To All Members Of MinistryHub.com

Hello,

This is Tim Yates, President of MinistryHub.com. First let me begin by thanking you for signing up and giving MinistryHub.com a try. As I'm sure you've noticed we are a new site, and although we are gaining new members daily, in all honesty, the amount of topic data within the site can be scarce at times. That is why I am writing to you tonight. One of the great benefits of MinistryHub.com is that it allows us to begin to work together in our weekly search for service ideas like never before. I believe that if we network together, we will then see the tremendous advantage that being a member of MinistryHub.com can bring.

In order for us to continue to serve you and your ministry, as well as the many who will follow you in searching for ideas in Ministry Hub, we need your help. If you would, please respond back to this email and let me know what topics you and your church will be researching in the coming weeks or months. I will then compile a list of these HOT topics and then share this list with you, our current membership. Once we send out the list, please take time to review it. We then ask that you help your fellow members by sharing with them what service elements you might have done in the past that has worked for a particular topic. You also need to know that within the past two weeks we have launched new Public rooms that makes the entire process of brainstorming and suggesting ideas even more simple. To gain access to the database of ideas or what we call "The Results" all you need to do is select your topic, enter a Public room and then share two items that have worked for you in the past. We believe that if everyone who participates would share at least two items, the database will continue to grow and we will all benefit from this information.

So please consider what topics you have coming soon and please respond back to this email (tim@ministryhub.com) and let us know the topics you will be needing ideas for.

If you have never heard my story, the idea for MinistryHub.com came from an extremely frustrating week while trying to programming a series for my home church. I remember thinking there has got to be a better way? How could, we as church workers, begin to work together? After many, many months of programming and design I am so excited to see how God has begun to bring this small idea full circle. We, as the body, can make this happen. I say this to encourage you and let you know that I truly believe that you are on the forefront of developing a ministry tool like no other. Just imagine, with every idea that you suggest, you can bless and encourage Pastor's more than you will ever be able to comprehend! What a great age we live in to serve Christ!

I look forward to hearing from all of you as we look for upcoming topics that we can begin to work together on. As always feel free to write and give me any feedback or comments you wish. I pray that God will continue to bless you in your ministry as you bring Christ in a new and real way each and every week.


In Christ,

Tim Yates, President
