Smiles were few and conversations were brief as the anticipation of what was to come weighed heavy on all who gathered around the table to meet.

Build A Legacy, Not Just A Great Service
Friday March 15, 2019 | Ronne RockI think about the pressure we often place on Sundays here in the U.S. We labor over the messages and lesson plans, we do our best to captivate with lights, sound, images and storylines.

Marketing the Gospel
Friday February 28, 2014 | Ronne RockFor the past seven years, I’ve led marketing efforts for ministries. I’ve got a great team ready to dive in and design assets that prompt people to give, adopt, travel, attend, pray, fast, get happy, get angry, or just simply get off their rears and do something.
