Where Do You Turn" Campaign Update
Many of you know that the congregation approved the "Where Do You Turn" Campaign for this fiscal year. The campaign involves the running of professional TV commercials on the Fox News and Family Channels several times per week. The first commercials aired around the first of August. The purpose of the commercials is to touch people going through various things like: marital struggles, addiction, depression, financial struggle, parenting stress, and grief. As the commercials are shown, a website is also shown. People are encouraged to visit the website www.wheredoyouturn.com/marin. On the website there are sections addressing the various needs, as well as a section on how to get saved. There is also a link to our church's website. Below is a chart showing the response to the commercials. For example, since being aired, there have been 202 hits on the wheredoyouturn site. Six people have checked out "How to get Saved." There have been twenty-three "link hits" to our churches website... The chart is fairly self-explanatory. Obviously, some people are responding to the commercials. Many folks in the church have told me they have seen the commercials. This means that many more outside the church are seeing them as well. At our next church business meeting, we will be giving a more extensive report. Please pray for this campaign. Also, if you have seen the commercials, would you tell one of the staff. Thanks.
