Our objective is to help participants who live in a digital world be with one another on a scheduled or spontaneous way to help each other understand the relevancy of Scripture and the Holy Spirit in their daily lives in the 21st century.
A highly versatile web APP that hosts on-demand, virtual small groups for the purpose of connecting young seekers in the faith with scripturally-trained mentors, globally. Sync offers a safe, engaging interface for Millennials/Gen. Z and is readily adaptable to technical advances well into the future.
The originators’ objective is for Sync users to learn together in a “virtual small group environment”, and share ideas via video conferencing, text messaging, study lessons and other resource documents under the leadership of a mentor. Already immersed in this current digital world, Sync users will be able to relate in spontaneous or scheduled ways and help each other understand the relevancy of Scripture and the Holy Spirit in their daily lives in the 21st century.
Sync with God is a 501(c)(3) ministry whose purpose is to use 21st century technology to create a discipleship experience relevant to the Millennial generation (18-34 years old) and other ages who think like Millennials.
Contribute to the efficiency of small group leaders so they can reach more people in less time. Increase the number of small group leaders that are available to begin new groups by applying 2 Timothy 2:2. Reduce the attrition rate of small group attendees. Increase the number of trained small group leaders that can reproduce across generations. Increase the number of holistic disciples with Christlike emotions, mind, will, and behaviors who value their faith and understand the Bible. Reduce the costs for churches using small group video streaming services.

Mentorless, Fatherless Generation
Jim, a faithful elder, sees most young people bypassing the church. Older people with experience seem bored and apathetic in their relationship with Christ. Great young leaders most often have a foundation of great mentoring by Bible believing Christians.
The longer we go without taking discipleship seriously, the wider the chasm between our generations will become. (Grant Skeldon, The Passion Generation: The Seemingly Reckless, Definitely Disruptive, But Far from Hopeless Millennials)

We can learn from science that joy activates the brain’s relational circuits in the middle of our identity center. Joy enables us to respond to the God who is with us and for us. God’s initiating love allows us to receive his grace with appreciation and joy, generating a joyful identity. The brain’s joy center – the right orbital prefrontal cortex – is the only section of brain which never loses its capacity to grow – so our “joy strength” can continue to expand through life.
Because Cory didn’t grow up with joy being a part of his life, he found that the interactive gratitude exercise from Jim Wilder, Anna Kang, John Loppnow, and Sungshim Loppnow’s book, Joyful Journey, was helpful in processing his internal dialogue of negative thoughts so he could experience joy from God. It allowed him to write a letter to God with a response back from Him. Cory never received validation from his earthly father. Receiving re-parenting and validation from God, Cory said, allowed him to avoid emotionally dumping on people.
After the gratitude exercise, six additional steps are included in Immanuel Journaling (described below), where we write down our impression of what God is thinking and saying to us (everything we write down being filtered through Scripture and our knowledge of God’s character).
Immanuel Journaling Steps:
1. Gratitude. Write anything you appreciate and then write God’s response to your gratitude:
“Dear God, I’m thankful for…” and “Dear child of mine…”
2. I can see you.
Write from God’s perspective what He observes in you right now, including your physical sensations.
3. I can hear you.
Write from God’s perspectives what He hears you saying to yourself.
4. I understand how big this is for you.
How does God see your dreams, blessings or upsets and troubles?
5. I am glad to be with you and treat your weakness tenderly.
How does God express His desire to participate with your life?
6. I can do something about what you are going through.
What does God give you for this time?
7. Read what you have written aloud (preferably to someone else)
Most of us have experienced rejection, shame, and blame while growing up. Cory experienced more of these things than anyone I’ve ever known.
Because Cory didn’t grow up with joy being a part of his life, he found that the interactive gratitude exercise from Jim Wilder, Anna Kang, John Loppnow, and Sungshim Loppnow’s book, Joyful Journey, was helpful in processing his internal dialogue of negative thoughts so he could experience joy from God through “Immanuel Journaling.”
Cory noted that his Immanuel Journaling has been enhanced by the “seven soul care principles” from Dr. Rob Reimer’s book, Soul Care: 7 Transformational Principles for a Healthy Soul.
He participates in the weekly soul care men’s group that I co-lead.
We cultivate these seven principles: identity, repentance, overcoming family sin patterns, forgiveness, healing wounds, overcoming fears, and deliverance.

Sync Partnership with Clayton One-PagerMark Pomeroy
Description of partnership between Sync with God and Clayton protecting peoples' privacy and data as an alternative to Google, Facebook, etc. Very important in countries where there's persecution
Thank you for considering Sync with God’s potential impact and how you and other concerned Christians can bridge the culture gap for the purpose of sharing Jesus Christ. Wherever there is access to the internet, you can meet in virtual small groups with those you are mentoring to share your lives, your spiritual journeys and study the Bible using Sync’s discipleship framework.
For years, my colleagues and I shared Christ face-to-face with significant results! As society became more Post-Christian, things changed. Encounters with young people became more detached and awkward. The Sync team learned from Barna and other sources that most U.S. churches were struggling to bridge the generation gap and connect with young people! This breakdown in effective church outreach was confirmed when Pew Research reported only 20% of Millennials or Gen Zers identify themselves as Christians, and 34% identify as atheists. This is reason enough to be concerned, but researchers are documenting an epidemic in loneliness that is putting these young people at risk of addiction, exploitation and economic marginalization.
Sync with God Giving Challenge with Contact InformationMark Pomeroy
Let’s reach the many young people who now want to know more about Jesus. Here are some options, as you prayerfully consider what God wants you to do with your gifts of support.
This tool will help Christians connect with one another across the world. The concept to help believers grow in their faith through this new technology is unprecedented. Churches, small group leaders, missionaries, youth ministries, college ministries and other faith-based organizations should use this product for discipleship efforts. Our small group used this technology through video conferencing, chat groups, personal journaling, lesson plans and video uploads. This tool will make a huge impact to further Gods work across the globe.
What if it’s a bigger picture than living life on repeat? What if true happiness and fulfillment comes from taking every step by faith, even if you aren’t sure where the path is leading you?
That’s where God comes in. The Creator of the Universe has an exceptional plan specifically for you that will pull you out of the rut of everyday life and guide you to an existence filled with purpose, joy, and intimate, meaningful relationships. God has a plan to shape the world into a better place and save its inhabitants from pain and suffering, and that plan involves YOU.
Finished building the proof of concept within InspireHUB APP so we can save answers to questions and a separate journal page for deeper reflections in preparation for small group meetings. Eventually, small group participants will have the option to copy and paste reflections and insights from their digital device to their mentor coach and one or more small group members.
A Millennial made (20) videos for the five pilot lessons with each one having a lesson Introduction, Millennial real-life story, Gen. Z real-life story, and lesson story from Scripture. Godly and gifted Millennials have applied to write and create content for Sync.
1. Sync includes individual study of interactive, engaging media and small group interactions—using video conferencing via the web APP so the group can meet, discuss, and be coached by a mentor. The APP facilitates breakout sessions and invitations to participate on demand.
Sync with God is a highly versatile web app that hosts on-demand, virtual small groups. Sync is designed to connect young seekers in the faith and scripturally-trained mentors, even globally. It offers a safe, engaging interface for Millennials/Gen. Z and is readily adaptable to technical advances well into the future.

Transit-Oriented Development Study Working Group Meeting
Short Description of Sync with God
1. Short Description of Sync with God
Our objective is to help participants who live in a digital world be with one another on a
scheduled or spontaneous way to help each other understand the relevancy of Scripture and
the Holy Spirit in their daily lives in the 21st
century.
People learn together in a “virtual small group environment”, share ideas in video as well as
text, study lessons and shared material under the leadership of a mentor.
The app allows the management and oversight by the church or organization as well as the
syndication of content shared between some or all of the groups. It provides a journaling
capability which allows the participant to share thoughts and observations, if he/she chooses
with one or all of the group members.
It’s using the technology of Progressive web apps which are simpler to use and maintain that
the native apps downloaded from the app stores.
We are not trying to create a new software but desire people in small groups to study and
interact with one another.
Facebook doesn’t allow video chat to approximate a small group, face-to-face relationship, store
reusable content files for discipleship, do screen sharing, and allow levels of permission
between denominations/ ministries, congregations and small groups to aid shepherding and
accountability.
