Today I want to tell you about a project that is very near to my heart. I first traveled to Haiti nearly 17 years ago to do short-term missions work and make a difference in the lives of people. It’s really true what they say: you always come back changed. I’ve never been the same. The people we worked with, prayed for and ministered to impacted me far more than we could’ve impacted them.

I know you recall the massive earthquake that struck near Port-Au-Prince in Haiti on January 12th of this year. Now that the media whirlwind has died down, it occupies a little less of our attention than it did. But what a lot of people don’t realize is that Haiti is now home to nearly 500,000 orphans.

We recently got connected to an organization called Caring4Haiti. They’ve established a project to build an orphanage in Ouanaminthe (in the northeast part of Haiti).

My team and I have decided to get behind this project and have “adopted” it for 2011. We want you to get involved, too!

But rather than just send out the typical appeal, I wanted to do something unique.

Contribute Any Amount to Get Over 5 Hours of Audio!

Accessing The Supernatural: Just 1 of 5 hours of Audio You Can Get for as Little as $10!

So… we’ve gotten some great stuff together, including a previously unreleased message from the Nourish The Dream Resource Library entitled “Accessing The Supernatural.” I know you’re going to enjoy it.

Zig Ziglar

But we also contacted our friends at Ziglar, Inc. They decided to get involved and “sweeten the deal” a little bit for you. You can get some of Zig Ziglar’s most memorable, most-requested, most powerful recordings, and some practical great stuff from Krish Dhanam and Bryan Flanagan as well.

The best part? You get to decide how much you’d like to contribute. That’s right… for as little as $10 you can start downloading everything today!

We’ve committed all of the proceeds from this package to our 2011 Haiti Orphanage project, so you can feel good about contributing as much as you are able. If funds are tight, then a donation of $10 is plenty to get things started!

I’ve prepared a short video clip to fill you in on all the details. You can watch it here.

I look forward to hearing from you!

Merry Christmas,

Founder

I want to personally extend an invitation to you to join me in Columbus, Ohio for the ProVision 2010 Conference.

This event is being hosted by Gary Keesee, who along with his wife Drenda hosts the Faith Life Now television broadcast, whose vision for the conference is to equip believers with both practical training and inspirational empowering to be successful in business.

Provision 2010 Conference with Gary Keesee and David G. Johnson

It is my privilege to join a powerful lineup of speakers for this event, including Mike Healy, Stan Souder, Bert Lindsay, Jerry Frisbee, CPA, as well as Drenda Keesee and Amy Freudiger.

There will be something for everyone — whether you own a business, are planning to start a business, or are simply looking to advance in your profession.

For those of you looking to grow a business, I’ll be presenting these topics:

PLUS: the System You Can Use to Multiply Sales in Only 10 Minutes Per Day!

You can catch this session on Friday the 25th at 3:30pm or Saturday the 26th at 11:30am.

These are going to be powerful worskshops, but there’s one session I’m even more excited about. It’s this one:

What To Do Next Monday: Renegade Strategies In Action

We’ve all done it: attended a conference and taken page after page of notes… only to let them sit and gather dust after re-entering our busy lives. In this unique interactive training session, we’ll move beyond dispensing information and will take you through some powerful exercises that will help you take action and get you on the road to results before you even get home!

Here’s something I’ll fill you in on as a reader of Nourish The Dream that other folks don’t know about: we’re going to do some real “hands-on” stuff in this last session. In fact: we’re going to get a volunteer (or 2) and lay out a killer marketing strategy for them as a group. This will create some amazing take-aways for the people who need to get results quickly in their businesses! If that’s you… don’t miss it!

This last session will only be happening once: on Saturday the 26th at 3:30pm.

There will also be a couple of other unique opportunities for us to interact, including a lunch with Gary Keesee and all the speakers (separate registration is required for that) on Friday, as well as a late night rapid-fire Q&A Session Friday night.

The event will be held at The Now Center in New Albany, which is on the Northeast side of Columbus. Get the rest of the details and register for the conference here.

I’ll look forward to seeing you there!

This week, Nourish The Dream founder David G. Johnson, CEO of Epiphany Marketing, LLC,  is appearing as a special guest on the popular Faith Life Now broadcast with Gary and Drenda Keesee.

On this television program, which airs on the Daystar and NRB television networks, hosts and entrepreneurs Gary & Drenda Keesee talk with David about the opportunities that exist right now — especially in these changing times — for believers to tap into the creativity of God and establish mechanisms for creating wealth.

To view this program, check the broadcast schedule for air times or watch the program online at Faith Life Now.

Kingdom Thoughts is being offered this week on the Faith Life Now broadcast

In connection with the program, Gary & Drenda are making David’s 5-disc teaching series, “Kingdom Thoughts” available to viewers at a very special price. If you’ve ever wanted to get your hands on this teaching series, now is the time to take advantage of the offer and enjoy a substantial discount.

In this powerful teaching series, David talks about the internal struggles that believers face where wealth, money and business are concerned. He talks about the teachings that have unfortunately contributed to these difficulties, what the Bible actually says, and how to overcome these struggles and bulldoze the barriers to your business and financial success.

In addition to the substantial savings, Gary & Drenda Keesee are also adding a single-CD teaching from Gary’s ministry called, “The Parable of the Sower.” Gary’s unique perspective on this foundational teaching of Jesus will transform how you view wealth creation in the Kingdom.
