This Spring the Northshore Baptist Association is conducting an area wide PROBE (a PROBE studies People, Residences, Opportunities, Barriers, Evangelism avenues through data collection and windshield surveys). On April 1st, we’ll come together for a final windshield survey and compilation of data. I’ll be releasing some of what we’ve discovered so far over the next few weeks. This info will help us develop a strategy for church planting and ministry development over the next 10 years or so. And we hope it will help churches see open doors in the community for ministry. If you’d like to receive our information, let me know – lanecorley@gmail.com. If you’d like to participate in the PROBE, meet at First Baptist Lacombe or the Clegg Mission and Ministries Center in Hammond at 8:30am on April 1st. We’ll have a light breakfast and go from there, finishing up with lunch at Bedico Baptist Church at 12:30pm. If you think you have a handle on people, residences, opportunities, barriers, and evangelism avenues, don’t be stingy. Let us know your insights, so that we can share it with others.

Later today, I’ll release some data on Multihousing on the Northshore. On Monday, I’ll release some of a 30 year statistical analysis of church growth on the Northshore.

Lot’s of opportunities to partner together.
