This book "Marketing for the Modern Mindset: A Definitive Guide to Church Marketing" is a valuable resource for pastors and leaders looking to stay ahead of the curve in todays fast pace digital landscape. With its blend of strategic insight, practical advice and biblical examples, this book equips individuals with the tools needed to think outside the box in reaching people who are spiritually lost and who need a savior to lead them into their destiny. I am forever grateful for Lawrence teaching our church how to dream again.
Lawrence met with our church's leadership team for several months and shared how the marketing principles could help us better reach our community.
