Evangelism is a process, not an event. Thus our conference evangelism outreach did not end on March 28 when the Voice of Prophecy meetings ended.
From the very beginning the intent was to make disciples by connecting people to a local church. The metro churches that were part of this large-scale series were trained in follow up methods to make sure there is greater retention of the new members.
Several of our churches are conducting follow up meetings focusing on topics like finance and prophecy studies on the book of Daniel.
We were pleased to have Dan Jackson, president of the North American Division, conduct a weekend reaping series in one of our churches in May.
Another benefit from these meetings is that this emphasis on a process has resulted in our lay members being much more involved in evangelistic ministry and working closely with the pastoral staff.
