Cross Way: have you and your friends line up along a street and out strech your arms in the shape of the Cross. Do this as long as your group feels like.

Message Vender: go to a street corner and read the Bible aloud whether or not people are walking by. You don't need a group to do this.

It would probably help if you had a few friends stand by appearing to be interested, it may draw more attention.
 
Maybe, but a guy standing on a corner yellin out stuff about the Bible will cause attention on it's own. :-D Esspecially in big cities.
 
Offer free snacks and bottled water to people waiting in local hospitals. Give out those small NT bibles or maybe a card printed with a Bible verse.... Be ready to pray with folks if they need prayer.


IF you can sing or know someone who can, play some music, and meet strangers at a park. With the Karaoke machines today, this is pretty easy to do....let others sit in and sing Gospel songs... Give away your verse and church cards to all who come by.


Get some cheap Flower Seed Packets - and give them out to neighbors and co-workers, or place them under the wipers on parked cars at parking lots along with a Bible verse card or tract attached.

Pass out ice cold Lemonade on a hot day, on a beach or set up next to a ballpark ..etc....give them a bible verse card or Christian tracts on how to be saved.
 
Instead of Just leaving a track, give some personal contact information. This show interest and willingness to sacrifice your time for them and the Message.

Whooaaa....

Create deceptive illusions?

How about relying on the power of God and his will?

That might work.
 
HI there!

:smt039

Okay, here's the way you do it in "real" life....


You're in a conversation with someone on visitation and you begin to talk to them about to a special service at your church sometime, and you get a general response, "Yeah, I'll try to be there"

and you just kinda close the conversation and head for the door, and at the door you turn around and you say,

"About that service on Sunday, I thought that maybe we could drive together since it will be the first time that you've be visiting there. Did you want to drive or did you want me to pick you up? "



or...


"What time did you say that I should pick you up on Sunday?"

Outreach Through Affirmation Of Prayer

Guys, one thing that our church has begun doing is giving those in need - lost or Christians - a Pager Prayer Pager. We then give the number out to each person in our Sunday School class. Every morning when I say my devotions I quickly run through the list of Pager Prayer Pagers, say a quick prayer for each of them, and then dial each of their numbers. This sends a page to the person in need letting them know that someone just prayed for them.

It is fairly simple idea but it has already done wonders for our outreach program. It is always a funny way that non-Christians get so overwhelmed when they discover how much Christians care and go above and beyond what a normal person would do. This Pager Prayer Ministry concept is a great way to do that. I would suggest that you guys try it out. The best thing is that it is really simple to do. You can get pagers from anywhere, but we use a Christian company that is designed specifically around Pager Prayer Ministries. You can order online at http://www.pagerprayer.com. It seems like they have been doing this for a while, so if anyone else has already begun their own ministry, let me know how it is working for you. I would be happy to share some of the praises we have had using this ministry.
 
Go to a homeless shelter and have a foot washing ceremony. Major supplies will need to be bought and prepared ahead of time, but I can tell you it is worth the money and time involved.

I work in a hospital, this is a great idea for those maybe hurting from a recent loss.

Simple Idea.

HUGS!

Be sure to ask first :-D :-D :-D

At my old college my campus ministry would give out hot chocolate on cold days at the main congregating area of campus. Or another thing we would do is grill hot dogs at the campus house, which was on the way from the dorms to the bars. :-D We got quite a few people to hang out and forget about the bars and talk about Jesus. :D We may also have saved some people some bad mornings with at least putting some food in them. If nothing else it was a seed planted that told them that Christians were willing to be with them and cared about them, possibly opening doors for someone else later to plant the final seed.
Simple, cheap and easy, but also effective.
 
wow. standing along the street and put your hands to each other like making a big cross.. that was new ! :)
 
How 'bout something which demonstrates respect for the lost. I'm thinking of something that treats them as friends, not as salvation projects. Some of the goofy things Christians do to reach out are embarrassing. Stop it! Oy vey.

Try these ideas on for size.

My wife and I interact with a good 50+ unbelievers on a regular basis - about half of them weekly and the other half monthly. She is a marathoner and trains with a group of women, almost all unsaved. Her best friend is one of these women. She was also playing bunco with another group, but that didn't work so well as half of them lived out of town. This is a really good way to meet people.

I play basketball every Saturday morning with a group of guys - mostly the same 10 - 12, but there are about 10 more who come at different times. I am on a non-Christian, non-church-based coed softball team. We are all very close friends.

My wife and I together also have board games at our house usually monthly of which only one or two of the 10-12 are Christians. This is mostly a different group than my bball friends and the softball friends.

We also play poker with another group, both a public and private game so there are two different groups there, but the private group is our tightest group of friends. We also have potlucks together, do wine-tasting (in house) and sing karaoke. These are not drunkard types by any stretch of the imagination, but are very respectable people. (Of course, I don't suggest you go the poker/wine route if you have major problems with that and I am not interested in a discussion about the theology of it. I have an M.Div. and I can determine what the Scriptures say about it, not to mention I ran the poker bit by 3 colleagues before I started - one a Baptist pastor and the other two independents.)

Some of these folks call my wife and I regularly to hang out. They know we are pastors and are not afraid of us. They call us to help them with various activities - charitable events and the like - because they know we are servants.

What is the key to all of this?? These are our friends. We love them and they love us. We do not look upon them as subjects for our salvation project, but instead we look at them as friends whom we do not want to see become lost for eternity.

We are also members of an online forum where most of the people are not Christians and we have made many other online friends. I switched my doctor to one of them and now he plays basketball with me. Another guy is a major political campaign chairman type of guy where I live - in a large capital city. Both are non-Christians, though they are Republicans, so that is an inroad right there.

Among all of these friends we have had occasion to share God with them in various ways, according to God's timing. They respect us because we respect them.

Oh, and by "Stop it!" I am not implying anyone in this thread, just my general observation that Christians often do some stupid things that just turn off non-Christians. Have a non-Christian sometime tell you the things they've seen! :o

hi every one, You can also talk to tele marketers. You tell them you listen to them after they listen to you. :D It works most of the times.
 
We are all being encouraged to write a personal tract with the church information on it.

We also stick bible verses onto beer mats when we go to the pub - it's sowing a seed.

We got to the high street and do puppet shows and free face painting.

We give out non alcholic mulled wine and mince pies at christmas.

Our home groups are organising social all through May - August to invite our non christian freinds/neighbours to so that they can get to know people from the chuech in a setting they will find much more relaxed.

I'm actually done this in different cities. Some people stop and listen, some people drive slowly by with their windows rolled down, sometimes children get behind you and want to make fun of you. And while this is a good way for people to find out what's the Bible says, it fails to bring the people to a point of decision that is to give an answer yes or no and therefore gains very very few converts. In fact all the time I'm done this I have never seen a true convert come from, that I know of.
 
A suggestion of how you can witness. Ask this question.

THE QUESTION
May I ask you a question If Yes, proceed
Are you absolutely, positively, certain sure, no doubt in your mind, that if you died this moment, you would go to heaven? (silence – we are waiting for the conviction of the Holy Spirit – don’t encourage3 conversation until they respond)
Here is what the scriptures say 3 different times in the Bible. “For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved.†(brief pause)
Do you want to call on the name of the Lord? (if no, drop them..if yes) I’m going to tell you in a few words how to call on the name of the Lord. Then I’ll prove to you how you are saved.
Pray after me: Lord Jesus, thank you for coming into my life. Forgive me of my sins. Save my soul. I accept you now.
Do you have any different feeling now that you have prayed? If yes…That is the Holy Spirit stirring your body.
Now let’s go back to what the Bible said. “Whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved.â€Â
Now we are certain you called on the name of the Lord. I heard you; you heard yourself, and God heard you. Under these conditions, only 2 things can exist.
1`) You are saved now and forever, or 2) God is a liar.
Which do you think is correct? (pause and remain silent)
This question has brought wonderful results for over 25 years.
Literally thousands of people have responded positively to this message and question and have asked the Lord to save their souls.
