I began to pray through my list of friends who don’t know the Lord.

I began to pray through my circle of friends who need physical healing.

I began to pray through our supporting churches – that they too would be places where the healing ministry of Jesus is experienced

A staple of church community evangelism has been the door to door outreach campaign.

If you want to start door to door outreach in your community, I want to provide you with some starting points for your team to consider.

If your church visitor doesn’t fill out a connection card, how can you follow up with them? You can’t send them literature, make a home visit, carry cookies to their house, or invite them to come to the next service.

How can you follow up with them if you have no record of their presence?

I’ve got a few friends who have always been hostile to talking about faith.

Their level of spiritual thirst has been low. In fact, it’s downright hostile.

We remain friends, but talking about Jesus provokes emotional hostility or an evasive awkward silence.
