Ben Arment and the word ‘dream’ pretty much go together. Ben worked at Catalyst prior to going out on his own. With zero capital to start with, Ben was able to bring the STORY conference to life, raising $125,000 in 6 months to do it.

Ben also heads up Dream Year in which he leads 24 people over an entire year to help them realize a dream they have. I’ve communicated with Ben a few times via email and Twitter, but I will have the opportunity to meet him in Nashville next month at the Dream Year Weekend which is sort of a “bootcamp” version of Dream Year.

Ben has a huge idea for Easter and it revolves around angels:

Here’s the thing… there is no better time to talk about the role of angels than Easter.

They were major players in the story of Christ’s death and resurrection, and they remind us that there is cosmic battle raging over the souls of humanity.

I’m looking for 5 churches that are interested in working together to produce an unprecedented Easter experience around the theme of angels and spiritual warfare… the spirit world.

It would cost about $12k to participate, but by working together, we could create tens of thousands of dollars worth of creative work by some of the best artists in the country:

• The entire visual experience – films and motion work
• Run sheets, message scripting, program elements, charted music, message outlines, etc
• All branded church communications, bulletins, slides, etc
• Complete branding, promtions, and web design, skins

…All from the same creators of STORY

Of course the first response of many is to look at that price tag and knee-jerk a “No!” response. “It’s not in our budget!”, “We could never put together $12,000 in less than 4 months.”

But why not? Romans 8:31 says, “If God is for us, who can be against us?” Does anybody really think $12,000 can be an obstacle to God?

I’m going to pass this along to my church. Let’s all do the same and see if any of them will join Ben.
