From NGL's Indy 500 Headquarters

Dear NGL Brothers,

It was the Kentucky Derby, 1988. Swinging NGL’s 35 foot long diesel coach into a 15 foot wide alley between two brick buildings. A tall order for any man.

But that year, a Honda Civic parked in the entrance.

A non-issue for NGL guys. Eight burly, bearded, broad-shouldered men exited the bus, surrounded the Civic, and lifted it out of the way. The busload of men roared in victory … and the Civic’s car alarm wailed for the next 20 minutes.

Yes, brothers, we can do anything when we put our hearts and shoulders into it.

It’s time to put our shoulders into it—recruiting and gathering men for Indy. It’s a busy month and a busy church season, but the date of our departure draws near. Time for a big, final push as we enlist men for this life-changing event.

Please see below for this week’s Hot Tips for Recruiting. And, let’s continue to put our shoulders to praying for our event.

It won’t be long now, brothers. Looking forward to seeing you soon. Thank you for your broad shoulders for God’s Kingdom.

In Jesus our Lord,

Mark Jordan
NGL Advisory Board & Administration

This week’s Hot Tips for Recruiting. Here are things some of our men and churches are doing:

1. Facebook. Make a appeal and invitation to your Facebook friends. Please copy and past NGL’s Indy 500 link (below) on your FB page. Great logo, and a link to the NGL website for more info.

2. Email List. Shoot an email to every man in your email address book. A personal invite is meaningful and effective. Be sure to include NGL’s website: nogreaterlove.org.

3. Sunday Saturation. Some men are photocopying stacks of the attached postcards (click here) and placing them in every seat in the sanctuary and Sunday School classes in their church this weekend.

4. Immediate Registration.

- Please register yourself! NGL Administration is busy assigning leadership roles and small groups. We need to know we can count on you.

- Please register your group! Please take the responsibility of seeing that men from your area are registered on the NGL website, nogreaterlove.org.

- Please be a regional leader! Use the materials attached in our two previous emails to “set up shop” and organize men from your community.

Thanks, men. We’re all in this together—shoulder to shoulder.
