Ariz. church uses pingpong balls to track outreach
PHOENIX (BP) -- Like some other churches around the country, Valley Life Church in the Tramonto neighborhood of Phoenix has adopted the "Who's Your One?" evangelism initiative promoted by the North American Mission Board and Southern Baptist Convention President J.D. Greear. But Valley Life may be the only church using pingpong balls to mark their progress. When the church adopted Who's Your One, they set up a visual display to showcase the movement's success -- a clear box containing different colored pingpong balls. Each color signifies a portion of the church's reach -- white balls represent invitations to church, green stands for intentional Gospel conversations and orange denotes baptisms.
