YOUR Help Needed to Spread the Word About AT1
This is a different kind of post.
Many of you have registered for the October 4-6 AT1 gathering in Portland, Oregon, this fall. AT1 will be a hope-filled, grace-centered event which motivates all who attend to be inspired by the theme “Christ Challenges Culture.” We aim to write a positive, Christ-focused next chapter in the Adventist story.
As AT1 is now five months away, we are embarking on the next phase of our event promotion. So far we have focused on promoting AT1 to our readers but we are now casting the net to the larger Adventist community.
If you’re in the media or have an audience or you have any ideas or connections or assets that might be valuable as we promote AT1, we would be deeply grateful if you would let us know how you can help. Just let us know who you are, what you’re willing to offer, what it might be good for, and how to be in touch.
You can do so by sending an email to atoday@atoday.org or clicking here to leave a comment.
