I'm reading through Brother David Hamrick's book "Waking the Sleeping Giant." I'm loving this material. It is a thought-provoking book. And the ideas are worthy of exploring. This book is a treasure.
For those who are seeking advice about outreach, I encourage you to read the content in this book. It has many nuggets of gold in it.
The book has fantastic outreach ideas. One centering on children's Bible class. That is novel in its approach. From the growth and success of such a work, this method is worth looking into.
The chapter that shows... ways to work with visitors is worth noting and implementing. The strategies are well developed. Seems like too many churches don't have any idea what they are doing in that regard.
I'm loving the wealth of advice on how to retain a new convert. The book has solid material to read through...on how to keep new Christians, from falling through the cracks, (which can be applied to older saints).
The book (on page 121) outlines what would happen if a few people did evangelism regularly. A circular pattern of converting, training converts to convert, etc. The thoughts behind this are powerful. And encouraging when reflected upon.
One of the best evangelism "how to" books I've come across.
