Advantage Conferences Marketing & Finance Super Saturday

Report on November's SUPER SATURDAY

Advantage Conference's Super Saturday on Saturday, November 15, 2008 was truly sensational and filled to the brim with instructional, helpful content for business owners and business professionals. Here are a few of the reports that have come in.

Congratulations on your many hours of nuts and bolts information - it was terrific. Karen and I were there for every minute. She was typing like crazy and I was writing. All of your chosen speakers were God-inspired and speaking from the heart with the holy spirit whispering in their ears. This technology allowed us to pour our own coffee and still give input through the open mike and type in on the forum. I am glad you chose this format. I look forward to the day when we have 1000's on the call. It's coming thanks to your perseverance. By coincidence I was talking to the people at go-to-meeting this past week. It was good to see it in action. We have to deal with sales people all across Canada in my business and we also will upgrade to the webinars. Karen signed up for the 30 day challenge that Jack Weinzierl led us to right away. Thanks again!

...Jim - VP Corp Development

"Super Satrurday was "WOW!" definitely enlightening, packed full of useful information. I took a lot of notes and am printing them out to keep for referrence.

...Naomi

The Super Saturday Conference was perfect timing for us, with the cutting edge marketing, mindset and financial information we need to maximize our resources, stay competitive in the marketplace and best prosper in a challenging world. Sincere thanks to all of the presenters, all are top of their fields, who delivered easy to understand, usable and powerful information to ignite all who attended. Truly a power packed day that we deeply appreciate and will put what we learned into motion to produce great results in our businesses and lives. Thank you Advantage Conferences for continuing to deliver what all entrepreneurs and business people need and want.

...Lisa & Michael Ferrin

Again, I was in awe of the type of preparation and effort you put into your presentations. Your speakers were very interesting. I thank God the day I found your site on the internet and how each lesson you have prepared has worked with my life and the life that Jim and I have together. Thanks again for your tremendous effort.

...Karen

Advantage Conferences has solutions to lots of the money problems of life and we have to share it with the world, because there are people out there hurting. But as Jack Weinzierl said, "We have to get out of my space, and our space, so we can get to their space, to share it, and make a difference. Let's do it, The world needs what we have here at AC.

Mindset Mentoring Conference VII

The Seventh Mindset Mentoring Conference is Nov. 6 & 7th,2009 in Dallas, Texas and we can't wait! Find out what these life changing, powerful events are all about.

From the Advantage Conferences site, Mindset Mentoring Conference Page:

Are you serious about changing your annual income? Can you see yourself becoming financially independent rather than relegated to a lifetime of employment? If you are intent on creating a lifestyle that includes genuine Financial Security, Time Freedom, and Lifestyle Options, you can do so by learning how highly successful people think as regards Faith in God, Family, Health, Business and Finances.

Here is a simple fact…

What holds most people back is their thinking. Mentoring is the very device that allows a person to uncover what is wrong about their thinking and how they can replace the erroneous thinking with better, more effective and productive thinking.

For instance, if you wanted to become a Millionaire, you would be smart to uncover how Millionaires think on multiple subjects. You will find that they do think and act differently from the masses, and knowing those differences is truly empowering. You may be surprised to find that the motive for greater resources is to have the ability to GIVE MORE to Christian ministries and causes that are Biblically sound.

But, how can you learn to adopt this kind of thinking? You could read certain books and listen to a variety of audio programs. You could register for courses in Entrepreneurship or Finance. We recommend you do some or all of these things.

HOWEVER, books, audio programs, and college classes will only take you so far. No, the optimal way to learn the secrets of successful people is to go straight to them for training.

This powerful, unique method pioneered by Advantage Conferences is the most effective way to genuinely capture the correct Mindset you need for dramatic advancement. The Mindset MentoringSM Conference delivers Mindset information that deals with the intangibles that lead to the understanding of how to transform your current situation. What you are going to find will revolutionize your approach to Christ, business, money, finances, family, and virtually everything you do!

Advantage Conferences carefully selects Christian Millionaire and Multi-Millionaire Mentors from a variety of different backgrounds and industries who donate their valuable time to tell their stories, teach their deepest beliefs, and offer their most pertinent advice. The Conference takes place in an intimate, interactive classroom setting where an elite handful of elite MMC Attendees are "tuned in" to this unique, inspiring and life-changing education.

This PRICELESS information will help you transform your "Current-Income Mindset" into a “Higher Income Mindset”. Armed with new Thinking and Strategies stimulated from the wisdom and heart of AC’s Christian Millionaires, you will now be prepared to truly gain control of your life and dramatically transform your financial situation!

Attendees are Allowed to Ask Questions for advice regarding their specific enterprise, financial situation, challenges, giving habits, decisions, choices, and strategies Mindset MentoringSM Conference Attendees are invited to attend future MMC's at reduced prices. Imagine making this event your periodic success stimulus and guidance mechanism! Upon interviewing highly successful people, you will find that the majority were disciplined about consistently acquiring education that helped them move forward. That discipline includes putting aside 5% of their budget, and even more in many cases, for personal training, consulting, and mentoring.

In fact, most will tell you that "Continuing Adult Education is absolutely crucial to anyone's success." Non-College Adult Education is now a $10+ Billion Industry.

Attendee Testimonies: http://ACTestimonials.com

I had received a glimpse of what the Mindset MentoringSM Conference might be about while listening to the Mindset Calls every Thursday. But, the Conference itself actually went right off the scale. It was absolutely awesome. The speakers, their stories, the total environment; Christ-centered yet down to earth. It was a very nurturing atmosphere where normally we look for information on the exterior how to become successful and prosperous; here it was driven from the interior; from the Christ within that makes all things possible when we place our trust in His Goodness. Thank you Tim for making this a reality for many. Looking forward to seeing you at the next one in Dallas. — Rosa Shala

The MMC in September was a transformational event for me personally, and my family vicariously. The intensive sessions with these Christian millionaires provided repeating yet varied themes of struggle and ultimate victory. Meeting these “ordinary” people who, through faith, have become extraordinary leaders in service for God’s Kingdom has given me the inspiration I need to persevere and achieve my own victory for God’s glory. — Scott Whited

Marketplace Ministry Revisited

Here is a noteworthy post from OPEN by Mike Melvin.

Jesus made 132 public appearances in the NT, 122 were in the marketplace. Out of the 52 parables Jesus told, 45 had a workplace context. Of the 40 divine interventions recorded in Acts, 39 were in the marketplace. Jesus spent his adult life as a carpenter until age 30 before he went into a preaching ministry in the workplace. Jesus called 12 workplace individuals, not clergy, to build His church.

Work is Worship - The Hebrew word "Avodah" is the root word from which we get the words work and worship. Work in its different forms is mentioned more than 800 times in the Bible, more than all the words used to express worship, music, praise, and singing combined.

"I believe that one of the next great moves of God is going to be through believers in the workplace." Dr. Billy Graham

"There is a distinction between church work and the work of the church. Church work is what you do for the organized institution of the church. The work of the church is what is done between Sundays when the church is scattered all over the metropolitan area where it is located - in homes, schools, offices, on construction jobs, in market places." - Dick Halverson

"The spiritual manifests itself in a life which knows no division into sacred and secular." Oswald Chambers

"Spirituality in the workplace is exploding." Laura Nash, Business Ethicist, Harvard University

"God is marshalling his people in the workplace as never before in history. God is up to something. The next spiritual awakening could take place in the marketplace."
-Henry Blackaby

"Workplace ministry will be one of the core future innovations in church ministry." George Barna, Boiling Point, Regal Publishing

"We reviewed 52 movements in the body of Christ. We narrowed it down to 28, then 12, then 4 to invest our resources in the coming years. The workplace is one of those because this is an area where we see God working." Chad Hammond, Director, New Ventures (division of the Billy Graham Evangelistic Assoc.)

"Our surveys reveal that 90-97% of Christians have never heard a sermon relating biblical principles to their work life." Doug Sherman, author, Your Work Matters to God.

"Societal transformation is high on God's agenda and the chief catalytic force to bring it about will be Christians ministering in the marketplace." C. Peter Wagner, Chancellor, Wagner Leadership Institute

"The church in the workplace is the purest form of the body of Christ today due to its diversity. Workplace believers are less prone to denominational differences because they have a common goal of representing Christ in their workplaces. The movement will break down denominational barriers that have been held in the past." Os Hillman, International Coalition of Workplace Ministries

"The most common self-inflicted put-down is 'I am not a pastor-I am just a layperson. This is all part of a clever satanic scheme to neutralize apostles, prophets, evangelists, pastors and teachers along with the entire army of disciples, already positioned in the marketplace." Ed Silvoso, Anointed for Business, Harvest Evangelism

"Indeed, as with first-century Christianity, it all begins in the marketplace, where the disciples of Jesus daily rub shoulders with the
lost."- Bill McCartney, Promise Keepers, Anointed for Business, Regal Publishing

"In today's global community, the greatest channel of distribution for 'salt and light' is the business community - the marketplace." Bill Pollard, Chairman, Service Master

"Someone recently said that the "First" Reformation took the Word of God to the common man and woman; the "Second" Reformation is taking the work of God to the common man and woman. That time is now. The greatest potential ministry in the world today is the marketplace. Christ's greatest labor force is those men and women already in that environment." Tom Phillips, VP of Training , Billy Graham Evangelistic Association

"The workplace is where a majority of a church congregation, spends a majority of their time, interacting with a majority of the unchurched world. The Church on Monday is evidence that the Church on Sunday is real!" Doug Spada, His Church at Work.org

Expelled The Movie

Today opens the new movie, documentary, with Ben Stein EXPELLED: No Intelligence Allowed. His heroic and, at times, shocking journey confronting the world’s top scientists, educators and philosophers, regarding the persecution of the many by an elite few. Ben travels the world on his quest, and learns an awe-inspiring truth…that bewilders him, then angers him…and then spurs him to action.

Ben realizes that he has been “Expelled,” and that educators and scientists are being ridiculed, denied tenure and even fired – for the “crime” of merely believing that there might be evidence of “design” in nature, and that perhaps life is not just the result of accidental, random chance. To which Ben Says: "Enough!" And then gets busy.

We definitely recommend this film. It covers a lot of surprising ground and facts. We found the teaching on the complexity of a "cell" especially powerful. Interestingly, the knowledge science has today of the cell was completely unknown at the time of what many call "Darwin's outdated theory", that in light of that knowledge alone would have changed the direction of his thinking and theories that so many base their answer to where they came from.

Time For Truth Ministries

Here is an interesting ministry and blog to check out that builds up the body of Christ. Time For Truth Ministries exists for the express purpose of educating the church about end time lies and equipping the church to confront and combat them with God's truth. If ever there was a time for Christians to be equipped to answer those questioning our faith (1 Peter 3:15) or to defend the faith once and for all delivered to the saints (Jude 3) it is now! Thus, Time For Truth Ministries is expressly dedicated to the educating and equipping of believers for this most important, timely, and formidable task.

Don Walton,founder,well respected Bible teacher,pastor,revivalist, author, and true servant after God's own heart and mission, always has interesting facts and thoughts on the site and blog at www.timefortruth.org. We enjoy his straight forward, no nonsense delivery and fact packed research.
