The Gospel we "live" is more effective than the Gospel we "preach!" We are very passionate about lifestyle evangelism at ALC. If you’ve been investing in someone's life for the sake of the Gospel and they are ready to experience the presence of God with your church family in a powerful way, there is no better opportunity than Easter. If you aren't investing in a soul, there is still time to make it happen before April 4, 2010!
After consuming large amounts of chocolate eggs, dressing up in a bunny outfit for their kids, or spent hours searching for the special "$100" hidden egg, who wouldn’t ask themselves “What’s the big deal about Easter anyway?”
On Easter Sunday, we will present the Gospel in an unforgettable way. We’ll have two identical services at 9:00 and 11:00 AM CST. Jump Student Ministries also be launching a new series in their Worship Experience that will be impact their life forever! Also, our LifeKids Team will creatively present the Gospel in their ministry environments for our kids. This will be a day to remember!
Here are four ways you can start a conversation or invite someone to share Easter @ ALC with you:
1) Pick up an ALC Easter Promotional mailer from the Information Kiosk and mail to a friend, family member, and neighbor. Follow up with a phone call and make the invitation. Make a commitment that you are bringing a guest with you to a Easter Worship Experience! Pray for direction and then...make it happen!
2) If someone is interested, but unable to come with you as a guest, share the link to the LIVE WEBCAST using your favorite social networks like Twitter, Facebook, and MySpace. You could include a message like this: "Celebrate Easter with me on our LIVE WEBCAST. Check out the ALC Website and Webcast!"
3) Post a link to the ALC website on your social network profile, make it your status or blog about it ... That will give folks something to talk about...
4) Send a video email or regular email or make link to the ALC Website your email signature. Not everyone’s a social networker. This will be a special way for your family and friends to get a personal
invitation from you!
Easter is the most effective time of the year for you to share your "Gospel testimony" with your circle of influence. If you were planning to simply observe Easter 2010 as a "personal religious Holiday", I would challenge you to think about the people God has put in your life for the purpose of impacting their soul!
Please pray for God to use you in the next few weeks to reach the un-churched, de-churched, disconnected, and those far from God! Just think about the possibilities of what Jesus will do in their life this Easter! That...will be something to celebrate for eternity!
