Announcing a World-Wide Contest to Save More Souls
I have been praying for several weeks for guidance about how I could serve God better. Last night the answer came to me, and I want to share with you what I learned and invite you to join me on an exciting spiritual quest!
As you may already know, God called me in 1995 to begin a project to help the world make 400 years worth of normal progress in the 20 years between 2015 and 2035. With His help, the outlines of the answer are now clear to me, and I'll be sharing the answers with anyone who wants to know them just as fast as I can between now and 2015. If you want to read more about this project, go to http://www.fastforward400.com
One of the first steps in the project was to publish The 2,000 Percent Solution (see http://www.2000percentsolution.com ) which describes how to accomplish 20 times the current results with the same effort and resources.
Since that book was published, I've been helping people learn how to implement that productivity-enhancing process in their chosen fields. I have been fortunate to attract a number of Christian missionaries among my students. They have made me aware of the many ways in which Christian work can be made more productive. For instance, the various Protestant churches don't share information with one another very effectively in terms of the support they provide for missionaries in far-away places. As a result, some missions receive aid from a different denomination almost every day (often duplicating what was done the day before) while other missions haven't seen any aid in years. Frequently, the aid that is provided is poorly chosen for helping with the actual needs.
Yesterday, I was very moved by Bill Keller's powerful devotional about how the only lasting legacy we can truly have is to help souls be saved. Those gains are stored up forever in Heaven.
Here's what God told me to do last night: He told me to launch a contest to find better ways to save souls through Jesus by using the 2,000 percent solution process and then to publicize what is learned as widely as possible.
Will you join me please in this worthy task? May God bless you richly when you do!
Here are the prizes:
1. God will appreciate and bless your faithfulness in serving His purposes.
2. The person who provides the best solution will join me as a co-author of a book called The 2,000 Percent Solution for Saving Souls. All profits and royalties from this book will be donated for implementing the solution described in the book.
3. The 101 next best solutions will be featured along with credit for the solutions in a book that I will edit called 101 Great Solutions for Saving More Souls. All profits and royalties from this book will be donated for implementing the solutions described in the book.
Here are the contest details:
1. To enter, you must register by March 31, 2007. All you have to do is to send an e-mail to this address ( save_more_souls@yahoo.com ). The purpose of registration is to be able to send you further instructions as needed and to help start a community among those who are interested in this subject.
All those who register will receive free copies of the e-books for The 2,000 Percent Solution and The 2,000 Percent Solution Workbook to help you in creating your 2,000 percent solution.
2. To be considered for one of the prizes, you must send your 2,000 percent solution to this address ( save_more_souls@yahoo.com ) by Easter 2007 (April 8).
3. Each solution must be less than 5,000 words and be written in English.
4. The following format is required:
a. A definition of the 2,000 percent solution you are proposing and how this solution will save souls 20 times more effectively with the same time and resources
b. A description of the "stalled thinking" (see Part One of The 2,000 Percent Solution for examples of stalled thinking) you wish to overcome
c. A step-by-step analysis of the proposed solution employing each of the 8 steps in the 2,000 percent solution process (see Part Two of The 2,000 Percent Solution and all of The 2,000 Percent Solution Workbook for detailed descriptions of how to do this)
d. Evidence that the solution works based on experience with applying the solution
5. The entrants agree to forgo any royalties or profit from the publication of their ideas in the two books and to allow their solutions to be published and publicized
6. The decisions of the judges are final
7. Solutions that achieve more than 20 times increases in effectiveness versus best practices on August 26, 2006, are applicable to more unsaved people, which can be applied by more Christians, and have superior track records of success will be considered as superior by the judges.
8. Any changes or clarifications in the rules will be published here so that they can be seen by registered registrants.
Other ways you can contribute if you do not register to compete include:
1. I plan to form a non-profit foundation to own these copyrights and to distribute the funds earned by the publications to aid the solutions devised. I need volunteers with experience in these areas to set up the legal, tax and accounting structures properly and to serve on the foundation board.
2. Assuming that I will receive lots of entries, I'll need help in preliminary evaluations of the entries. This will involve checking the entries to see if they meet the criteria.
3. I need a panel of judges to evaluate the entries to choose the winners.
Please send your questions to me at save_more_souls@yahoo.com I'll look forward to hearing from you!
May God bless you, your family, and all you do!!

Nope that most likely never occurred to him, or to them (the participants)
Hello, Phil and Jamie!
Thanks for taking the time to read this blog. You might find it helpful to see the solutions that God provided by reading the two books for free that are listed in the post for January 25, 2010:
