Quick Tip for getting the word out about your church…Part 2
March 10, 2008
A powerful combination in reaching your community is by coupling spirit and action!
1. Prayer walk-activate your members by thinking about reaching their own neighborhoods. This seems simple but isn’t it the case that we often minister elsewhere than our own neighborhoods. Walk, pray, on your own block. I am not saying we do not minister elsewhere, but certainly make sure you have impacted your neighborhood.
2. Action-use doorhangers. Oklahoma Baptists are working again to touch every home in Oklahoma with information about local churches and a clear presentation of the Gospel through ACROSS Oklahoma. So now that your group has prayer-walked, head back out with information, and opportunities to engage others with the Gospel.
Most of all, go for it. Whatever you do, do something. If there are complainers about what will or won’t work, or just general apathy or laziness, rally the troups, get activated, get creative, and get out there. People need to know your church is active and there for them!

One resource that we have recently been blessed by is a direct mailing organization right here in our city. We are able to easily target our neighborhood for special invitations and the like. It is a turn-key deal, from the layout of the mailer, to the postage purchase, to the distribution.
This month we will be sending out special invitations to our community for a Grand Opening of new facilities at our church. We are so blessed by these buildings, but these buildings are for the community! We want them here, and to hear about Jesus Christ.
Let me know if you would like more information on this particular resource, or how we have used them for other projects in the past.
God bless you as you reach the lost in your community!
