Introduction to BlockPlay
We are excited to begin a series of blog posts that FINALLY get into the details of Assembli, and why we believe it can and will become a game changer.
It’s Not My Problem

The Crisis of Lukewarmness
Merriam-Webster defines lukewarm as being tepid; lacking conviction; half-hearted. Being lukewarm in our faith and Christian convictions is a problem that’s more detestable to God than either being hot or cold.

The Big Idea: Where it all begins
The place where we aim to spark a movement of hope and compassion within the Christian community…a movement that is entirely possible, and involves you at the very core.
A Place For Everyone
This is a movement with a place for everyone. A place where all who have experienced the grace of God, or desire to, can band together in every village and nation in the world to bring hope to those who need hope, and to change what seems impossible to change.
