 TESTIMONIALS
Here's what people are saying...
ServeCoach has been indispensable in helping us lead the church to be more outward focused. The interviews, resources, ideas have all generated an excitement about "showing God's love in practical ways, no strings attached" by doing acts of kindness. Keep up the good work.
David F..
Georgia, USA

Here's the deal. I was really feeling defeated and bummed. I got connected to this website and I feel like I've been revived. I felt like there was only one other person in my entire church that really understood how I was feeling because he was feeling the same way. I watched an interview and am working on another one and boy was it just what I needed to see and hear. I had all but given up, but now I have renewed hope and I'm hanging in there! So thanks Serve Coach team!
Tamara B.

Whether you're just starting out or have been doing outreach for years, ServeCoach is a fantastic site. There are so many resources and ideas, I can barely keep up. I first joined thinking I would look through everything, get what I needed, and cancel after a month.  But ServeCoach has proven to have much more than I thought, and very valuable to the ministry I serve in.

Steve Sjogren has been coaching leaders for as long as I’ve known him over twenty-plus years. He’s a catalytic leader, challenging “status quo” views of everything from church growth to evangelism methodologies to leadership paradigms.

Steve’s hyper-creativity and genuine love for “not-yet-believers” provide the one-two punch for effective ministry. I’ll never forget the words of a churchplanter who once told me, “After spending time with Steve, I always feel more courageous!”

And who wouldn’t want to be mentored by The Father of Servant Evangelism?
Dave Workman

I first heard of Steve Sjogren when my wife read his first book, Conspiracy of Kindness and got fired up about water giveaways and it ignited us to find more ways to serve our community and the people around us. We just got our hands on anything that would be of a value to anyone else and gave it away - Just to show God's love in a practical way and told people, if there is anything you need let us know - no strings attached... and here we are, 14 years later! That is a timeless truth - Showing God's love in practical ways with no strings attached.

Steve has helped create this culture of serving - doing what it takes to show people God's love in practical ways. We have seen a lot of people come to Christ and made the decision to cross that line in faith... I think this is due to people getting outside the walls of the church and these creative serving ideas - a lot of them came right out of things that Steve has taught us. Just reaching into the community and making a difference. We get up in the morning thinking about who is hurting, who has loss, who is going through something and how can we figure out a way to let them know that they matter to God. That is what Servant Evangelism is all about!

Steve’s out-of-the-box thinking and decades of real-world practice makes him a Christian leader worth listening to. Pay attention to Steve; the church will never be the same.

I’ve known Steve Sjogren for over two decades as a friend, a very successful church planter, and a massively influential leader not only among American churches, but across the world.

Steve’s passionate focus on moving the church outward into the community and his contagious enthusiasm for reaching lost people has influenced my life and the lives of thousands of other pastors and leaders.

Steve’s out-of-the-box thinking and decades of real-world practice makes him a Christian leader worth listening to.  Pay attention to Steve; the church will never be the same.
