The COVID-19 Portal by Cheryl Scanlan

We have just gone through the COVID-19 Portal that has transported us with lightning speed into a new world.

When you read that statement, where does your heart settle? Does it pine longingly for the days gone by? Are you looking forward to the return of normal? The interesting thing about the COVID-19 Portal, is that it’s a one-way portal. It is a phenomenon that has shifted your business, your community and the world. It seems that we are left without an anchor to anything we knew before. Additionally, the environment is very unstable for all of us world-wide. Read More

Top 10 Reasons Singles Dislike Zoom by Kris Swiatocho

Since the start of COVID-19 most churches, companies, families, and friends are using Zoom (and other online software).

Starting Online Support Groups by Joseph Northcut

In this season of shelter-at-home, churches came to realize quickly that it was impossible for small groups to continue to gather in person.

Wisdom and Tempation

Kris shares, via Zoom with a women's ministry in Texas.

“Jesus was a single adult and so are over 50% of the adults in the U.S. today. This is a population segment that calls for special attention and ministry, but has often gone unnoticed by the church. Kris Swiatocho has dedicated her life to reaching single adults for Christ and building them into multiplying disciples of Christ. She is a great communicator and organizer of singles ministry. I commend her to any church or group who is seeking to reach the many singles in our culture today.”
—Dr. Steve Harris, Strategy Coordinator for the Baptist State Convention of North Carolina.
