TRANSFORMATION CLARKSVILLE

In my 7 years of serving in Clarksville I have seen many men and women of God come and speak about how Clarksville is instrumental in reaching Nashville; that Clarksville is a prototype of Citywide Transformation that will reach Nashville. At our last Marketplace Ministry Luncheon Tod Bel talked about Clarksville as a detonator city.
Some of you might be asking what is a detonator? A detonator in this context, is a small explosion that sets off a larger explosion. This is what we have been praying that Clarksville will become! I believe that Clarksville is a strategic city for the spiritual transformation of this region in the United States. That word has been spoken over and over again. The great news is that this is no longer just a word or an abstract idea. It is happening in the Elk River, Minnesota. Rick Heeren will be joining us to give us encouraging testimony that will strengthen the effort of the rapidly growing numbers of men and women in Clarksville, who are believing spiritual transformation will occur in our city. It is possible to see the spiritual climate over Clarksville changed!
Many of us have heard the call to reach the whole city and to advance the Kingdom of God in Clarksville. This call has grown stronger in myself and many other leaders that I have spoken with. It is now at an all time high. The challenge is how do we do that? With the principles laid out in this seminar you will be given the tools to help reach Clarksville. We know that every city has its own DNA and we need something like this to help us identify our own DNA. Many of you who receive this email will identify that this is also your heart’s desire -to see the church unified for the advancement of the Kingdom. This will be spurred by pastors, business people, intercessors, city officials and educators who love and trust one another. I know you will find encouragement and the call of God to see your city reached for Christ.
Here is a brief summary of what will be offered.
1) Five Pivotal Paradigms for Transformation
These are the foundational understanding that is changing the way the Body of Christ functions and understands her role in the world. It is then leading to entire cities and nations coming under the massive influence of the presence and power of God. We will unfold these simple but profound truths that form the path for transformation.
2) Prayer Evangelism and Changing the Spiritual Climate of the City
Resistencia, Argentina was the first modern city to be completely reached and transformed by the united church. The prin­ciples pioneered by Harvest Evangelism and that are documented in That None Should Perish by Ed Silvoso form the basis of what we now call Prayer Evangelism. Tod and Rick will share these principles, illustrate them practically and also show documented examples of cities changed when the church implemented Prayer Evangelism to change the spiritual climate.
3. A Strategic Path to Follow for Transformation Clarksville
A Step by step strategy for the church to work together to reach Clarksville. Proven and powerful.
4. A Five Step Spiritual Business Plan and the Role of Your Success in Gaining Influence
Releasing and commissioning marketplace ministers to take the principles taught in the seminar to start filling the city. Pastors will have a key role in this portion of the seminar.
Please join us March 1st, 2008 at the Custom House Museum, Downtown Clarksville at 8:00am for something that literally will change the destiny of Clarksville
