanks for your help!

We wonder how it is different from CIT, MTI, or TRAIN International? Could you tell us what distinguished it in your mind and what was your experience? I guess they’ve only done a half dozen or so trainings so far, so they’re still pretty new, but what was your experience? Just click “Comment” following this item on the web. Thanks for any input you can give.

Our I.T. guy has said good things about the people at Techsoup before. So it seems they wouldn’t make this up. Can anyone comment on the reality of this? Am I understanding it correctly: That ending “Net Neutrality” would mean that websites could throttle a non-profit user while speeding along a higher-budget user? If this is the case, yikes — should we do something? On the other hand, does it matter? See the article at…

Either way, it appears the window for comments is only open until August 17th. So if you see the myriad of announcements asking for input and you circulate those announcements for the next 40 years, please keep in mind, you’ll be burning up the net for nothing. Remember our suggestions about this sort of thing: Make sure there’s a clear purpose for the campaign and find out how long it lasts before trying to stir up more participation. Verifiable origin, purpose and closure.

You can hear him explain the study while looking at the PDF. Wow. We just want to soak up EVERYTHING this guy said. And the amazing part is — it’s all free.

Are there directories for places like these? Surely there are some properties that have gone on record saying they’d prefer to host groups of strong Christian believers (because our teams won’t get drunk and tear up their stuff!). Or maybe there’s a directory of Christian properties at which an owner or manager have said they’d offer serious discounts to cross-cultural workers? If you have such an idea, please click “Comment” following the web version of this item. Thanks !!!

Or do you simply keep leading the person(s) through Discovery Bible Studies (DBSes) or three-thirds groups, as some people call them? For example, see the topics/scriptures for future three-thirds groups in the back of the Guidebook, here…

What’s your typical approach and how are you liking it? How’s it working? We ask because — it’s become a bit of a crunch point for certain disciple makers. Some have said, “How can disciple making movements ever grow deep disciples without a seminary or curriculum or Bible college? What’s your take on it all?
