  3. Where You Should Be: • You should have listened to sessions #1-4. • You should be finishing one of two books by Jan. 20th. • You should have planned two personal evangelism training opportunities for your congregation for 2011. • You should have discussed with your partner one immediate and one long-term application to helping your congregation become more externally focused.

  5. Tonight • Guest Friendly • Follow-up • Assimilation • What does this have to do with evangelism? • Though we cannot save someone, we can inadvertently develop barriers to reception of the Gospel message. • Evangelism does not end at the point of conversion but launches into responsibility for Discipleship.

  6. Guest Friendly • Distinguish between being “seeker driven” and being “seeker sensitive.” • James 2:1-13. • Evaluate facilities by asking how clean, how cluttered, and how contemporary? • Friendliness is both taught and caught but is never automatic. • Combine welcome by design with developing a welcoming culture. • Consider inviting an anonymous guest.

  7. Follow-Up • Begin when guests are on-site by registration and invitation. • Automate follow-up giving attention to: • timing • and multiple touches.
