I have been using ZipSkinny for about six months now... as a missionary here in the mountains of West Virginia, ZipSkinny has become one of my most important ministry tools.
I am a stats guy, and used to pour over the Census website for hours to find what I can get in a few clicks on ZipSkinny.
It has helped us to decide where to plant our next mission sites, and has helped to see the vision of where we need to be going as a ministry.
Let me add my word of thanks. In just two clicks, I found out a great deal about the place God has called us to serve. I'm looking forward to punching in several of the other surrounding zip codes, to see how they compare. Keep up the good work. Dale
If this is not a place where tears are understood, Then where shall I go to cry? And if this is not a place where my spirit can take wings, Then where shall I go to fly? I don't need another place for trying to impress you With just how good and virtuous I am. I don't need another place for always being on top of things; Everybody knows that it's a sham. I don't need another place for always wearing smiles, Even when it's not the way I feel. I don't need another place to mouth the same old platitudes; Everybody knows that it's not real. So if this is not a place where my questions can be asked, Then where shall I go to seek? And if this is not a place where my heart cry can be heard, Where, tell me where, shall I go to speak? So if this is not a place where tears are understood, Where shall I go, where shall I go to fly? -- Ken Medema
I wonder if this belonged to one of the apostles? Simon the Zealot strikes me as the kind of guy who would wear an earring. I recall the time, when I was graduating from seminary, I received an invitation to start a new congregation in a college town. In the letter, they outlined the vision, the demographics of the community, and their expectations for the pastor. The letter ended with a p.s. -- "and of course, your wife will not be permitted to wear earrings." They forgot say anything about ME wearing earrings. For a while, I was tempted to go ahead, take the position, and get my ear pierced.
OH MY WORD!! I COULD KISS YOU RIGHT NOW.
ReplyDeleteWell...at least thank you profusely. I really needed a site like this.
THANK YOU.

ReplyDeleteSo much better than the 'build it and they will come' mentality.
