A BIG CHALLENGE
Many churches around the world put great effort into outreach and evangelism. But all too often they don’t get the response to the Gospel they are hoping for. Sadly, too many visitors come in through the front door and out through the back, without responding to the Good News about Jesus. There are still too many empty chairs.
​
FILLING EMPTY CHAIRS
However, there is help at hand. Unlocking Outreach is a new approach to sharing the Good News as part of outreach events and welcoming people at our church services. St Paul’s powerful image in 1 Corinthians 12 of the various parts of the body working together for the benefit of the whole has been inspirational in our thinking.
We’ve taken a proven business methodology that engages and motivates people by putting each person in the right role for their talents. This has the effect of creating high performing teams that deliver amazing results; results that have propelled business forward for many years. We have applied the same process to the world of evangelism and outreach.
​
At the core of Unlocking Outreach is a rich and practical workbook that provides you with a way to learn the methodology and apply it naturally and easily, alone or as part of a team. It enables Christians to support outreach efforts in 3 simple steps:
-
Identify the God-given strengths and talents for yourself and other people in your church.
-
Assemble strong outreach and hosting teams that allows everyone to use their God-given talents to perform the role they were made for and collaborate better.
-
Lay the groundwork for developing strong relationships by interacting with people in the way they prefer, so they will want to come back for more.
