Challenge
Preachers do a great job of motivating us to help one another. However, when we walk out of church, the opportunity to help each other isn't so apparent. As we drive home, the desire fades into the background and we often fail to take action.
Analysis
There has got to be a better way to capture this motivation as it occurs.
Solution!
Enrich our Christian experience with the Living Bulletin's interactive tools to help people get better connected and follow the needs of our church community.
Challenge
There is a reluctance to give to charity due to the high cost of charitable operations.
Analysis
Charities often have high overhead costs which lead to a small percentage of donations actually reaching the intended recipient. Why can't this percentage be much larger?
Solution!
Use technology to dramatically improve the giving process. By pass the middle man and give directly to those in by need using Churchcoin™.
Challenge
There is a pent up demand for helping each other and doing good because people have heard of all the scams and misuse of donations… most charities see only pennies on the dollar going to help others. People really want to help more, they just don't get connected.
Analysis
This dynamic has truly devastating consequences because we fail to live up to our Christian potential. People in need don't get the help they need and so many people fail to get the benefit from living a life filled with charity.
Solution!
Use the Living Bulletin and Christians Helping Christians to connect people in need directly with people who have the time or resources to meet those needs
Challenge
The church is made up of the people, not the building. How come the church bulletins contain so very little about the people who make up the church?
Analysis
This approach to church communications is antiquated and failing. People aren't able to develop that rich sense of connection to their church they desire. It's almost like they are kept in the dark. As a result, attrition and migration away from our church is far more likely to occur.
Solution!
Implement the Living Bulletin and offer each person the opportunity to easily post their own content. Easily include information about new parishioners, featured parishioners, community needs, prayers requests and so much more.
Challenge
I've sat just a few pews away from the same people at church for years, yet, I haven't gotten to know them any better. How can I quickly learn more about the people of my congregation and develop closer connections? How do I find out who shares my same interests? Who has the skills I can rely on to help me succeed?
Analysis
Wow. The people of each church offer a great deal of talent and potential for relationships. The current answer is to say, let's have an event and hope people get to know each other better. What if we could improve communication in such a way as to increase connections by 10%? ...50%? ...100%? Wouldn't it be worth it?

Analysis
God gives grace to those who help out, that's true. But sometimes, this is just not enough to motivate people to go the extra mile.
