October 22, 2017 Listen: 6 Obstacles to Personal Evangelism
My foundation seminar is focused on personal evangelism training:
The sharing of your faith in casual conversation with one other person.
This 1-1 interaction scares a lot of people for a variety of reasons.
Some of you have experienced this seminar and have found the freedom to share your faith that you hadn’t found before.

You’ve taken the stress out of evangelism. I can do this. – Participant at Old Greenwich CT seminar.

Here is a free 13 minute sample “6 Obstacles to Effective Evangelism”

June 04, 2017How to Get Church Visitor Contact Information
Based on a survey that I’ve done on church greeters and church hospitality issues, one of the biggest issues asked of me is
how to get your first time church visitors to fill out a connection card?
What is the best way to get church visitor contact information?
What is the best way for churches to gather information on visitors?
How to use a church visitor contact card?
All church visitor assimilation or first time church visitor follow-up processes begin with this information.
Yet so many of you are having difficulty getting the information from your first time visitors to your church.
3 Questions to ask if no one fills out your Visitor Contact Card
Scott Douglas raises three questions to ask yourself if no one fills out your visitor card
Do they know about the visitor card?
Do they know what to do with the visitor card?
Are your visitor cards stocked neatly?
Source: Three Questions to Ask When No One Fills Out Your Card
An Expert Interview on Church Visitor Cards
Listen in as I interview Yvon Prehn of www.effectivechurchcom.com about how to get church visitor information cards filled out.

Yvon spends time answering questions on
how to format visitor contact cards,
how to get church visitor cards filled out, and
what to do with church visitors contact information afterwords.

February 18, 2013Podcast: Treasure Hunting Evangelism with Mike Neelley
Philip got a word from the Lord to “Go and stand next to that chariot.”
Can we get such words for today that lead us into an evangelism encounter?
In the attached podcast, my friend Mike Neelley talks about his experiences as a regular part of his evangelistic life as he waits on God’s guidance about people he should speak a blessing to.
He lives out my teaching on noticing people and then takes the risk to step out in obedience.
Mike realizes he is only seed planting in the process of evangelism.
Listen in as Mike introduce how he practices a form of evangelism popularized in a book Treasure Hunting Evangelism.
What is treasure hunting and what it might look like, connected to personal evangelism?
What are some scriptural examples that might form the basis of this practice?
Mike shares a few examples from his own ministry of how this worked, including how he got a thank you note from the hygienist.
What does “pressing in to God” mean?
What do you think God is doing in the life of the other person as you share what you think God is showing you?
What role does this event play in the journey to faith?
What is the role of discernment in evaluating the guidance you get from God?
How does doing this treasure hunting help your walk with Christ?
Can any follower of Christ do this?
What four tests can you apply to discern guidance?
Podcast note: I notice there is some funny background noises in the interview, but I’m not sure what sounds were being picked up, nor do I know how to edit those sounds out.

January 04, 2012You Helped us Baptize New Believers
Listen in as one Evangelism team leader describes how my 4 month evangelism team coaching process led to the evangelistic growth of their church.
It’s about 25 minutes long.
Patricia Avit in the Center
Key takeaways:
We wanted to do this.
We baptized two new people as a result
Pastor’s excited because he’s seeing results
More people want to share their faith now that they see our effectiveness.
We had a 40 days of fasting for evangelism before we attended your conference
The price was cheaper than I expected and totally worth it.
The coaching process she describes is with her evangelism team. Read more here:

December 05, 2011Podcast: Christmas Outreach to the Community
Listen in as one church tells the story of getting their Christmas events out to a few thousand people during a town Christmas event.
I interview Kevin Cunningham, outreach pastor of a church in Nashua New Hampshire, a town of about 80,000.
Christmas Outreach
Each year on the Saturday after Thanksgiving, the city turns Main Street into a walking district.
Close to 30,000 people from across New England visit downtown Nashua to officially kick-off the Christmas season.
The evening starts with a procession from City Hall to Railroad Square where the City’s official Christmas tree is lit.
Much of the downtown is closed to traffic for the evening, allowing strollers to enjoy the live entertainment, sample offerings from street vendors, dine in downtown’s fine restaurants and do holiday shopping at specialty shops and boutiques.
Promoting Special Christmas Events
This church used this event to promote two Christmas activities.
Group’s A Night in Bethlehem—converting our church grounds into a first-century experience of what Bethlehem must have looked like on the first Christmas.
Our Christmas Eve service—that will feature a lot of drama vignettes, special music and group carol singing.
Conversation Starters
Kevin also shares what was on their table as giveaways.
Bibles
New Testaments
Business card-sized invites to our Christmas activities
Booklets (from Outreach Marketing) with the Christmas Story and a message for non Christ-followers that presented the Gospel and a message for believers who are not in fellowship.
Gary Rohrmayer’s Your Spiritual Journey pamphlets (Read my review of Spiritual Conversations)
CDs from a Marriage Event with authors and speakers Drs. Paul & Virginia Friesen on how to “Be Part of a Great Marriage.”
Candy Canes
Brochures – see the images below
Intentional Conversations about Faith
Besides marketing the Christmas activities, the volunteer team was also intentional about faith sharing conversations. Make sure you listen in to see how they held normal conversations during this Christmas outreach.
Read 7 Habits for Highly Effective Personal Evangelism to get a feel for what this might look like.
They included
a parent needing help raising a middle schooler and looking for a church with a good youth group.
A couple planning to get married and looking for a church
A number of people who had drifted away from church over the years and sensing the need to get back on track.
Some were believers—others from a ritualistic background and looking for something more meaningful.
Showing Church Hospitality to First Time Visitors
About midway through the interview with Kevin, we talk about hospitality issues:
How did you prepare your volunteers for this table?
How are you preparing your hospitality and church member to receive them and make intentional connections?
Plans are you making to help your first time visitors return after the events are over
What would you do differently?
Finally, Kevin shares some practical principles he learned doing this kind of outreach and the one thing he would do differently.
Find areas or events that already exist in your area where you can generate interest.
Don’t say no for people. Even though our town’s event is called the “Winter Holiday Stroll” they included a section for non-profits that we were able to take advantage of.
Start early. Our application had to be filed by mid-September.

May 16, 2011Audio: Casting a Vision for Church Hospitality
Puzzled why your church visitors don’t come back?
Maybe your members talk to each other and ignore the first time visitor.
Maybe your volunteers are not serving the needs of visitors.
Maybe your first time visitors don’t feel welcomed.
In this audio sample from the Create a Culture of Hospitality MP3 download, I share other evidences that your church hospitality is not working.
Church hospitality systems break down where there is lack of vision for welcoming the visitors that God brings you. Proper vision casting will help your whole church increase it’s impact.
“Your emphasis on prayer will make a big impact for us!” C. Parsons
“So many fantastic ideas on how to be more welcoming” – R. Wade.
“Practical suggestions to address vital issues”

There was SO much in this recording. The biggest thing for me was hearing the importance of what our church can do when the service is over to initiate conversation with newcomers. You also gave us practical ideas that we could easily implement.
We have got quite good systems in place for before the service, but its after the service that we really need to work on. Thanks for pointing out some ideas for what we might do – Renda W, New Zealand.

March 31, 2011Podcast: Sharing your Faith while Serving the Community
I can’t tell you how many times I’ve heard small churches say “we are just too small” to do much of anything.
In today’s podcast, I talk with a pastor whose little country church is
bringing the good news of Jesus AND
serving the community AND
leading people to faith in Christ.
I interview Pastor Laura Long, from a small country church in an economically depressed area of Marion NC, Clinchfield Presbyterian Church.
It’s clear that Pastor Laura loves the community, loves the people, and the church has had a great ministry of presence in the community.
Recently, they’ve been engaging the community as a church, and transforming lives one at a time.
If you think your church is too small to make a difference, listen in today’s show.
In this podcast you’ll hear
the community setting of church.
the food program that connects them with their community.
how prayer plays a role
the intentional listening and response to spiritual needs.
the impact of community service on your church
Recently, I’ve been doing a lot of teaching on engaging your community and sharing your faith while serving your community.
There are some great books on the subject such as
AND: The Gathered and Scattered Church (Exponential Series)
The Externally Focused Church
Externally Focused Quest
A New Kind of Big: How Churches of Any Size Can Partner to Transform Communities
Growing the Church in the Power of the Holy Spirit: Seven Principles of Dynamic Cooperation
and it’s a theme that I’ve touched on every now and then on my website and in the podcast feed.
