Streaming audio 12% of US mobile data traffic
Streaming audio now accounts for 12 per cent of mobile data volume in North America, with internet radio particularly popular, according to a report issued by Citrix ByteMobile.
With 4G only just reaching commercial maturity 5G is still very much something that remains to be defined. But in this glimpse of the future MCI looks at the access and core technologies that may shape the industry of tomorrow.
Global mobile traffic is expected to grow nearly 11-fold over the next four years, according to research conducted by networking kit vendor Cisco.
Streaming audio now accounts for 12 per cent of mobile data volume in North America, with internet radio particularly popular, according to a report issued by Citrix ByteMobile.
Chinese operator China Unicom has announced a 92 per cent year on year increase in mobile data usage, attributing the growth in part to the availability of low-cost smarpthones. In an earnings release posted late last week, Unicom referenced an improvement in its smartphone "quality to price ratio".
Comviva's Mobile Data Platform Spurs Mobile Data Traffic Growth in Emerging Markets
Introduces its unique data packages for operators to bolster data traffic towards increased ARPU
- Enables 70% improvement in download speed
- 50% reduction in Total Cost to Operator through MDP
In the last 48 hours that I have been in Dubai with the purpose of attending the ME Telco event, I am hearing a lot, I must say overloaded on the topic "Mobile Data". It's Data, Data, everywhere, a hot topic globally more so in the MENA region, given the proliferation of smart devices, smart networks and a smart subscriber base that is looking for change. I hosted a closed door seminar yesterday wherein my close engagement with the Mobile Operator community has resulted in me sharing the thoughts below.
There's no rest for a busy network. With video now accounting for the lion's share of mobile data traffic on wireless networks, peak demand has become an almost all-day phenomenon, running from noon to midnight daily.
The word on the wires Tuesday morning is of growing support for a consumer protest against O2 UK's recent decision to introduce tiered data tariffs and do away with unlimited offerings.
O2's decision to switch from an unlimited model to one tiered based on usage is of no surprise to those that have studied mobile data usage patterns. Just like AT&T in the US, O2 UK had become the industry poster-child of the capacity crunch era.
The floodgates have opened, as UK carrier O2 becomes the latest operator to put an end to all you can eat data. New and upgrading smartphone users will be affected, making the move rather timely in light of the imminent launch of the iPhone 4.
Good news for existing smartphone users on the O2 UK network, but it's more likely the impending arrival of the iPhone 4 later this month was the kick the carrier needed to improve its data network in the capital.
Maybe the Informer's just getting old and the revisiting of his former beliefs is all a part of that process. But he's sometimes astonished to discover that things he firmly supported around 15 – 20 years ago (tie dye, gypsies, the Levellers, etc…) no longer have his backing. Take the internet for example. For much of that last 15 – 20 years, the Informer, in various incarnations, has been fed and sheltered by producing content for the tubes. And the vast majority of that content has been given away for free.
The unlimited data cull continues, with US carrier AT&T calling time on its flat rate all you can eat offering from June 7.
It's an often heard observation in the industry that mobile data has become a victim of its own success. The unlimited data offerings used to drive 3G adoption have resulted in an unsustainable business model, with the result that operators are now scrambling to revise their usage terms and introduce new billing schemes. Vodafone UK issued one such warning to its consumers this week.
Dr. Constantine Polychronopoulos, founder and chief technology officer of mobile internet infrastructure specialist Bytemobile talks about the extent of the problem caused by the mobile data boom and the solutions available to operators.
As more 3G and WiMAX wireless broadband services are deployed across Asia Pacific a clear trend is emerging of operators ditching all-you-can-eat plans in order to protect the performance levels of their networks, but how will this trend affect the shape of the broadband market?
Global mobile data traffic surpassed voice during December of 2009, after growing 280 per cent during each of the last two years. According to Swedish vendor Ericsson, which published the figures, global mobile data traffic is forecast to double annually over the next five years.
The surge in mobile data and broadband traffic in advanced markets over the last couple of years is something of a double-edged sword. While it has finally validated carriers' long-held strategic thinking, it has exposed gaps in their network performance.
Rory Buckley, CEO of mobile data services firm Acision,talks about how operators make money from data, the explosive growth of mobile data services and the importance of flat rate data pricing.
The Holy Grail for analytics will be its ability to form predictions of what is likely to happen in the near future, based on historical and circumstantial facts.

I really love this shampoo! I use the EverSleek conditioner as well, and my hair feels so much healthier. I have very long hair and instead of feeling thin, straw-like, and wispy, my hair feels dense, heavy/swingy, and very healthy. Yes it might build up over time but my hair was so dry and fly-away, that it really needs some build up! I have used many of the high end salon brands for $25 a bottle, and I am MUCH happier with this. I will definitely purchase again!

There are two shampoos in this line. I use the one for dry hair. It come in a clear tube. Honestly, im not really impressed with this shampoo because its consistency is like water, therefore you have to use more. I run out of this stuff really quickly and for the price, I honestly dont think its worth it. Also, unless you use a clarifying shampoo every week, this stuff will not clean your hair enough and you'll end up with limp roots. This did increase the shine of my hair and was all natural but wont repurchase because of price. Overall I liked it though.

I LOVE this shampoo. I started growing out my straight perm about a year and a half ago, and I've been struggling to find a shampoo that would cater to both my natural hair and the 4 inches of treated hair at the ends. This shampoo worked wonders for me. For the first time in months, my hair is shiny, soft, and manageable.
For the people who say they experience dry scalp - that is because your scalp is so used to having heavy moisturising chemicals rubbed into it. It's reacting how the skin on your face would if you stopped using a heavy moisturiser in favour of a lighter one. If the problem continues, though, you can just do a weekly olive oil treatment (just rub some extra virgin olive oil into your scalp, leave over night, and wash out in the morning) and you'll be good to go!

This shampoo has wrecked my hair after only three uses. If I could give it zero stars, I would. Or negative stars!
After using it, my fine, curly hair was more frizzy (so much for 48-hour frizz control!), limp, and dirty-looking than I've ever seen it. It also felt really greasy. I gave it three chances, just in case this was some sort of acclimatization problem, but I shouldn't have. This product just sucked for me. And my hair still doesn't look right, days after switching back to my old shampoo (Nature's Gate, which is a genuine hippie shampoo without SLS or silicone) - I guess this is what I get for straying!

I only used this once, so I honestly can't say what the long term effects are, if it protects color well or dries out my hair like other reviewers state. But the smell was enough to make me want to take it right back to the store. It reminded me of being in the dentist's office. It seemed to clean well without stripping. I did like the
packaging with the flip top and tube.
Edit: just realized I wrote the review for the wrong shampoo; I used the eversleek moisture for color treated hair in the pinkish tube.

I was using Pantene for years, but just stopped as I was told that Pantene is "famous" for causing frizzies and I've had frizz problems for ages! Flyaways are also a major issue for my hair. I just started using the EverSleek, both shampoo and conditioner. I've only used them twice so not much of a history to draw on, however I was very pleased immediately with the results: much less frizz and hardly any flyaways. The down side is that my hair now feels greasy and it is also very flat. My hair is long, quite straight, but with a bit of wave to it, however as a result of using the EverSleek, it's now just straight and flat! I've noticed many of the previous reviews have mentioned dryness as a consequence of this product. But no one has mentioned greasiness. As I said, I've only used the product twice, and it has helped both the frizz and flyaways, however I don't like the feel of my hair at all. I suppose this is the trade-off for eliminating the frizz/flyaways. However I don't know if I'll buy the product again.

I wanted a sulfate-free shampoo/conditioner, but I was tired of the high prices I was paying. When this came onto the market, I had color treated hair and was using the EverPure. I immediately fell in love with it. But since I've been growing my hair out to donate it, I wanted a different product. My hair is very long and stick-straight, but it would always look like there was frizzy breakage and I could never tame it. I hated the idea of using silicone treatments, as I've been told time and time again they can get to a point where they do not wash out of your hair. I tried this version of the Ever shampoos and was immediately hooked. Not only did it smell awesome, it smoothed my hair out nicely. After I dry it, I brush through it with an ion-charged brush (to tame fly-aways) and my hair looks so shiny, smooth and well, beautiful! I AM getting tired of the long, hippy hair look and can't wait to cut it and send it off to Locks of Love, but I'll still be using this shampoo.
Update 12/26/11: I went to have my hair cut, and the woman cutting my hair said I had a dry scalp and asked if it was itchy. I was so sad. :( I guess I'll be changing my shampoo again.

First of all, I'm really surprised to hear that so many people have had allergic reactions to this shampoo. I have experienced an allergic reaction to pretty much every drugstore shampoo out there--Pantene, Herbal Essences, Sunsilk, Aussie, you name it--except this one. No scalp issues, no other skin reactions....I was so happy to have found this because I now have a cheaper option when I don't have to money to buy my favorite Matrix products.
Second of all, I have EXTREMELY thick and currently damaged hair (growing out highlights). This stuff, along with the matching conditioner, makes my hair feel thinner, more manageable, and less frizzy... YES! The scent took a little while for me to get used to (smelled musky at first), but I actually really like it now.
Different reactions for different people I guess... but I hope they keep this product out for a while just for me!

I bought this a few weeks ago. I usually wash my hair every day or every second day. It depend on how tired I am. Anyway, the end of my hair is a little wavy and I have very frizzy hair. After the first wash I noticed I have dandruff. I had it before so I wasn't supriesed but I didn't had a long time ago. Than I used it again and again and my dandruff got worse. I don't know if I'm allergic to something that this shampoo has or what but for now my scalp is very itchy and it's driving me crazy. It also didn't made my hair any sleek so it didn't do anaithing for me. hate it...

I bought this product for the sulfate free. Not doing any resurch into it. after useing a week and a half, every other day! My hair is corse, thick, wavy, curly, and straight pices mostly on the crown of my head were it is the thickest. I color it to. Like I stated after useing it my hair did com soft, shinny, I also used the instyler tool wich made it even look in better shap. It did do what it is advertised to do. Just over time of use it went down hill to were my hair was breaking off for it would strech when wet (wich is a good indacator it is healty) then break off. Now I have thick thined hairthat looks like crap. I had used the Panten beautiful lenghts to get it all an even lengh and thick. I had a national pag. in Oct. Hair condition is of up most to what I do. To have flyaways do to hair being treated with oils only will dry out for this L'Oreal has alchol that is the drying efect. It did give me the bad head itch and flacks that were big enough to see in blond hair. Going back to what I usedn even though it does not sleek it. But I want to keep what I have!

"Tips for the Traveling Terrorist"
"Underwear should be the normal type that people wear, not anything that shows you're a fundamentalist." Suggestions lifted from the laptop on how to pass unnoticed in the West.
In the autumn of 2001 I was one of scores of journalists who ventured into northern Afghanistan to write about the U.S.-assisted war against the Taliban. As I crossed the Hindu Kush to cover the fighting for The Wall Street Journal, my journey took what looked like a fatal turn: the battered black pickup truck I had rented—which in its better years had been a war wagon for Afghan gunmen—lost its brakes as it headed down a steep mountain path, careened along the edge of a gorge, slammed headlong into the back of a Northern Alliance fuel truck that was creeping down the mountain, and slid to rest on its side in the middle of the road. My bags spilled down the mountainside or were crushed beneath the pickup.
Fortunately, none of the pickup's occupants—a Japanese journalist, two Afghan interpreters, the driver, and a shoeless boy who had been riding on the roof and wiping dust from the windshield—was seriously injured. Only my interpreter, a Russian-speaking Afghan, seemed to be hurt; he clutched his side and said that something had hit him in the ribs. We nursed some cuts and bruises, and climbed aboard a Northern Alliance truck carrying wooden crates of Kalashnikov ammunition.
"Letters From a Young Martyr"
Farewell letters and poems found on the laptop from a young man selected for a suicide mission.
The wreck might have been just a minor bump in my travels through a land where inhabitants display a whoopsy-daisy attitude toward fatal accidents and killings. But a day later, after bedding down forty miles north of Kabul, I asked my interpreter what had hit him in the ribs. He said it was my computer, which he'd always held in his lap for safekeeping. I got up and removed the computer from its black bag, opened its lid, and saw that the screen was smashed. In the coming weeks, living in a fly-infested hut, I scrawled stories by candlelight with a ballpoint pen and read dispatches to my editors over a satellite phone.
That crash became memorable for reasons I never expected. When the Taliban's defenses crumbled, in November of 2001, I joined a handful of malnourished correspondents who rushed into Kabul and filed stories about the city's liberation. We pounced like so many famished crows on the first Western staples we had seen since leaving home: peanut butter, pasteurized milk, and canned vegetables, all of which we found on Chicken Street, Kabul's version of a shopping district. We raided the houses where Arab members of al-Qaeda had been holed up during their stay in Afghanistan, grabbing whatever documents were left in their file cabinets. But unlike most correspondents, I needed to spend some time getting to know Kabul's computer dealers, because I wanted to replace my laptop. It took about an hour to shake hands with all of them.
The regime that had forbidden television and kite-flying as un-Islamic had also taken a dim view of computers. I searched through the bazaars and found Soviet-era radios and television sets, but the electronics dealers had never even seen a computer, and certainly didn't know how to wire one to a satellite phone.
I found my first computer dealer in a drafty storefront office in downtown Kabul, near the city's central park. He worked alone and didn't have a computer in his office, because, he said, he couldn't afford one. He bragged that he was the sole computer consultant for the Afghan national airline, Ariana. This impressed me deeply—until I learned that Ariana had only one computer and only one working airplane.
He told me about another dealer, who ran a computer training school on the second floor of a building overlooking the park. I fumbled my way up a decrepit, unlit stairwell and along a dusty hallway to an office: a long room with a threadbare couch and a desk with a computer on it.
The second dealer told me that he had serviced computers belonging to the Taliban and to Arabs in al-Qaeda. I forgot about my own computer problems and hired him to search for these computers. Eventually he led me to a semiliterate jewelry salesman with wide-set eyes and a penchant for gold chains. This was the man who that December would take $1,100 from me in exchange for two of al-Qaeda's most valuable computers—a 40-gigabyte IBM desktop and a Compaq laptop. He had stolen them from al-Qaeda's central office in Kabul on November 12, the night before the city fell to the Northern Alliance. He wanted the money, he said, so that he could travel to the United States and meet some American girls.
My acquisition of the al-Qaeda computers was unique in the experience of journalists covering radical Islam. In the 1990s the police had seized computers used by al-Qaeda members in Kenya and the Philippines, but journalists and historians learned very little about the contents of those computers; only some information from them was released in U.S. legal proceedings. A much fuller picture would emerge from the computers I obtained in Kabul (especially the IBM desktop), which had been used by al-Qaeda's leadership.
On the night before Kabul fell, Taliban officials were fleeing the city in trucks teetering with their personal effects. The looter who sold me the computers figured that al-Qaeda had fled as well, so he crawled over a brick wall surrounding the house that served as the group's office. Finding nobody inside, he took the two computers, which he had discovered in a room on the building's second floor. On the door of the room, he said, was the name of Muhammad Atef—al-Qaeda's military commander and a key planner of 9/11. Each day, he said, Atef would walk into the office carrying the laptop in its black case. The looter knew he had something good.

 10/22/12 As part of the traveling Lincoln exhibit now at the Huffington Library, the Culver Academies' Global Studies Institute will host a Lincoln-related seminar Thursday, Oct. 25, at 7 p.m. featuring Nicole Etcheson, Ph.D., of Ball State University.
The seminar, titled "Swift, Zealous, Radical or Tardy, Cold, Indifferent? Abraham Lincoln as Great Emancipator," is free and will be held in the library's Presentation Room. The GSI brings scholars, policymakers, and thinkers to campus to engage students, faculty, and staff in discussing the challenges facing our global community.
The national traveling exhibit "Lincoln: The Constitution and the Civil War" opened Oct. 14 at the Huffington Library for a five-week stay ending Nov. 16. The Lincoln exhibit is free and open to the public Monday through Friday from 8 a.m. to 7 p.m., Saturdays from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m., and Sundays from noon to 7 p.m.
Etcheson is the Alexander M. Bracken Professor of History at Ball State University and the author of two books. She received a National Endowment for the Humanities in 2004 to begin research on A Generation at War: The Civil War Era in a Northern Community, released in October 2011. She also authored Bleeding Kansas: Contested Liberty in the Civil War Era.
Etcheson is also the author of numerous articles in professional journals as well as a frequent presenter at historical conferences.
She came to Ball State University with 12 years of organizational experience for National History Day at the local and state level, as well as 14 years as a teacher. She earned her bachelor's degree in history from Grinnell College, and her master's and doctoral degrees from Indiana University in U.S.-Latin American history.
Lincoln Exhibit Explores Constitutional Struggles
Composed of informative panels featuring photographic reproductions of original documents, such as a draft of Lincoln's first inaugural speech and the Emancipation Proclamation, the exhibit examines how President Lincoln struggled with issues of secession, slavery, and civil liberties — all questions the U.S. Constitution left unanswered. Each section features information about a different aspect of Lincoln's presidency. For example, the slavery portion examines the various policy options Lincoln once embraced and how his thoughts about slavery evolved over time.
Two other special programs are scheduled during the exhibit's five-week stay. These programs are also free and will be held in the library's Presentation Room.
• Nov. 6 (Election Night) at 7 p.m. – The GSI will host a seminar addressing "Lincoln's Constitution & Civil War: A pivotal point in becoming a world power." Guest speaker will be Valparaiso University's Samuel Graber, a Ph.D. in American Studies.
• Nov. 11 at 2 p.m. – The Academies championship Quiz Bowl team will take on a team of Academies' faculty/staff in a friendly competition focused on Lincoln, his presidency, and the Civil War.
The National Constitution Center and the American Library Association Public Programs Office organized the traveling exhibition, which was made possible by a major grant from the National Endowment for the Humanities (NEH): great ideas brought to life. The traveling exhibition is based on an exhibition of the same name developed by the National Constitution Center.

In 2006, SIDI introduced the Heel Security System®, first in a prototype Genius 6.6 ridden to victory in the Giro d'Italia and then as a technical feature on four of SIDI's top production shoes. This elegantly simple solution addressed a critical aspect of performance fit, virtually eliminating power-robbing heel lift.
The Adjustable HSS® reinforces the top of the heel cup, and adjusts to securely close the back of the shoe around the rider's heel, just above the calcaneus (heel bone). The Adjustable HSS® provides 6 mm of lateral adjustment on either side of the heel, improving power transfer and comfort by eliminating heel lift. Turning the HSS® adjustment screws counterclockwise tightens the heel retention device; a clockwise turn of the screw opens up the heel area. Each side of the heel can be adjusted independently for an absolutely perfect fit.
Like most SIDI small parts, the Adjustable HSS® is replaceable, and also available as an aftermarket upgrade for some 2007 thru 2009 SIDI models.

Author's Notes:
[1] The kanji for Ogura is the same as Kokura. Kokura near Moji, on the Shimonoseki Straits, has long been an oil tank farm location. It is possible that although western records, almost without exception, record the name as Ogura the correct name may be Kokura. Thanks go to Gilbert Casse of France. - Bob Hackett and Peter Cundall.

I've written previously that the history of mobile has been a long, painful process of copying desktop computers and then sheepishly realizing that it just doesn't quite work right. This is actually the way of all progress, not just in technology. Art and music follow a similar pattern of copy, extend, and finally, discovery of a new form. It takes a while to shed old paradigms.
Mobile apps are clearly successful and in some cases, very profitable. For me to say they MUST die appears to fly in the face of overwhelming evidence. But all things come and go, especially so in fast paced world of technology. When a paradigm shift occurs it's rarely because the old model is hated or even useless, it just can't take advantage of new opportunities. The old guard clings to their ways, angrily shouting that everything is perfectly fine, you're exaggerating!
By Scott Jenson - May 9, 2011
In my previous article, The Coming Zombie Apocalypse, I discussed how small, cheap, web-connected devices are overturning our old-school assumptions about devices and applications. It was a general introduction to the trend, and I'd like to drill deeper in this article by focusing on a core building block of this new order: the ability to store user data in "the cloud."
I assume most readers are familiar with the concept of cloud computing, but it's a very broad concept encompassing a wide range of technologies. This article will focus on a core aspect, the storage of a user's data outside of their personal devices. This is a very disruptive shift that enables user experiences that would be impossible with only local storage, and creates a new facet of design: the UX of data.

Blog Post: The Death of Link Building and the Rebirth of Link Earning - Whiteboard Friday
Great post - some really useful insights here about acquiring links.
I would say however that (now you have opened this can of worms) tools such as OSE & Majestic SEO won't prove as useful as these tools are specifically created to show backlinks of competitiors who 8-9 times out have been adopting the 'link building strategy'. Realistically it is not really possible to find competitors that have been adopting a good 'link earning strategy'. The problem I find with these tools is that more cherry picking of good sites through competitors backlinks is needed but is also becoming more time consuming. I really think tools should be able to aid you with more of these link earning strategies. The tools like OSE & MJSEO need to be more specific and show exactly in what way the link may benefit your site.
For example, a tool that can just show competitors with hot content on their site that have earned lots of links, external content that has been placed on other sites and got links, a tool that can show a social network of influencers in order to help us contact and engage with. I think domain authority/page authority isn't enough any more and we also need to measure the power of content rather than just links.

If multi-site church was the big issue of the last five years, the general consensus is that the emergence of church mergers is the next big issue.
As I've often said, leading Mars Hill Church over the last fifteen years has been like being a kite in a hurricane. The amount of grace that God has poured out on us has been amazing and hard to keep up with at times.
In the last fifteen years, we've gone from a church comprising a handful of family members and friends in my living room to over 12,000 people meeting each Sunday at what will soon be fourteen different locations in four different states, with more on the horizon, Lord willing.
Most of the churches that comprise Mars Hill were the result of men who felt called to a specific area to plant a church. They approached the elders, explained where they felt God was leading them, and we all prayed and discussed the opportunity. The leaders went through a rigorous approval process to be installed as a pastor/elder, and only then were allowed to lead one of our churches.
Four of our churches, however, are a result of mergers.
Mars Hill Bellevue
In the mid-2000s, a Mars Hill elder planted church on the Eastside of the greater Seattle area called The Vine. This plant was led by a Mars Hill pastor at the time, Jesse Winkler. The Vine started with a small core group from Mars Hill and eventually grew to be somewhere between 100 to 200 people.
Many people from that area were still driving into Seattle to attend Mars Hill in Ballard, and the number of people grew so large that we decided to consider planting a church east of Seattle. We met with Winkler and asked him if he wanted to continue as an independent church with us planting another one far enough away from his church so as to not drain his people, or if he wanted to become a Mars Hill Church. He took some time to fast and pray, seeking God's will, and was convinced God was asking him to partner with Mars Hill to lead one church made up of people from The Vine and Mars Hill. The Vine church became Mars Hill Eastside in 2008, which eventually became Mars Hill Bellevue.
After the merger, the church saw immediate growth, going from 200 people to over 500 people almost overnight. Some Sundays, men were asked to stand outside in the wet and cold of Seattle to listen via speaker because we couldn't fit everyone into the small funeral home in which the church met for the multiple services. Since then, there has been much fruit, as Mars Hill Downtown Bellevue just moved into a new building in the heart of Downtown Bellevue and is seeing over 2,000 people worship Jesus and serve the surrounding community, hundreds of which are a result of new Christians who met Jesus and were baptized at Mars Hill Bellevue.
Additionally, Mars Hill Bellevue, along with some other Acts 29 churches, helped fund Westview Church in San Diego, California, with Pastor Jesse spearheading that plant. And the church has sent a core group of a couple hundred over to our newest location, Mars Hill Sammamish (which I'll talk about later in this post).
Mars Hill West Seattle
Mars Hill West Seattle was a result of conversations I had with Pastor Bill Clem, who now leads our Ballard church. Bill planted Doxa Fellowship in West Seattle after having served as the North American Director for Sonlife Ministries, a national discipleship ministry. The church was part of the Acts 29 network and running under 100 people when Bill and I began talking.
At the time, Bill's wife was diagnosed with cancer, from which she eventually passed away. I called up Bill to offer support for the tough battle he and his wife were facing, and I also asked if he'd be open to letting us use Doxa's building on Sunday mornings, as Doxa was only meeting on Sunday nights.
Eventually, as our church met in his building in the mornings, as we talked more and more, and as Bill's wife faced a continuing and difficult battle with cancer, Doxa decided to merge with Mars Hill and become part of our church. We gave Bill many months off, paid him a full salary, and let him care for his dying wife and get a break from the exhausting work he'd undertaken in planting a church with an often bedridden wife. Her funeral was held in the church building that Pastor Bill had been given, and once he was ready, he started working for Mars Hill and is now our lead pastor at our biggest church, Mars Hill Ballard. Additionally, he has published the book Discipleship for us, and is the Northwest regional director for Acts 29.
The old church building we inherited needed a lot of work. So, the people of Mars Hill generously gave $1.8 million in one massive special offering to renovate it. It's been a great transition over the last five years or so, with the church growing from less than 100 people to now well over 700 people coming together to worship Jesus and serve the West Seattle area, many of whom are new believers who've met Jesus and been baptized at Mars Hill West Seattle. Not only that, Mars Hill West Seattle has gone from being a church plant to planting churches, having planted Mars Hill Federal Way in 2009.
"As I look back in the rear view mirror," says Pastor Bill, "I'd do it all over again. Because I see where we're going and what [Doxa] was doing. That [Doxa] was following Jesus as [their] senior pastor."
Mars Hill Albuquerque
In 2009, Pastor Dave Bruskas, planter and lead pastor of City on a Hill in Albuquerque, New Mexico, began talks with us on merging the church he'd pastored for over 10 years with Mars Hill Church and becoming our first out of state church.
At the time, City on a Hill was running over a 275 people, healthy, and doing good ministry in their city. There was lots of discussion as to whether the merger was the right move, but as Pastor Dave relates, "One question rose above all the others as most important: 'Would more people meet Jesus if we went through with this?' After months of deliberation, the leaders of both churches unanimously answered that question with a resounding 'Yes!'"
The driving force behind the merger between Mars Hill Church and City on a Hill was one of shared mission. Our desire was to see as many people as possible in the city of Albuquerque meet Jesus, and we both felt strongly that this could be accomplished better together than apart.
God has been gracious to us. Today, Mars Hill Albuquerque has over 800 people meeting to worship together and serve their community each week. And we thank God that 250 people have met Jesus and been baptized at Mars Hill Albuquerque since the merger in 2009. Today, the church has outgrown its building and is officially replanting in a new larger building on December 11. Pastor Dave is now an executive elder at Mars Hill, the #2 ranking pastor in all of Mars Hill, and a tremendous gift to our church.
Mars Hill Sammamish
The newest church at Mars Hill is also the result of a merger between Evergreen Christian Fellowship in Sammamish, about 30 minutes east of Seattle, and Mars Hill. This is still breaking news, as it was announced just a few weeks ago and will be officially launched as Mars Hill Sammamish on January 15, 2012.
Evergreen Christian Fellowship (ECF) was a once larger church that was facing some financial difficulties as they had a newer building on over 10 acres on the plateau east of Bellevue, Washington. ECF was comprised about over 100 great, God-fearing, Bible-loving Christians who have a passion for the city of Sammamish and the surrounding area.
Facing some loses in leadership (they had no lead pastor) and some financial struggles, they reached out to us to see if a merger would be a possibility. It was a grace bomb that dropped out of nowhere for us.
Through our talks, we decided to merge, as we share the same biblical convictions and both share a commitment to the same mission of seeing as many people as possible on the Sammamish Plateau meet Jesus.
"Our ministry and our mission and vision statements have been very similar, so that's why we pursued Mars Hill," says Guy Dalrymple, who chaired ECF's transition team. "We had other options, but the core principles and the core doctrine between our two churches were very similar, and that's what was really enthusiastic and that's what drew us to Mars Hill."
We've not even launched yet, but the response has been amazing. Last Sunday, we installed the first roughly 100 members of Mars Hill Sammamish and nearly all of them were the former members of ECF. I preached there live, and we had 1,100 people! The church does not even launch officially until January 15, 2012, but it's rocketing off to an amazing start thanks in part to the hundreds of people from Mars Hill Bellevue who live nearby and moved over to Mars Hill Sammamish.
"This could have been a really sad story, a good church forced to shut its doors," says Sam DeLay, a Mars Hill leader who will serve on staff at the Sammamish location, "but God has redeemed that story. Together, we now have a great opportunity to serve this community for a long time."
Why the negativity?
A lot of people are uncomfortable with the idea of church mergers. For many, it seems "too corporate," "predatory," or "imperialistic." The usual story people have in mind is one larger church coming in and taking over a smaller church as if by force or coercion.
One major hurdle is the word "merger" itself. I can understand why many have a problem with this word, as in the business world a merger is often a stronger company coming in and engulfing a weaker, failing company, picking up all the good elements and assets and tossing aside all the broken elements and assets. These mergers in the business world are often messy, brutal, and devastating for many people as the larger company focuses on the bottom line for investors and shareholders.
On top of this, many church mergers in the past have had the same tenor. Generally, they've involved failing churches taken over by stronger churches—or even worse, two failing churches thinking that coming together will save them.
So, perhaps merger isn't the best word to use. Unfortunately, it's the only word that can be used that has some semblance of agreement for the time being. Though, I'd say that with today's wave of church mergers, it's been encouraging to see that rather than a business/corporate type merger, we're seeing what is akin to more like an adoption or marriage, depending on the situation—which is apt since the Bible speaks so much of the Church as a body and a family (Romans 12:3-6, 8:15-17, 23; Galatians 4:5, Ephesians 1:22-23; 4:12, 16; 5:30; Colossians 1:18, 24; 1 Corinthians 12:12-13, 27).
Missional Mergers
The mergers we've been a part of at Mars Hill, and some of the mergers other churches in the Acts 29 network have been a part of, have by God's grace been missionally focused mergers. By this I mean that they've been the result of two churches coming together to ask how they can work together to accomplish a shared mission, to see many people come to Jesus (Matthew 28:19-20). Underlying this is the belief that if Jesus' name is made much of in the building, then it does not much matter whose name is on the sign of the building.
Each of these mergers has had different details surrounding them. Sometimes there are financial struggles, such as with Sammamish. Other times, there is a devastating loss to the leadership, as with the case of Pastor Bill and his wife at Doxa. These mergers were akin to an adoption, where a hurting church in need was adopted by a healthy church to work together as brothers and sisters in Christ to the glory of God to accomplish his mission.
Sometimes there is simply a desire to be more effective and to have greater reach as a church, which leads healthy churches to join together to see greater impact for the gospel. Such was the case when we merged with City on a Hill in Albuquerque and with The Vine. These types of mergers are like marriages, in which two churches come together with strengths that complement each other to accomplish the mission of God. As within marriage, there is a leader in the merger, but unlike an adoption type merger, there is health on both sides.
Here's the painful truth—the calls we are getting lately from churches we have not yet merged with are often cases where the senior leadership was disqualified because of sin, often sexual. Once the leadership leaves, often the best people remain and try to save their church, and a merger is a way to help such people save their church from death.
Other calls we are getting are from churches where the leadership has gotten off-track theologically and moved into false teaching and error. These churches are seeking help to right their ship.
And, sometimes the pastors of smaller churches are so burdened by the administration of running their organization that they want to merge with a bigger church like ours so that we can take those burdens off them and allow them to focus on serving people and making disciples, which is why they went into ministry in the first place.
Often times the whole story behind a merger is not told because of the painful circumstances that need not be made public. As a pastor who loves churches and God's people, some of what I see and hear is heartbreaking, and if a merger can save a church from death and support godly people giving their all to keep yet another church from the grave, then I am certain it makes Jesus happy no matter what the critics may say.
In each case, the situation is never one of a larger church coming in to pick up the remains of a smaller church but rather of two churches wanting to be as faithful to God's calling as possible.
These types of mergers are not unique to Mars Hill and are, in fact, growing around the country. Leadership Network research has indicated that 2 percent (6,000 churches) of US Protestant churches merge annually, and another 5 percent of churches (15,000) say they have already talked about merging in the future.
The good news is that a vast majority of churches that have merged with a shared mission in mind have experienced new vitality and growth, seeing their influence and ability to minister in the community grow exponentially. This is something we can attest to at Mars Hill and something I've personally seen in many churches across the country.
Granted, these mergers are never without their hardships and struggles, but by God's grace they're resulting in a great harvest.
Facing the Facts
The reality is that church mergers will only continue to grow. As the baby boomers begin retirement, there will be a growing decline in Protestant churches in attendance and a very real need for leadership at declining churches. Unfortunately, the upcoming generation is not only smaller in numbers demographically, but also less likely to be involved in church, and especially less likely to be involved in church leadership and the ministry as a vocation, according to some sources. This is creating and will continue to create a great crisis in which many long-standing, God-fearing, and Bible-loving churches who have a great heritage and a history of gospel work in their city, face the prospect of closing their doors for good—often selling their property to commercial interests or even other religious expressions. And once those churches close, the zoning changes and a church may never be able to reside in that community again.
The following are some sobering statistics from the upcoming book by Warren Bird and Jim Tomberlin of the Leadership Network, entitled Better Together: Making Church Mergers Work. I thank them for sending me an advance copy of the manuscript and encourage you to read the book when it comes out in April.
Roughly 80 percent of the three hundred thousand Protestant churches in the United States have plateaued or are declining, and many of them are in desperate need of a vibrant ministry.
Roughly three thousand of these declining churches (1 percent of all churches in America) will close their doors permanently nationwide in the next twelve months.
Among the 20 percent of growing congregations across the United States, many are in desperate need of space. These conditions present a potential win-win for forward-thinking church leaders who believe that "we can do better together than separate," and it is revitalizing church topography.
Church foreclosures, virtually unheard of in the United States before the Great Recession of 2008, have recently increased in number. According to a Wall Street Journal report, nearly two hundred churches have had their properties foreclosed on by banks in 2008, 2009, and 2010, up from only eight foreclosures in the two years prior to that and none in the previous decade.
One recent study found that the percentage of congregations reporting some or serious financial difficulty more than doubled to nearly 20 percent since about 2000. From 2000 to 2008—before the recession's toll was felt—congregations reporting "excellent financial health" had dropped from 31 percent to 19 percent. They dropped further to 14 percent in 2010. The recession only exacerbated their economic situations, according to survey compiler David Roozen, director of The Hartford Institute for Religion Research.
The biggest elephant in church boardrooms in the United States is the topic of senior pastor succession. It is a difficult conversation for most aging senior pastors to have with their boards and staff, so usually it is ignored until too late. Many are predicting a tsunami of church turnovers during the next decade as the aging baby boomers turn over the reins of U.S. churches to the next generation. According to William Vanderbloemen, founder and president of the Vanderbloemen Search Group, senior pastor succession "might be the biggest unspoken crisis the church in the US will face over the next twenty years."
About 30 percent of churches going into a merger do so without pastors in both of the churches, according to the Leadership Network 2011 survey of church mergers.
At some point, the American church will have to face the facts that in order for many churches to survive and continue ministry and service to their community, it will take thinking differently about local churches working together and sometimes merging together.
It's all about Jesus
Church mergers, when done right, are not about a larger church taking over a smaller church—that is the wrong story and a gross oversimplification. Rather it's about two churches uniting to do more together than they could apart. It's about putting aside personal agendas, and realizing that Jesus is the Senior Pastor of the Church and that we have one mission: to make disciples. Often, with today's changing landscape, that mission is best accomplished together rather than apart, with churches whom God has seen to grow by his grace sharing leadership and resources with those churches that were faithful and did great gospel work in the past but today need help.
At Mars Hill, our motto is, "It's all about Jesus." He is the head of the church, our Senior Pastor, and the one who grows his church. As we, and other churches, move forward in ministry and mergers, our prayer is that it truly always is about Jesus and as many people meeting him as possible.
I have great hope for Jesus' church, specifically when it comes to this hot topic of mergers. If all parties involved can continually be reminded that the church has one mission to see people be saved by Jesus, it will make for an easier time working together to accomplish that mission, whether through mergers or strategic partnerships in a city.

It's been a busy few years for the executives at industry giant Royal Caribbean and its sister brand, Celebrity Cruises, as the lines have rolled out one ambitious new ship after the other. But to hear company executives tell it, the hard work is paying off.
Richard Fain, the chairman and CEO of parent company Royal Caribbean Cruises Ltd., said Thursday the lines' customers never have been happier, even as fares -- and profits -- bounce back from the downturn of late 2008 and 2009.
"Our guest satisfaction levels are at historical highs, and this will be a key factor in continuing to drive higher revenues," Fain told Wall Street analysts during a conference call to discuss fourth quarter earnings, referring to the ratings from evaluation forms filled out by passengers after voyages.

ALSO ONLINE: Is Royal Caribbean about to order a new ship?
Over the past 14 months, Royal Caribbean has unveiled the two biggest, most amenity-packed cruise ships ever built, the 5,400-passenger Allure of the Seas and sister Oasis of the Seas, while Celebrity is in the midst of rolling out five major new vessels of its own. But Fain says it's not just the new ships that are driving higher evaluation scores (and profits).
"The amazing performance of our newer ships is a contributor to this success," Fain told the analysts. "But the performance is fleet-wide and reflects our determination (to improve) across the board."
Fain praised the company's employees for successfully balancing the need to maintain and improve the product with the push to make money.
"The importance of strong brands performing well is often relegated to a subordinate role in conference calls such as these, but in fact they are the real drivers of our long-term success," Fain said. "While working hard to manage cost, I believe our management teams have done an outstanding job of providing a quality of product and a level of service (of which) we can be extremely proud."
