What’s your church up to this Christmas? Crossway is pleased to announce the launch of Share the Good News of Christmas 2010! Share the Good News of Christmas is designed to help churches connect with their community, reach out with the gospel, and invite people to their Christmas service. On a larger scale, we invite you to join Crossway and churches across the nation and the globe to share the gospel with one million homes this holiday season!
How does it work?
The program is centered around gift bags that contain:
You can order Share the Good News of Christmas by the kit directly from Crossway or from your local Christian bookstore (in participating locations). Each kit is $50 and has supplies for 50 gift bags. Your family, small group, or Sunday school class can work together to invite your neighbors to a Christmas service or event at your church.

Acts 29 Boot Camps are church planting conferences open to the public that focus on the vision of church planting, the calling of the planter, the mandate to multiply churches, and the theological foundation for gospel-centered church planting.
Mark your calendars for this Wednesday, July 28th from 7-9pm CT to join Dave Harvey on desiringGod.org/live. (It’ll be similar to the Ask Paul Tripp event two months ago). As always, we encourage you to send your questions and feedback via Twitter, using the hashtag #dglive.
Who is Dave Harvey?
He recently released his new Crossway book Rescuing Ambition. But there’s more to this man than that. Here’s a helpful bio from the Sovereign Grace Ministries website.
Dave Harvey is responsible for church care, church planting, and international expansion for Sovereign Grace Ministries. He has served as a member of the Sovereign Grace Ministries leadership team since 1995.
Dave has been in pastoral ministry at Covenant Fellowship Church (Glen Mills, PA) since 1986, was ordained in 1988, and served as senior pastor from 1990 to 2008. He has served on the board of the Christian Counseling and Educational Foundation since 2006. Dave received a Master of Arts in Missiology from Westminster Theological Seminary in 1989, worked toward a Master of Divinity from Eastern Baptist Theological Seminary from 1993 to 1995, and in 2001 became a graduate in Westminster’s D.Min. program. The subject of his doctoral thesis was the identification and equipping of church planters.
Dave contributed a chapter to Worldliness: Resisting the Seduction of a Fallen World (Crossway, 2008) and is the author of When Sinners Say “I Do”: Discovering the Power of the Gospel for Marriage (Shepherd, 2007). Dave also wrote a chapter for Why Small Groups?, a book from Sovereign Grace’s Pursuit of Godliness series. He continues to work on other writing projects.
Dave lives in West Chester, Pennsylvania, with his wife, Kimm. They have four children and, despite his many protests, one stray cat.
