    Promoting your ministry through telling stories!
    Many times, we promote our church or ministry through graphics about events or resources. We tell people about the next concert and sermon series. But does your community really know who you are and what you believe in? Are they just following you or deeply connected to you? Learning to tell personal stories can totally change how people perceive your ministry and bind them to you in a way no other promotion can. These stories will also point them to the Good News and the only One who can change their lives – Jesus!
