Comment on Christian “Stuff” by mikesaturday

I appreciate what you are saying but I’m not sure if I agree with you. I own both a brick and mortar Christian store as well as an online Christian store. Real fact, only 20% of those who clain to be a Christian have ever stepped foot into a Christian store.

Our purpose is evangelism (it’s a good thing I have another job because I couldn’t survive on what I make at the brick and mortar store). Whether it’s a t-shirt, a sweat shirt, flip-flops or tire guages, it’s about getting the word out. There are many ways to spread the gospel. We see golf balls with scripture verses on them. Could it be used? Ask God.

If every customer I have would spend $50.00 a month in my store, I would be a millionaire. I am only priceless in the eyes of God.

Thanks for the links. Good to read some stuff about college ministry. The stats from Stetzer were really interesting.

Befro,

Yep…and not only finding out what they are doing that is working, but actually joining with them in their cause.

That doesn’t necessarily apply to someone starting a new business or a new ministry…but it does work for us. There are TONS of GREAT things going on already on our campus. Instead of insisting that we do our own stuff, we are jumping in the game of what is already happening.

Hey friend… Agreed! Can’t tell you how many times I’ve heard “don’t reinvent the wheel” both in my work in the corporate world & right now in ministry. (Been spending most of my time here lately researching what others are doing in the internet cafe/coffee shop realm.) There are plenty of times when fresh creativity & new things are positive I think, but often I agree with finding out what others are already doing that works. Then seeing how that idea can fit in your situation, with what God is already at work doing.
