EASTER - REACH Your Neighborhood & Harnett County
Easter is the best time to reach out to your neighbors and the neighborhoods around your church. *Pray for them, tell them your story, invite them to church and bring them with you! *(see FRANgelism below) We want to begin now to prepare for weeks leading up to Easter on April 9.
Also April 16 is “Fill the Tank’ GLOBAL BAPTISM DAY! Plan to fill your baptistry that day and pray for people to come to Christ via your Easter outreach efforts that you can baptize on April 16. On the last “Fill the Tank” Sunday in September 2021, we baptized 51 people in LRBA churches. Perhaps the most people baptized in one day in the LRBA history. With God's help and our prayers, we can baptize over 100 people into God’s family on April 16!
Prayer-Walk Harnett County – Simple Strategy for Easter - Mission 2023
-Prayer-Walk (drive) neighborhoods around your church or neighborhood 2-3 weeks before Easter
-Invite people to your Easter services April 9 weekend. Bring them with you. *Use door-hangers!
-Plan celebration of what God does with a FILL THE TANK Global Baptism service on April 16.
*clear door-hanger bags with Bible study booklets and JESUS DVDs are available that you can add your personal church information and invitations. Call LRBA office for outreach materials.
-Let me know if I can come help you promote or train for this outreach opportunity.
*FRANgelism is Pastor Fred Luter’s (Prince Ave Baptist – New Orleans, LA) term for his outreach strategy. He tells his people each week to reach out to Friends, Relatives, Associates (work, school, clubs) & Neighbors – FRANs. 1. Pray for them. 2. Tell them your God story. 3. Invite them to church and bring them with you!
We can use this simple FRANgelism strategy in our Easter Outreach efforts to reach our FRANs!
