Promoting The Next NEXT
Hello NEXT blog readers:),
Hope you all are getting excited for the conference. Paul and his team cannot be thanked enough for all that they are doing. In fact, you can always leave a comment on his last post to encourage and express your gratitude.
Here is a little twist on ways to promote NEXT. How about promoting NEXT in your heart. Yes that sounds a little cheesy, however we can begin preparing our hearts now for what the Lord has to teach us at the conference. Isn’t it exciting that God WANTS to bless us and reveal himself to us? In faith we can anticipate the good in store that the Lord has for us. So, in preparing our hearts, we can begin praying for the conference-asking the Lord to meet us and show us more of himself.
But why stop there-why not gather with the others in your church who are going to NEXT? In the past the NEXT “goers” here at Kingsway Community Church have gathered a couple times a month for lunch and then prayer. NEXT “wingdings” could be as simple as meeting at Chipotles to share what you desire to learn at the conference or gathering for a time to specifically pray for each other and the conference. Not only will this build closer relationships among NEXT “goers”, but it will serve to prepare our own hearts. So, drop a comment and let me know if you have done any sort of NEXT wingding in the past and how the Lord used those times.
Signing off for now with only 127 days until NEXT 2010!

Wow! I am getting ready to leave right now to meet with a girl I’m rooming with at Next to pray specifically for the conference and delve into the Word together. Nothing fancy, just a cup of coffee at her house and sweet fellowship with one another through the precious blood of our Lord Jesus Christ! Thanks for posting this…and for all the work you’re doing for His glory!
Thank you for the encouragement to pray for Next - which everyone can do, whether or not they plan to attend.
Unless the Lord builds the house, those who build it labor in vain. (Psalm 127:1)
“God WANTS to bless us and reveal himself to us…” I continue to be in awe of such a love. So amazing! What a God we get to know and serve. Can’t wait to see what He continues to do in my heart in May.
That is such a great idea; thanks for sharing!
Sarah-how cool is that! Katie-yes indeed!
What a great reminder, Tina! I believe the Lord would have us preparing NOW! To be interceding for everyone that will attend, including our own hearts!
