It’s Time To Publish!
Friends we have some exciting news!  After three years of hard work we have now surveyed over 3000 people from 25+ churches across ten different denominations and it is now time to publish our findings!  For the very first time we will be able to reveal to people what’s really happening in the homes of church attendees. 
Since we want to maintain the ability to update our findings as we take more people through the survey, we have decided to self-publish our research through a set of six books which will be available in a digital, print-on-demand way.   
Each book will showcase the attitudes, behaviors and desires of each group of church attendees as it relates to prayer, Bible reading, faith talk, community service, global missions and reading Christian resources at home.  The books will be available individually or as a set through a new faithlifeathome.org website that will be supported with an aggressive social media marketing strategy.

Will you help us publish our Faith Life @ Home findings?
Thank you for your faithful support of Faith@Home Ministries. 
Can you believe it’s been over twelve years since the Lord opened doors for us to publish our first book, Faith Begins At Home, which continues to be in print today along with nine other titles, and now WITH YOUR HELP we have an opportunity to publish six more books in 2018!
But before we get to that let me tell you a few exciting things that happened in 2018.
  • We formed a partnership with the North Carolina Baptists and led a six city, ten-day tour across the state of North Carolina that has led to 40-50 churches making commitments to develop faith at home initiatives!  Our work has only just begun as the goal is to get to 200+ churches in North Carolina over the next few years. 
  • We have developed 52 “Faith@Home Moments” which are sixty second radio spots that can be sponsored and played on Christian radio stations.  They have begun playing on our local Christian radio station 104.3 “The Pulse” and we have already received some great feedback.  If you are interested in having our “Faith@Home Moments” aired on your local Christian radio station, please contact us. 
  • Overall, this past year, we shared the faith at home message with over 10,000 church attendees, 3000 parents and 2500 grandparents. 
  • In 2018 we are looking to organize Faith@Home Tours in Canada and the upper northwest that may also include parts of the west coast.  
YOUR SUPPORT HAS HELPED TO MAKE ALL OF THIS HAPPEN!  Thank you. 
Now let’s focus on the amazing opportunity we have in 2018.  Pastors and church leaders are drawn to research and NO ONE HAS EVER SURVEYED FAITH LIFE IN THE HOME before now.  We have a chance to wake the church up to the reality of what is really happening in the homes of church attendees.   THIS IS GAME CHANGING INFORMATION that will enable us to “lead with research” and move the discipleship conversations to focus less on what’s happening at church and more about how we can truly help people live out their faith at home. 
WHY 6 BOOKS?
We want to start faith at home conversations in as many church “arenas” as possible.  Having books focused on the faith life of men, women, singles, seniors, parents and single parents will bring our findings into each of those ministry areas (men’s ministry, women’s ministry, etc.) in a way that will be easy for them to understand and benefit from.
WHY SELF PUBLISH?
This enables us to maintain control of the content and gives us more flexibility to update the information as the data will continue to change as more churches and people take the survey.  AND HERE’S THE BEST PART…the first six books will be the Faith Life @Home US set of findings which will be a template we can use to create a Faith Life @Home Canada, New Zealand, etc. set of books for those countries that choose to partner with us as well!
 
 
WHY IS FUNDING SUPPORT NEEDED?
Self-publishing will require a team of people working with us to edit, layout and design each of the books.  In addition to that, a critical component that goes with self-publishing is having a very strong website and social media marketing strategy that will get the word out about our findings and make it easy for people to purchase the resources.   Thankfully, through relationships we have formed, we have an editing and design team along with a website/social media company ready to help us at rates that are significantly lower than what they should be because they truly believe in Faith@Home Ministries and the work we are doing. 
So now that all leads me to ask you to prayerfully consider one thing…would you consider an end of year gift to Faith@Home Ministries to help us secure the funding we need to publish and promote a set of six Faith Life @Home findings books in 2018?  A $5000 gift enables you to have a book dedicated in your name, or in the name of a loved one which is something you may want to prayerfully consider as well. 
I remain convinced that the decline of Christianity in America today has less to do with what’s happening at church and more to do with what’s not happening in the homes of church attendees and now we have the research and findings to back up that claim!  Will you help us get that word out?
May the Lord continue to bless you.
