11 Steps on How to Lead a Prayer Meeting Focused on Evangelism
I enjoyed the webinar on yesterday afternoon. It was very informative and thought-provoking. My church has come along way with our “greeting” visitors. Now how can we make them stay?? They come for a couple of Sundays and then we never see them again. It is so frustrating!!
