Outreach Idea: Church offers free coffee on Mondays

September 23, 2007 By 5 Comments

Here is an outreach idea that a church is doing, in response to their local situation:

Church offers free coffee on Mondays.

The idea is to provide a gathering spot, a relational context where evangelism can naturally happen. Visitors do get a card with church information.

While not strictly evangelism as we define it here, it is one way that a church can connect to the neighborhood and learn of its needs. A church can raise awareness of its presence in the community. Personal evangelism can be an outgrowth of this.
