Time = People

So, I received an email recently from a sales trainer who wants to motivate me to make more sales.  Attached to the email is a chart called Time = Money.  For example, if you make $100,000 per year, then one week of your time is work $1,923.  One day of your time is worth $382.60. One hour of your time is worth $48.08, and one minute of your time is worth $.80.  In return, an hour saved each week for one year equals $2,500 saved.  This chart bring things into perspective for me as far as time management in concerned, BUT . . . think about time management this way.

Many of you will be investing a lot of your time into the launch of ConnexionChurch.  I want to share with you what your time means to us and to the Kingdom of God . . . 

If you invest one hour a week at Connexion and 8 people make a decision for Christ each week; you will have invested 52 hours over the course of the year and 416 people will have made a life-changing decision for Christ.  I am convinced that ConnexionChurch will see more than 416 people make that decision.  However, if we all consider what our time means to the Kingdom of God, we will see that one hour a week is definitely worth 8 decisions of life-change.  Even if you sacrifice as much as 8 hours each week it is well worth the time invested because every hour equals 1 soul.  Thank you for all your hard work, sacrifice and input.  ConnexionChurch could not and would not exist without your sacrifices! And for that we say THANK YOU!  You guys are awesome and I can't wait to see how God uses each of your gifts this year.  Hey continue to read the blogs Joe is posting called "The Nature of ConnexionChurch," I think his writings are going to be very insightful to the heart of our launch.

Many of you will be investing a lot of your time into this launch.  Just know what your time means to us and to the Kingdom of God!
