Another church did my 4 month personal evangelism coaching process for their team and within a few months had baptized some new believers as a result of that intentional focus.

What is your church’s evangelism strategy for 2012?

People often complain about lack of time when the lack of direction is the real problem.
- Zig Ziglar

Most of us know this true.  If we don’t plan ahead, we will miss the opportunities that present themselves.

Prayer is a great place to start.  Ask God:

• What does this year look like for your church in the area of evangelism?
• What is God calling your church to do to express the expansion of the kingdom of God in your particular locale?
• What particular programmatic expressions is God calling your church to do?

Evangelism Strategy Webinar for 2012

In this complimentary webinar, I’ll share with you 3 major areas of evangelism training for your congregation to help you develop your evangelism strategy for 2012.

Among other things you’ll lean:

• 6 different evangelism styles to match the right program for your congregation for personal evangelism

In the USA, back to school season is in full swing.

Churches are putting the finishing touches on all the new programs that’ll launch this fall:

• New Sermon Series
• New Small Groups
• New Sunday School Classes
• New Outreach Events

Many are planning for new visitors, and putting the final fresh touches on their hospitality ministries.

But here is the question:

• Does your greeter ministry feel stale and unmotivated?
• Are your new volunteer greeters eager to do a great job?
• Do you think your greeters are nervous about knowing what to do?
• Are you running out of time to organize a training event for your greeting team?
• Can’t get your volunteers together during this busy end of summer travel season?

I’ve recorded an on-line training event for your greeter volunteers to help you give that last minute training. It’s now available for purchase in the store.

I’m often asked how can a church use social networking

• to increase our reach in our community
• to raise awareness of our church
• to communicate with members

So I’ve recruited Paul Steinbreuck, co-founder and CEO of OurChurch.Com, which helps Christian organizations communicate more effectively by providing web design, hosting, search marketing, and consulting services.

I’ve known Paul for about 3 years, read his blog, and follow his twitter feed.  He knows what he’s talking about

How can you maximize social networking?

In this free 1 hour webinar you’ll learn:

• How to decide which social media sites are right for you and your church.
• How to avoid social media faux pas that can drive people away from your church.
• How to use social media to get better search rankings in Google.
• How to use both a Facebook page and Facebook profile together for maximum effectiveness.

Date: Thursday, March 10, 1pm EST, Noon CST, 11 AM MST, 10 AM PST.

What questions would you like to see us address in this webinar on social media for pastors and church planters?  Post them in the comment field below

Note: registration information will be shared with each of our ministries.

This time of year,

• new volunteers come on board,
• new leaders are asked by their pastors to take charge
• new people are asked to “fix and improve” the hospitality ministry of their church.

As churches plan their ministry goals for 2011, hospitality is one area that often gets jump-started this time of year.

What I hear is:

• “We see the need, but don’t know where to start.”
• “We need an outside person to show us the way to begin.”
• “We need a fresh vision for our hospitality ministries.”
• “People are not catching the vision for hospitality and we need help.”

On January 11, I’ll start a free 4 part video series that will give you some great content and on January 19, 2011, I’ll re-open the registrations to a 4 part on-line course geared to helping you organize and improve your hospitality ministries.

This is really geared to hospitality teams for small to mid-size churches who want to start, grow, or re-fresh their hospitality ministry.

I heard from many of you that you couldn’t make it last fall when the initial course began, so I’m reopening registrations soon.

Course Schedule

The free video series will begin on January 11.

Registration for the course will begin on January 19.

Classes are on the following nights:

• Tuesday, Jan 25 — What systems do you need to look at?
• Tuesday Feb 1 — What Church Visitors Want
• Tuesday Feb 8 — Organizing and Training your Teams
• Tuesday Feb 15 — Street to Pew Review

Course will be held on-line at 8pm Eastern US (7pm Central, 6pm MST, 5pm PST).

Registration is $197 per church, meaning your whole team can join in for the one fee.

Space is limited to keep the class size manageable.

If you can’t make a class, you’ll have access to the replay, MP3 audio files and all the handouts.

Evangelism Training Study Course

For a home study course on personal evangelism, consider my course:

Would you pitch in to cover the cost?

Perhaps, your church has stalled out in its evangelistic passion.  People are not coming to faith and your members are not really engaging people into finding faith in Christ.    The life-saving station has become the club of comfort.

Yet, other churches continue to grow year after year.

How do they maintain their evangelistic passion and zeal to reach their community and be a transformative agent for the kingdom of God?

Their leaders have developed a sowing mentality.

They have learned to apply the law of sowing and reaping in their evangelistic efforts.

How do you develop a sowing mentality?

In this 60 minute webinar, where you don’t have to travel or spend any money (though a donation is helpful) Gary Rohrmayer will join Chris Walker of EvangelismCoach.org and you will

• Discover how the principle of sowing and reaping works in evangelism
• Learn how to develop a sow mentality
• Receive ideas for incarnational outreach in your community
• Learn how to develop an effective promotion strategy

You can expect to learn how

• to earn the right to be heard in your community
• to do the “work of an evangelism” in your ministry
• not to waste money on bad marketing attempts

• How do you do evangelism training?
• How can we stimulate members to get excited about the GREAT COMMISSION?
• How can I create a culture of evangelism and equip my church members for it?
• How do you get others excited about the opportunity?

I’ve started meeting with a person who seems to be a “person of peace.”

Even though he’s only been in this country for a relatively short amount of time, he has several people approaching him with lots of spiritual questions that he can’t answer.

He wants to learn how to answer their questions with gentleness and respect.

Put another way he’d like to know how to have a deep conversation around those themes.

People with tremendous spiritual thirst are seeking him out and he’s not sure how to manage those opportunities to share his faith without killing a conversation

He wants to help his friends and has turned to me for help.  We’ve started meeting for that very reason.

Can you find the person of peace?

I’ve coached enough pastors and done enough seminars to know that one challenge that many of you face is finding it easy to talk about your faith in Christ.

• How do you find someone who is spiritually thirsty?
• How can you help someone on the next step of their spiritual journey towards Christ?

I’ve asked author Gary Rohrmayer to give us a webinar on this very topic.

In this 60 minute webinar, where you don’t have to travel or spend any money (though a donation is helpful) Gary Rohrmayer will join Chris Walker of EvangelismCoach.org and will share with us

• How pastors can increase the number of spiritual conversations in their life.
• How pastors can better equip their church to reach their sphere of influence
• How pastors can sow seeds of awareness throughout their community

You can expect to learn

• how to uncover a person of peace in your sphere of influence
• how to become a better networker in your community and have fun doing it
• how not to waste your time in fruitless conversations

He writes:

Realizing that members of the church were not intentionally discipling others, I began searching for the reasons why.

I read many books on the needs of unbelievers, and I examined studies that contained massive amounts of data about the spiritual beliefs of unbelievers. I also scrutinized church growth methods and examples in order to learn how to attract others to Jesus. All of my searching was informative, yet something was missing.

The book reveals the results of a nationwide survey on the conversion process. Some of the results are surprising. Based on the findings, a process for making disciples is introduced and explained. . .

I determined that I would uncover the mysteries of discipleship by asking people about their conversion process, so I conducted a nationwide study to better understand how people became followers of Jesus. I hypothesized that people are led to Jesus when there is someone who takes a special interest in their salvation.

My thesis was that this person is especially influential in the lives of unbelievers when his or her life reflects Jesus, the greatest teacher of disciples. The results revealed that, indeed, individuals were influenced to commit their lives to Jesus by people who modeled Jesus in their lives.

The research that Shawn has done into understanding the conversion experience gives us key insights as evangelist.

With the support of good research methodology, vivid illustrations from his life on the Alaskan frontier, and anecdotal examples from his own discipling ministry, Shawn Anderson carefully lays out solid, practical Biblical principles for leading others to Christ.
