Great Easter/Friend Day

For those of you following up on our Easter/Friend Day, we had an ecstatic day!
(There were over 220 present) mostly unchurched, some lost. There were two saved! Wow, our church was so encouraged and excited about all of our blessings from God. One brother came to me Sunday night and said, "Pastor we need to do this again in a couple of months!"

It's probably not a good idea to do Friend Day but once a year. I've conducted "Friend Days" for over 25 years in three different foreign countries: Canada, USA, and Mongolia. They are always successful. We always get more prospects than we can follow-up on. We always get some to come back.

The purpose of Friend Day is to create an outreach to all of our friends, inviting them for one special day. I invited the Mayor of our city, and he came! It added a lot to our overall service. Everyone participated the best they could. Some folks invited their friends and they didn't come. But that's the way it is sometimes.

This was a real jumpstart for our new church. It really motivated everyone in a positive way.

If you have never tried a Friend Day outreach. What in the world have you been waiting for? It is awesome.
