What can You do in December?

Posted on December 1, 2009 by soulwin

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?

Posted on August 15, 2009 by soulwin

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,

Your church visitors… Make them feel welcome

Posted on August 1, 2009 by soulwin

Go into all the world and preach the Gospel to every creature…

What happens after preaching?

Normally, a new congregation is established (a church is planted)… when enough Christians are in one place.

Then, a building is built to worship in and minister out of, right?

Then, worship services are held on a weekly basis.

Then, the guests come as your church visitors… Stop right there because this is where a lot of you might be right now.

So, let’s say, that you are already meeting in a building and have church visitors coming on a regular basis… Alright then, let me encourage you to make those special guests to your assembly and/or Bible class, etc. feel special and welcome.

Perhaps, something on this website might be helpful to you as you try to make your visitors feel welcomed and appreciated… www.RedRoseStickers.com

Soulwinner Supplies reminds you to followup with your church visitors

Posted on July 8, 2009 by soulwin

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. You might consider using a tool like www.HelpMeTouch.com to keep in touch with your church guests and/or church visitors.

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?"

Posted on May 9, 2009 by soulwin

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…

Posted on May 2, 2009 by soulwin

Hey, J. Yarbrough here.

This is a quick reminder that you only have a week until Mother’s Day… which must be one of the most popular days for people to visit churches with their Mom.

You still have time to get ready for these special people who will be coming as church guests (church visitors).

So what are you going to go?

your church visitors — 2 important dates in May…

Posted on April 19, 2009 by soulwin

Hello.

J. Yarbrough here.

I wanted to remind you about two important dates in May that you might want to plan something and invite visitors to your church.

One is the National Day of Prayer and your congregation might host a breakfast on this day and invite people from the community.

And the other is Mother’s Day which is traditionally a day when a lot of church visitors can be found at churches across the country. Sometimes children will visit Mom or Grandma for the weekend and attend worship services with her on Sunday morning.

What about you? Are you ready for these church visitors?

Get ready… the clock is ticking… and you don’t want to miss this opportunity to make your church visitors feel welcome.

This is J. Yarbrough, your evangelism coach, and I just wanted to remind you about these 2 important days in May.

God bless,
J.

Soulwinner Supplies asks, "Are you ready for Easter?"

Posted on April 5, 2009 by soulwin

J. Yarbrough of Soulwinner Supplies asks, “Are you ready for Easter?” because next Sunday is Easter Sunday and hopefully you will have a lot of church visitors on Easter Sunday.

It is not too late to make plans to give a free gift to each of the guests who visit your congregation next Sunday morning.

What can you give these church visitors?

I think something homemade like banana bread or chocolate chip cookies would be wonderful.

Also, a new testament or Bible might be nice.

As well as some literature about your local church and the ministries/services that you offer to these church visitors.

And try to get their email addresses too.

Some churches like to give these guests a red rose sticker for their lapel… this makes it easier for the members the recognize who the visitors are.

What ideas do you have? Won’t you share them with me?
