Richard Ziebart reports on active LLL Southwest Zone

Richard Ziebart of the Southwest Zone in the Michigan LLL District gave this recent report on activity in his zone.

We are meeting on the third Saturday at 7:30 AM at Trinity Lutheran in St. Joseph during the Months of October – April for breakfast and Men’s Network Bible Studies and inviting our Zone members. Our present topic is “NOAH” and our attendance varies between 15-30 men. We have some non- Lutherans also join us. Participation in the subject matter is very good.

Another item I consider very worthwhile is the “Project Connect Booklet Ministry. I have done a study of two important parts of the Ministry. One is, what do people want the most help ,or have a need to know and also how can we share the booklets with the most people? We have found that the Grocery store is the place where most people use the booklets. The usage is almost 5 to I at the store as in Church. The subject matter or topics are the same at both places. The other study deals with which are the most “POPULAR”. The top 10 in their order are: #1. Prayer, #2 Talking With God, #3 Where’s God in all This, #4 Get A Grip, #5 The Bible, #6 The Truth About Angels, #7 Reasons to Believe, #8 Dealing with Depression, #9 Why do Bad Things Happen?, #10 No Need to Fear. Our total usage this year is over 1100 booklets.

We also have Breakfast Bible Study at Christ Lutheran on the first and third Monday each month. Jerry Malinasky has the Library of all the Men’s Network DVD’s and does a great job of keeping us organized. We have just started the “Mormons” study.
