• – Build trust by showing love and kindness
  • – Provide compassionate community service and health ministry

“The sowers of the seed have a work to do in preparing hearts to receive the gospel. . . . the love of Christ, revealed in personal ministry, may soften the stony heart, so that the seed of truth can take root.” Christ’s Object Lessons, p. 57

CHURCHWIDE Community Need-Based Ministries

  • – Engage in spiritual conversation or share testimony
  • – Share truth-filled literature and media
  • – Invite to church events

“The dissemination of the truth of God is not confined to a few ordained ministers. The truth is to be scattered by all who claim to be disciples of Christ.” Christian Service, p. 68

ACTIVE Literature and Media Ministry

  • – Give ongoing Bible studies
  • – Bring to small group Bible studies or evangelistic meetings

“There are those in the world who are reading the Scriptures, but who cannot understand their import. The men and women who have a knowledge of God are needed to explain the word to these souls.” Christian Service, p. 142

VIBRANT Bible Study Ministries

  • – Appeal for decisions in personal Bible studies
  • – Appeal for decisions in public evangelistic meetings and other sermons

“If there is not a decided application of the truth to their hearts, if words are not spoken at the right moment, calling for decision from the weight of evidence already presented, the convicted ones pass on without identifying themselves with Christ, the golden opportunity passes, and they have not yielded, and they go farther and farther away from the truth, farther away from Jesus and never take their stand on the Lord’s side.” Evangelism, p. 283

REGULAR Evangelistic Meetings

  • – Provide systematic plan for discipleship of new members
  • – Train members in soul-winning service
  • – Nurture members

“After individuals have been converted to the truth, they need to be looked after. … These newly converted ones need nursing, watchful attention, help, and encouragement.” Evangelism, p. 337

“When souls are converted, set them to work at once. And as they labor according to their ability, they will grow stronger.” Evangelism, p. 355
