What's Up in the Sticks, May.2010.
Yes, we have been on hiatus for awhile, but remember that we all do this on the side, and we are busy planting/revitalizing churches, campuses and other craziness in small towns and hard to reach places that nobody knows about!
For those of you who are doing ministry where no one else wants to...we know what it's like! Here are some updates for May:
1. Our new site/blog/conference details will be off the hook in June. It's our official roll-out. We desire the new blog to be a place of networking and resourcing those who are in small towns and hard to reach places. Look for it at our MAIN SITE. This will be the premier source for all things STICKS.
2. We are almost under 300 seats left for the STICKS CONFERENCE this fall in Galletin, TN on November 9-10. [35 miles n/o Nashville]. The main sessions and break-outs are tailor made for those of us doing it with no resources, staff, a wing and a prayer! Don't miss a conference experience like no other. No excuses...be there. And don't wait...or you might miss out.
The breakouts and speakers know what it takes to encourage, network, equip and inspire those of us trying to do a lot with a little!
3. BTW: Did you sign up for free tickets? You can do it HERE.
4. Want some help? No one else offers coaching like this to help those in small towns and hard to reach places where we have little money, little staff, little help, little _____________.
The STICKS coaching network has some openings. Are you trying to transition a traditional church? Are you planting or looking to revitalize a plant? How about bi-vocational? Is multi-site in the STICKS in your future? We have coaches that have been there, done that. Like Greg Oraham who is lead pastor at a church of 2,400+ in 2 sites all in a town of 8,000! Where else will you get access like that to help transform your ministry? E-mail us for more deets: [info@thesticks.tv]. And this is NOT group coaching...we are 1 on 1 right where you are.
5. We will be giving away a free IPAD next month just for re-tweeting, face-booking and helping us spread the word. We do this with NO BUDGET, so SHARE THE LOVE!
6. We will also be launching twice a month meet-ups with some of YOU and some of our speakers. Look for the details soon. You can live facebook and message your questions with people who are doing it in the trenches. Some you know well, others you haven't heard of at all...and we like it that way.
Look for THE STICKS to bust out next month and into July. We do this for YOU...so share the love and passion as we reach places where nobody else thinks of going because of the fire that Jesus has placed in our hearts.
We weren't invited to the conversation at most gatherings [not that we desire that...but how about those of us out on the edges?], so we are creating one ourselves. Thanks for being a part of this crazy tribe.

STICKS NEWS AND UPDATES.01.31.10
Hey all you STICKS crazies! How is ministry in the middle of nowhere going? You are the brave warriors going where no one else wants to go! Dang, it can be lonely, tough, discouraging and mind-blowing. So glad we serve a God who was born in a very out of the way place, when he could have chosen a palace! If you have ever wanted to quit, or don't know where to turn next, YOU ARE NOT ALONE!
We are excited that in the next 8 weeks we will be unveiling a brand new site for those in small towns and hard to reach places who need a place for ENCOURAGEMENT, INSPIRATION, NETWORKING and TRAINING. That is what the STICKS is all about. PERIOD.
We are just a bunch of regular pastors, church planters, staff and lay leaders with "other" jobs, so thanks for your patience as we work to get this new site up. We have no formal staff, marketers, or gurus. The blog will serve as the place to gather and the new STICKS CONFERENCE website will be up with our 2010-11 line-up as we know it to date. Since we have no staff, we count on YOU to make it happen, so spread the word and get this thing jacked up as we move forward.
We do know that November 9-10th, 2010 we will be hosting our 1st full conference of the STICKS season. Look for final details soon!
Our STICKS TEAM will be there with some friends to gather together for those 4 purposes. Forget them already? [ENCOURAGEMENT, INSPIRATION, NETWORKING and TRAINING].
We believe that the purpose of the STICKS GATHERINGS is to be a place where RELEVANCE MEETS REVIVAL! Look for the new site and registration info very soon.
**Lastly, don't forget that we will be doing a PRE-CONFERENCE at CHURCHPLANTERS.com VELOCITY CONFERENCE next month. We would love to meet-up with you there. The main conference line-up is KILLER and if you can't make the whole thing, at least register for the PRE-CONFERENCE and come see us. [If you can come, the first person to e-mail me and ask, I will give a free pre-conference admission ticket for our STICKS GATHERING prior to the Velocity Conference].
We also have some spots still available in our STICKS COACHING NETWORK. There are very limited spots left for our coaching network [$150-$250/month for access to the ONE ON ONE coaching.] Hit me for more details: chazzdaddy17@gmail.com
Can't wait to see what God will do with a bunch of no-body's. Let's freaking rock it, right where HE has called us and placed us and sealed us with HIS MISSION. Just because we are in the middle of nowhere doesn't mean that we can't have BIG IMPACT in HIS POWER!

The Next STICKS Event @ CHURCHPLANTERS.COM 2010! Let's blow it up.
THE STICKS is honored to have been invited to do a pre-conference workshop gathering for the VELOCITY CONFERENCE from CHURCHPLANTERS.com
The line-up is SICK for the main conference [which by the way is ONLY $72 for 72 hours starting THIS MONDAY...so get on it.] The pre-conference workshop will be on day 1 from 9-12pm, and the main conference begins @ 1pm.
Hold on...here is what our team will attempt cover at THE STICKS pre-conference:
1. HOW TO DO A LOT WITH A LITTLE. [little staff, little leadership, little money, little faith?]
2. HOW TO KEEP MINISTRY IN A PLACE WHERE RELEVANCE MEETS REVIVAL.
3. THE UNIQUE CHALLENGES AND ISSUES OF ATTRACTING STAFF, DEVELOPING LEADERS, AND OTHER STRUGGLES IN SMALL TOWNS AND HARD TO REACH PLACES.
4. Q and A SO YOU CAN BRING YOUR QUESTIONS AND GET PRACTICAL HELP TO WHAT IS HOLDING YOU BACK.
So glad that an amazing team of people have stepped up to lead THE STICKS into the future to minister to those in small to medium sized towns and hard to reach places so they might have a BIG IMPACT for the KINGDOM!
Check out all the other details about the pre-conference workshop HERE. Stop on by, and be prepared to do some serious networking and be ready for some fresh vision and inspiration. Who knows...maybe we can get some big name dude to stop by and donate some money to your church...maybe, just maybe.
I do know that we will be stealing some of the amazing equipment from Mountain Lake Church [that's one STICKS tip...big churches don't miss a piece of equipment or a stray motion light or 2... ;]
