I've Moved

I know it has been a while since I posted anything here. The reason is that I've been in the process of moving from Danville, VA. I am no longer preaching in Danville but I am still doing the Bible Q-n-A program and managing the various associated web sites:

http://blog.bibleqna.org
http://normsnotes.normfields.com
http://gospeltentmeeting.com
http://pnblog.preachernorm.net/

I am now preaching for the Bawcomville church of Christ in West Monroe, LA. The elders of the Bawcomville congregation are also now overseeing the Bible Q-n-A work. I have made a post to the Bible Q-n-A blog with more background about the move. You are certainly free to call me if you have any questions about the move.

Here is the new contact information for supporters of the Bible Q-n-A program:

Bawcomville Church of Christ
ATT: Bible Q-n-A
P.O. Box 3057
West Monroe LA 71294
(Be sure to put "Bible Q-n-A" in the memo field of the check).

I'm still not quite settled in and so the posts won't be coming with the regularity that I would like, just yet. I hope to start making weekly posts with regular updates about the Bible Q-n-A program very soon.

In His Service,
Norm

A Milestone For Bible Q-n-A

Over 50,000 video views in less than 12 months on YouTube!

I just got home from out of town and checked the Bible Q-n-A stats on YouTube. The current play count is 50,416 in only ten months. This is a fantastic milestone as the majority of these viewers are not members of the church. Keep in mind too that this number does not include the same person watching the same video several times. These are unique plays by different people. Also, a good number of these viewers have watched the videos because members of the church have referred them to the site. I am so thrilled that Bible Q-n-A is a useful tool for your individual evangelistic efforts. 

I am also very thankful for all the brethren that have been such a great help to me in answering the comments that have been posted to the videos. I get dozens of emails every day and there is no way I could keep up with them alone. I greatly appreciate those who are helping me in this area. Not surprisingly, the Bible Q-n-A videos on YouTube have become a rallying point for those who want to debate biblical doctrine. The most played and discussed video remains "An Honest Baptist" (3,629 unique plays at this posting). Be sure to check it out if you haven't seen it yet.

The program continues to grow in its outreach. The next goal is to raise the needed support to do pay-per-click advertising on Google and Yahoo. Then, for example, anytime a person did a search on a word like "Bible" or "Baptist" I could have a specific Bible Q-n-A video placed at the top of the search results. If you would like to help in this endeavor please contact me. 

And to the current supporters, I couldn't have done it without you! Thank you.

New Portal Website

I have posted a new web site that will serve as a portal to all the other websites. Please bookmark www.NormFields.com and check it frequently for updates to all of my sites.

Full Questionnaire Added To Doctrinal Statement

I have just added a full questionnaire to the Doctrinal Statement entry. I'll include it here also. 

Local Evangelism With Bible Q-n-A

I received a very large amount of international correspondence from the Bible Q-n-A videos online. The congregation in Danville also sends out BCCs all over the country from contacts generated by the Bible Q-n-A program. If there is any question about whether Bible Q-n-A generates interest among the viewers just take a minute to brows the comments on both www.BibleQnA.org and www.youtube.com/preachernorm. Since September '07, less than ten months ago, the Bible Q-n-A videos have generated nearly 45,000 unique views on YouTube and are being viewed by large numbers every day on the BibleQnA.org web site from all over the world.

I have said all of this to encourage you to consider Bible Q-n-A as a resource for your local evangelism. I am now offering branded 30-minute episodes for $50 per episode. "Branded" means that each episode will have the contact information for the local congregation ordering the videos inserted right into each episode. When I answer questions on the program submitted by your local viewers, those clips will be inserted into your episodes for your local viewers. You will also receive a digital version of the "Bible Q-n-A Monthly" magazine, also branded with the local contact information, for printing and distribution to the local community. 

I can also produce commercials for local events like Gospel Meetings and BCC offerings to be inserted right into your branded episodes of Bible Q-n-A. All you have to do is send me the necessary media and information and I will produce your commercial and insert it into the appropriate episodes.

Ordering congregations will receive a broadcast ready DVD with each month's episodes. You can deliver the DVD to the airing studio, local cable access is the most economical option, to run in your purchased air time for that month.

If you would like more information about how you can use Bible Q-n-A for your local evangelism please don't hesitate to contact me. I'll be happy to help with finding the best broadcast options for your area.

Thanks,
Norm

Update On The Work

I just wanted to post a quick update to the work.
  • We are currently helping with a tent meeting in Madison, NC that began on June 23 and will continue thru July 4. We are going out door-knocking every day from 9 to 12 and then back for the meeting at 7 PM. There have been a good number of visitors every night resulting in home Bible studies with some.
  • In October I will be in Commerce, GA for a gospel meeting from 10/5 to 10/8 - please see www.BibleQnA.org for more information about this meeting.
  • In December I will be in Nepal teaching Apologetics at the Himalaya Bible Institute. The exact dates have not been determined yet but I will be there for about three weeks.
  • Of course I am still doing the weekly live TV broadcast and live netcast of Bible Q-n-A. I have also added a monthly magazine to the Bible Q-n-A line-up. Be sure to check out www.BibleQnA.org for more.
  • The evangelism training program at the Martinsville church is taking a break during the tent meeting. When we start back I will continue my classes on Hermeneutics and Homiletics. I teach there every Wednesday from 8 AM to 4 PM between the two classes.
Please let me know if you have any questions about any of the work or if you are interested in helping out with the upcoming trip to Nepal.

Thanks,
Norm
