New Web Site Launched

                    

Dear Truth Project Supporter,

            

Greetings from The Truth Project!

            

We want you to know that The Truth Project team has just launched a newly redesigned Small Group Support Site, made specifically with leaders and participants of The Truth Project in mind. This site will provide all the materials you already have access to, such as Lesson Guides, articles, message boards, etc., plus additional functionality to further enhance your small group experience.

            

New GroupsThe new SSGS site, MyTruthProject, went live just prior to this weekend's Simulcast (which broadcast to more than 30,000 people, and was a great success!). The site can be reached through a Log In link on the updated Truth Project website (shown, right). We are asking you to create a new registration and password using our login page to access the new site. Over the next couple of weeks, we will transition away from the old Small Group Support Site and the old TTP Discussion Forum.

                     

If you have a small group running, or if you plan to start one, you can enter your data into our new automated system, which will allow leaders to communicate schedules and announcements to members, and will give those members access to all the Small Group Support Site content. If you have not yet been through a Truth Project small group experience, we encourage you to use the searchable database to find a group near you! You can also direct friends to the MyTruthProject site, and they can search for groups without even having to register first!

      

The Truth Project Discussion Forum has changed, too. If you haven't seen it before, it offers not only a place where you can discuss the concepts presented in The Truth Project program, but also allows leaders to share ideas between themselves, and to encourage prospective leaders, help them know what they may face, and how to prepare! Members who have used the old Truth Project Forum need to know the new Forum is currently moderated, but messages should be posted within a reasonable amount of time so that discussions can continue freely (also remember that you will need to re-register on the new Forum — your old registration will not work, nor will your registration from the new SGSS, which is on a separate site). We encourage you to take a look at the new Forum, and begin adding to the conversation, even as we continue an ongoing process of transferring your favorite, informative discussion threads from the old Forum.

            

If you experience any problems (especially if it appears to be a bug in our new system), please tell us by calling 1-800-A-FAMILY, or clicking on the Contact link.

            

We appreciate your help with this new website, which should enable The Truth Project to grow and strengthen even more Christians with knowledge of the Truth of God's Word!

            

If you know others who might like to either join a new group, or begin teaching one, please forward this e-mail to them (using the link to the right) so they can use the searchable database!

            

Thank you, and God bless your efforts!

         

The Truth Project Team

Simulcast LIVE from Colorado Springs

Img_6402

We are excited about The Truth Project training conference occurring today at Focus on the Family. As I walked into the building this morning, I sensed the familiar buzz in the air as people made their way to their seats.  And, when the introductory video began to play initiating the start of the conference—all of you who have attended know exactly the moment I am talking about—I thought, “What an amazing thing it is, to partner with others with this tool, The Truth Project.”  Img_6408

But today is different than any other training event that we’ve conducted over the past 28 months. 

Along with the training here at Focus on the Family, 328 other sites—scattered across the U.S., Canada, and the Caribbean—are also hosting The Truth Project training through the satellite signal that is emanating from Colorado Springs through our partnership with CCN (Church Communication Network).Img_6401

In fact, across these 328 host sites there are approximately 30,000 people being trained to lead The Truth Project small groups today, right now.

Consider this: in one day we are training the same number of people that we have trained in the 28 months leading up to this day, to date over 30,000 facilitators.

Wow, hasn’t the Lord done an amazing thing?  Join us in giving thanks for the good work He is doing in our time. Img_6406

Training in Philadelphia, PA today

3_2

This weekend we are in Glen Mills, PA, just outside of Philadelphia. 

6_2 We have about 450 attendees from 21 different states including one couple from Seattle, Washington.  Traveling 2,800 miles I think they win the award this weekend for furthest traveled.

5_2 We also have 20 students from Drexel University…we are always excited to see a strong student presence at our conferences.  May you return to campus encouraged to stand strong in your faith.

Covfel_logo_black We want to thank Covenant Fellowship Church for their warm welcome to our team and all our visitors. The humidity is very different than we are used to in Colorado, but it is always a joy to meet with brothers and sisters around this great country.1_3


We would ask you to pray for all those in attendance today.  That the Lord would begin a mighty work in the hearts and minds of these leaders.

For all you who have joined us here today, we want to welcome you to this adventure.  We pray that the Lord will equip and lead you as you take the Truth Project back to your churches and communities.

Truth Project Arabic Edition

Wow! Dr. Tackett and I had a chance to view a preview of The Truth Project Arabic Edition on Wednesday night and we were amazed at how our Egyptian team managed the process of translating TTP into Arabic.  It is humbling to know that God's truth claims will be spread throughout the Middle East by our Egyptian office and their trained staff.

Dr. Tackett will be in Egypt during the month of September, when The Truth Project will officially launch in the Middle East!  Praise God!

Please pray for protection for our brothers and sisters in Christ that are laboring alongside us in Cairo, and pray that the Lord will bless this effort in such a hostile environment.

Seeing the Truth Compass in Arabic brought chills to my arms, who knows what the Lord might do through this!

Soli Deo Gloria,

The Truth Project Team

Houston, TX Training Today!

Img_4539

This weekend we are in Houston, TX with over 400 attendees from 16 different states including a couple leaders from Alaska...let me repeat that…we are in Houston Texas and we have a couple here from Wasilla, Alaska…by my calculations they win the “furthest traveled” award coming nearly 4,500 miles!  WOW!

Img_4551
We are thankful for First Presbyterian Church of Houston who has opened their beautiful facility to us.  We are in a unique, multifunctional room that serves as a gymnasium, auditorium for school productions, and Sunday morning church service.

Img_4543

Please pray that the Lord would move in the hearts and minds of those leaders here today and that the leaders would feel confident and equipped to lead a Truth Project small group in their home.

Img_4561

For all of you who are with us here in Houston with us, we are excited that you have chosen to join us on this amazing journey.  We hope and pray you are deeply blessed as you return home to your different communities and churches around this great state and the rest our the country.
