i've heard legends of...\n\na high school football coach came to a town with the WORST football team in the section. he started the season with, "we're not going to have practice on wednesdays." he explained that the team had to find a way to help the community instead of practicing football. the coach had a christian background/perspective.\n\nlong story short... by the end of the season they were the number 1 team in the section.\n\ndo a google search on that?? i don't have any other details.

See if you can check it out at www.beliefnet.com (or .org)

Find a good Bible based church focused on Jesus Christ. There are missionaries there.

You can check with local churches and other community organizations.  If they can't help maybe they can steer you in the right direction.

Maybe put it in the newspaper or check with a church?  Good luck.  I don't know of anyone.  I would do it if I could.  God bless you for being so thoughtful.

Good luck!  I'm interested in the same thing where I live.  It's good to know that there are people out there in the same situation.  Sorry I can't be much help though.  The only thing I can think of would be to talk to local churches in your community and see if they would be willing to help out or if they would know how to go about it.  I wish you well.

Given the results of the midterm elections, and given the fact that large groups of American evangelical Christians seem to have changed voting patterns and abandoned Republican candidates, I'd nominate David Kuo's book, _Tempting Faith: An Inside Story of Political Seduction_.\n\nIt was on the NY Times Bestseller list the month before the elections, and even folks who don't read much heard about this book, since it got mass media coverage.

One I enjoyed reading was "Foxes Book of Martyrs." It's a history of people who were martyred for the faith.  It provides some historical context, but most of all it tells personal stories of people who had deep convictions about what it means to be a Christian.

I think you should consider a study with Jehovah's Witnesses

Try the Vineyard Church.  Do a seach on the internet for Vineyard churches in your area.  The vineyard is predominantly a youth and young adult movement.  \n\nBlessings!

Try looking around on umc.org--it's a big site, bound to be something!

I'm sure you can find one. It will be small and full of older people. Probably in an older part of town. That is where I usually find them. I love older Christians and enjoy the warmth of a small fellowship. Old buildings have charm. God bless.
