Would you like to be a catalyst to minister to those in the workplace in your city? If you are a subscriber to TGIF Today God Is First, you already know the power of these messages to 
encourage, challenge and inspire you to be a change agent in your workplace, city or nation. What if you could meet with a small group of believers every other week to discuss TGIF messages, bring seekers, or just build relationships with other believers in the workplace? If so, we want to support you to do just that.
What: A bi-weekly gathering of TGIF subscribers who will come together for fellowship, teaching and encouragement. The idea is to connect with existing TGIF subscribers and provide an opportunity to use the content and equipping resources of TGIF and Marketplace Leaders on a local, city level.
Purpose: To help marketplace believers better understand how they can integrate their Christian faith into their daily work and to be supported in their calling through fellowship, prayer and Bible study together with other TGIF subscribers.
Who we designed this for:

Meeting Location and Purpose: Meetings could be held in a conference room in a business owned by a Christian business owner or a restaurant space, workplace area, public resaurant or home.

Online Meeting Option: Some may want to have a teleconference meeting instead of personal meeting. You can easily do this through www.freeconferencing.com . The service is free.
Online Support: Marketplace Leaders will provide an online support site to download study guides and provide listing of where groups meet. We will list your group on our website so others may find you.
The Importance of Staying Connected to Your TGIF Group Between Live Meetings:
It’s hard to stay connected living in a larger city. Marketplace Leaders has created an online resource community. www.MLCommunity.com allows you to establish your own free online community group to stay in touch with your group between meetings. Groups, forums and events can be maintained on this site. It’s a great way to stay connected to your local TGIF Group and post prayer needs in your group.
