HALFTIME ACTIVITIES

Embracing God's calling and moving from success to significance.

What Is Halftime
Halftime, the book, has been an inspiration to me. Following the release of the book Halftime in 1994, Bob Buford received hundreds of calls from business and professional leaders who resonated with its message: multiply all God has given you, and in the process, give it back. The prevailing comments were, "This story was more about me than it was Bob, how do I implement what was encouraged?" and "Is there really life after success?" In 1998, Bob launched Halftime, the organization, to answer these questions and many others.  Mitch has been inspired by the book Halftime which was part of the 12 month reading material of Joshua's Men, a program of The Gathering/USA Palm Beach County.

The mission of Halftime is to inspire business and professional leaders to embrace God's calling and move from success to significance. Bob often challenges halftimers by asking them, "Do you want to get to the end of your life, stand before God and hear Him say...'So what?' No, you want Him to tell you 'Well done.'"

Mission Emanuel

www.missionemanuel.org

Mission Emanuel is an ongoing Dominican Republic outreach ministry of The Gathering, USA, Inc., a non-profit organization that has brought together missionaries from around the world dedicated to improving the lives of the Dominican people by providing health care, education, better living conditions and spreading the Good News of Jesus Christ.  For several years, Mission Emanuel has been led by a group of dedicated Christians whose main concern was the physical and spiritual welfare of the people of the town of Nazaret and the surrounding communities.  Approximately 4 times a year, teams from the US travel to the Dominican to work in and around the community.  The physical labor that needs to be done always seems to get done, but hearts are restored in the process.
