Matthias Media

Here's an email I received from Matthias Media that I thought was worth passing along. These are folks and resources it's worth getting to know:

Dear Friends...

Exciting news for North American customers!

1. Our new online store is now open

You can find, browse, and securely order Matthias Media resources 24/7. This store has prices in $US—so there will be no more having to do the mental arithmetic trying to work out what $AUS prices equate to in ‘real money’. The store is secure and your credit card details are not stored online. So it is a very safe way to shop. Plus you will enjoy cheaper and faster delivery direct from our US office.

Of course, you are always welcome to phone our US office if you need more information or advice, but we think you'll find the online store a quick and efficient way to order materials, particularly when you already know what you need.

The resources are categorized in the same way online as in our Pastor's Resource Guide (and all future printed catalogues). So we hope you'll be able to quickly find the resources you want.

2. Matthias Media USA conference

In October, we're flying over Phillip Jensen and Tony Payne from Sydney to Washington DC. They will share a platform with Mark Dever at the very first Matthias Media conference in North America.

The conference is from 30 October to 1 November 2007, and we've called it ‘Gospel Growth vs Church Growth: understanding the difference sets you free’.

It promises to be a fantastic conference. Phillip Jensen will be at his provocative best, and there will be plenty of practical ministry ideas for pastors and leaders to take away.

As Kent Hughes says:

I can think of no other person who can speak with greater authority on ‘Gospel Growth vs. Church Growth’ than Phillip Jensen, Dean of St. Andrew's Cathedral, Sydney. Phillip Jensen's profound understanding of the gospel and how to evangelize has for decades effected a dynamic ministry, not only in Australia but around the world. My advice is to rearrange your calendar and, by all means, attend the conference at Capitol Hill Baptist, October 30-November 1.

For more information, go to the conference website:

We hope we will meet some of you at the conference!

Yours faithfully,

Marty Sweeney
