How can I give away the gospel?
1. Decide the area you want to reach and when.
2. Pray for the area regularly, including prayer walking.
3. Gather a team together with your church.
4. Plan your outreach
-
What are you going to do? Different contexts will suit different approaches.
-
How many streets and homes do you want to reach?
-
Where and how will you give out gospels and/or gospel postcards e.g. tables in the street, through community projects like foodbanks and toddler groups or home to home? You might want to contact the local press and council to let them know you will be knocking on doors. It can help if people are expecting you!
-
Ensure you have information to hand so that you can invite people to your church services.
-
Plan your follow up Bible Discovery Communities and add them to the map
5. Order the materials you need e.g.
Gospels and
Gospel postcards from Hope
6. Gather the team for training.
-
Learn how to use the Share Bibles app
-
Prepare for conversations
-
Add your discovery community groups to the website map on the app.
7. Continue to pray for the people you meet by name.
Staying Safe
We want as many churches and Christians to join in and share the good news about Jesus as possible, but we want you to do it safely!
