Speakers, Services, and Tapes
Rev. Michael Douglass is a powerful speaker and presenter (some of you may have read his book, "Speaking Your Way to Success", published in 1995). Churches and community-minded organizations call upon him to present the message of Advancing Vibrant Communities, as a way of motivating people to proactively help meet the needs of their own neighborhoods. In a day when volunteerism is waning, Rev. Douglass breaks through the walls of self-focused thinking, and energizes people to run out and begin meeting needs right in their own neighborhoods!
To begin that process of energizing your group, organization, or church and calling people to move out and start meeting needs in their spheres of influence, please call contact us anytime!

Services
AVC, Inc. maintains a local database in the Greater Modesto area that helps match community needs with faith-based resources (people with talents, skills, time, and energy). We provide a confidential personal survey form that helps us know your skills, hobbies, and passions for service. When serving opportunities arise in your local area, we confidentially notify you via e-mail or phone (whichever you prefer). You have the option of pursing the opportunity or not. We will not check up on you or badger you! We simply provide you with a notice of the local opportunities.

Tapes to Energize and Motivate Individuals, Groups, and Churches!
- The Irresistible Effects of Servanthood: The Mission, The Mindset, The Message
This tape slices to the core of the issue--the Biblical mandates for serving the needs of our communities! It explores Christ's mandate to serve, the attitude of service, and the real message others get as we serve their needs with no expectation of anything in return!
- Eulogy and Rebirth of the Church of American Tradition
This tape is not for sissies! Seriously, this is a no-holds-barred, hard-hitting look at why we need to break 50-year-old traditions in the churches of America in order to positively influence our culture with integrity and meaning. If you are concerned about he future of the church, ask for this one, but get ready for a bold message!
- Celebrate the Church in Action!
This is a great interview with Pastor Lou Binninger of the Church of Glad Tidings in Yuba City, California. This church is knocking the ball out of the park in terms of serving the needs of the city in practical, meaningful ways. You will be thrilled and motivated by this incredible story! If you are looking for reasons to sacrifice some time and energy to see your neighborhood prosper, and to motivate your church to break out of the four walls and authentically love the people in your city, this is a must-have tape.
