Toward more momentum for Evangelism

In a few short weeks we will have another spiritual “mountain-top” experience – coming together with other believers for the camp-meeting in Sarnia. Sharing with pastors from other churches I see evidence how co-working together multiplies and magnifies results. The next year camp-meeting will take place here, in London. It was recommended that the Evangelism team will also work to prepare for the camp experience. I would like to open opportunity for more people to come on board and plan together evangelism in the Fall, and regional camp next summer.
You have seen how it is done. Another demonstration is not needed. You are ready for delegation, for taking on personal responsibilities. Here’s how you can help 
• a general producer, a person who would direct and coordinate all the aspects of the program.
• a music coordinator, who would liaison with all performers and build together a solid program of praise and worship, involving participants from many churches.
• a stage manager, a person who would take a full responsibility for aesthetics, design, and decoration of the main stage.
• a committed prayer-giant, person whose life is 24x7 prayer, who would pull together a team of people whose faith anticipates miracles in God’s presence.
• a technical coordinator, who would oversee all the aspects of technical support, from audio, to video recording, to projection, lights, and other details.
• a communication director, who would oversee the website development and maintenance, producing advertisement, gathering photo and video, writing news-releases and taking us to the wider media opportunities.
• Materials coordinator – overseeing literature, lessons, sales, study supplements, orders from guests.
• Bible worker – to coordinate the follow up of all interests
• Data management director, for registration, and tracking of people.
• Marketing director – to organize a specific net for people with specific interests and needs.
• Nurture Small Groups coordinator, to develop a network of house churches for integrating new believers in faith.
• Children ministry director to provide babysitting services, and initial Bible training for children under 7 years of age.
• Teen ministry director to conduct a simultaneous “Truth for Youth” program during the main Evangelistic series for children 8-13.

BUILDING MOMENTUM FOR MORE EVANGELISM

Did you go by accident to the Agriplex this week? We got used to the high revival there during the past two weeks. It’s hard to get back to a routine doing “church.” Seeing how mightily God works when we are willing to follow the spirit lead, I am encouraged to invite you to plan together even greater event in the Fall.

I am reflecting on what people have shared with me over the last few days – many have been blessed. Everyone who attended was touched spiritually, and renewed commitment to the Lord Jesus. We’ve witnessed miracles of healing, immediate responses to the prayer. Some were surprised with the musical talent we have right here in London. All were blessed by working together of the team from both churches.

I have to tell you – I am ready to preach on 2-weeks notice. I loved every moment of witnessing the faith and blessed hope we have in Jesus Christ! And I want to do it again, soon!

Ray Thompson is working on DVDs, and as soon as they are ready we will make them available for all to utilize in your personal witnessing with friends and family.

You have seen how it is done. Another demonstration is not needed. You are ready for delegation, for taking on personal responsibilities. I am committed to create a more “open source” system of ministry where contribution is welcomed from all, and every one can participate in improving what we do together as a church family.

As we plan for the Fall Evangelism, here’s how you can help à suggest better yet facilities, with parking available, and “stay in” option for the duration of the program. The fall program is planned to be only 7 nights – one week event. We are reaping what is sowed through the year in your personal friendship evangelism.

To make Evangelism work for God’s glory we need:

  • a general producer, a person who would direct and coordinate all the aspects of the program.
  • a music coordinator, who would liaison with all performers and build together a solid program of praise and worship, involving participants from many churches.
  • a stage manager, a person who would take a full responsibility for aesthetics, design, and decoration of the main stage.
  • a committed prayer-giant, person whose life is 24x7 prayer, who would pull together a team of people whose faith anticipates miracles in God’s presence.
  • a technical coordinator, who would oversee all the aspects of technical support, from audio, to video recording, to projection, lights, and other details.
  • a communication director, who would oversee the website development and maintenance, producing advertisement, gathering photo and video, writing news-releases and taking us to the wider media opportunities.
  • Materials coordinator – overseeing literature, lessons, sales, study supplements, orders from guests.
  • Bible worker – to coordinate the follow up of all interests
  • Data management director, for registration, and tracking of people.
  • Marketing director – to organize a specific net for people with specific interests and needs.
  • Nurture Small Groups coordinator, to develop a network of house churches for integrating new believers in faith.
  • Children ministry director to provide babysitting services, and initial Bible training for children under 7 years of age.
  • Teen ministry director to conduct a simultaneous “Truth for Youth” program during the main Evangelistic series for children 8-13.
