About 3 weeks ago, my wife and I attended a luncheon here in the Kansas City Metro area put on by Dave Ramsey's organization. The purpose of the luncheon was to encourage metro area churches to promote the upcoming Total Money Makeover Live event on Saturday, May 3rd. The two representatives from the Lampo Group explained that the desired progression for getting Dave's message into churches was this:- Drive as many church members to the Live Event as you possibly can in order to give them an overview of Dave's financial program.
- After church members have attended the Live Event, promote additional new classes of Financial Peace University.
After hearing Dave's representatives say this, the light bulb went off in my head regarding the future of Financial Peace University at First Baptist Raytown. Even though we had just begun one class of FPU at the end of February and have had an incredible response (approximately 86 students!), my own personal desire and goal has been to offer multiple classes during the week all year round. I started to get the vision of getting hundreds of our church members down to the Live Event and then enroll them in FPU immediately afterwards.
We have begun initial promotion of the Live Event, yesterday, with hall posters, a small article in the church bulletin, and a lobby sign-up table. This coming Sunday, we are going to hit it even harder with a video promotion at the end of both services, a plug from the pastor, and I have the privilege of writing the "pastor's bulletin article" this week. I would love to see 200-300 of our church members attend and catch the vision of getting their financial houses in order.
Churches receive a special $23.00 rate per ticket for general admission, so this really is a good deal!
