To conclude and summarise this series:
In the end the philosophy
is this: encourage your church to be invitational. Invite people to a moment. Get them in the building. Trust God - there has to be a God moment. We do the best we can and we trust that those
who come along, who are invited by their Christian friends, neighbours and family, will encounter God. At King’s it is our aim to provide the next
step for them to take on the journey and then follow up each person through our
integration team.
Each time we have a gospel
appeal I know we will see people respond.
We will have a follow-up team in place and I also know that by the end
of Tuesday evening those individuals will all have had a phone call. As a result, I feel we have been pastorally responsible
and for those people there will be a number of next steps they can take – including
joining our next Alpha course. We
integrate our whole church programme with such outreach moments.
It’s all about those who are not yet in the
room! All our prayer and
planning should ensure that when they come – having been invited by our people
– they find a place where they hear the message of God’s love and mercy. Good
News!
