Your church visitors... Guess who's coming to visit?

Dear friend,

Invite nonchristians to visit your church on Christmas Eve and around New Years.

Expect the visitors to come... and when they do... offer them a red rose sticker for their shirt, blouse or jacket.

Why? Because:
1. It will make your church visitors feel special and welcome.
and
2. It makes it easier for your members to see these special guests and come over to introduce themselves.

What can You do in December?

Dear Christian friend,

Today's the first day of December.

What can you and/or your church do to reach out with the Gospel of Jesus Christ during this month?

Here's a few ideas that might help...

1. Have a song service where all the songs have to do with the promise of Messiah and the birth of Jesus.

2. Setup a 'live' nativity scene -- with 'live' animals.

3. Have a birthday party for Jesus!

4. Have a Christmas Eve candle-lighting service.

etc.

Whatever you do... Invite your friends and neighbors to this event!!

So what are your ideas? Post them out here on this blog; won't you?

God bless,

Back to school... What does this mean to your church?

Hello again, Christian.

It is time for the kids to go back to school... are you ready?

You might have gone shopping to purchase school supplies for your own children.

But what about your local congregation?

What have you done to help parents and students in your community get ready for this?

Honestly, it's not too late.

You might try on one these ideas... or come up with one of your own...
1. Have a Back to School Transition Seminar at your church. Invite local people from your community and/or school districts to talk about what a new student can expect when entering high school or middle school.
2. Offer some free school supplies.
3. Have a prayer breakfast for pray for students and teachers.
4. Setup some homework help sessions at your church -- after school and before Wednesday evening services.
etc.

So what are your ideas?

Please share with me via email to iseekthelost@yahoo.com

God bless you as you reach out to your community,

Soulwinner Supplies reminds you to followup with your church visitors

Hey, christian friend...

Just wanted to remind you to followup with your church visitors.

As you know it is always important to make these guests feel appreciated.

But now, as August is rapidly approaching and your VBS (Vacation Bible School) or Summer Spectular or whatever you're calling yours might be over with (for 2009 anyway)... please, please remember to find ways to reach out to your VBS church visitors and say 'Thank You' and 'Please come again'.

You might wanna contact these important people via email -- I sure hope you collected their email addresses when they visited -- and/or via a phone call and/or via a letter... or contact them in several different ways.

So, be encouraged in the Lord to get out there and followup... and remember to smile when you do.

God bless,
J. Yarbrough, your Evangelism coach

Soulwinner Supplies asks, "Are you ready for Mother's Day?"

Soulwinner Supplies asks, "Are you ready for Mother's Day?"

I've written about this before. And I hope that you are ready for tomorrow... when hopefully, there will be church visitors at your congregation... some for the very first time. Moms, grandmas, and nephews, cousins, sisters, brothers, in some cases, the whole family will be coming to church with Mom and then, going out to lunch or brunch.

Yes; today is Saturday. And tomorrow is Mother's Day!

If you forgot, don't panic.

Here are a few ideas about how to help make these church visitors feel welcome:

1) Give them something that you already have in your church building as a free gift. Maybe this is a new testament, book, pencil, bookmark, etc. Look around in your supply closet.

2) Stop by and get some donuts on your way to church. Give these away to your church visitors.

3) Prepare coffee and juice for these special guests.

4) Type up a poem into a Microsoft Word document. Print this out and make copies of this poem on some nice colorful paper. Give one copy to each of the Moms in your assembly. Yes; the church visitors and the members too.

Think about it and you can come up with something, I'm sure.

Email me and tell me how it went.

Mother's Day...

Hey, J. Yarbrough here.

This is a quick reminder that you only have a week until Mother's Day.

You still have time to get ready for people who will be coming as church visitors.
