If you feel you would like to feed back to us, but haven’t done so yet, here’s a good opportunity.

Click this text to take a very short (less than 2 minutes) online survey to tell us what you thought about Mission Week.

Hopefully you’ll feel able to tell us who you are but you can complete it anonymously if you prefer. The results will be confidential to the Passion for Life Support Team and we’ll use them as part of the process of planning and improving future evangelistic events.

Thank God for everything he has done during the preparation months and during Mission Week. We have seen Him at work in many ways throughout the week and in many peoples lives.

Thank God that at least 300 guests heard the gospel clearly last week possibly for the first time ever.

Thank God for Paul Hinton who was a great blessing to us. Pray for the church he pastors and his family who have made sacrifices for him to be with us last week. Pray for Paul as he resumes his pastoral ministry, that he was blessed and encouraged during his time with us.

Please pray…..

For those who have heard the gospel, that they would think seriously about what they have heard and take steps to find out more.

Pray that the Holy Spirit would convict people of their sin and their need for Jesus, and that they would repent and be saved.

Pray that there would be many interested in doing the Christianity Explored course, starting Monday 19th April, 7:30pm at Woodgreen.

Continue to pray for your friends and your guests who came to Mission Week events. Think about how you might follow up with them in conversation or giving them a book or DVD, inviting them to a Christinity Explored course, Church service or another event.

Pray that we would have a continuing and growing desire to see lost people saved and reach out with the gospel to those around us.

The course explores who Jesus was, what his aims were and what it means to follow him.

The format is an informal meal together followed by a DVD presentation and an opportunity for discussion and questions. You won’t be asked to pray, sing or read out loud and you can ask as many questions as you like or just sit and listen – whatever suits you.

Romans 10 v 14

Invite people two steps: tell them about the event, then ask them later if they are coming. Pray first, pray during, pray after.

1. Tell them (by phone, email, letter, post-it, face-to-face)

- Enclose a flyer or fold-out invite to do the talking – you can download to print or email flyers for the main events from the ‘Events’ page. Don’t point people to this website – it will be information overload, won’t mean much to them and will lose the impact of your personal invitation.

- Ask them to come with you.

- Answer the questions they might have about the event (check out the website for more information about the events, or phone the contact in the fold-out). If you’re not sure, tell them you’ll find out – it’s a good reason to get back to them.

- Give them time to think about it.

- Give them the freedom to say ‘No’.

- Tell them you will get back to see if they can come – keep the ‘ball in your court’.

2. Ask them if they are coming

- Must be personal, face-to-face, or phone

- Take responsibility for your invitation by getting back to see if your potential guest can come.

- Taking the initiative to follow through on your invitation stops the embarrassment for them and you.

- Pray; then GO!

- Don’t put words in their mouth, especially reasons why they shouldn’t come – you invited them!

- Leave the door open for inviting them to future events  – when we’ve heard that people have said ‘no’ to an invite, it’s almost always for a genuine reason and really just ’sorry, I can’t make it this time’.

PRAY first, PRAY during, PRAY after.

- For nearly 40 guys meeting on Friday evening (5th March) for curry at the Rajkot. Pray for great fellowship and friendship and particularly for a good number of non-Christian guys who are coming as guests. For good, meaningful conversation, opportunities and boldness to invite to Mission Week events.

- For the Dads and Toddlers event next Saturday morning. There are good relationships here so please pray that they would be strengthened and for opportunities to invite to Mission Week events. All the Dad’s received a Luke’s gospel on the last event – pray that these would be read and God would use them.

- For the continuing Christianity Explored course.

- For Shona and her team planning and praying over how we follow-up those who come to Mission Week events.

- For a sense of excitement, anticipation and preparation as we get nearer to Passion for Life Mission week.

- For Paul Hinton and the other speakers as they prepare their hearts and minds as well as their contributions.

- Have you invited anyone to an event yet? If not, pray and then invite – it’s 3 weeks to Mission Week so a good time to get people to commit events to their diaries.

How, then, can they call on the one they have not believed in? And how can they believe in the one of whom they have not heard?….

Romans 10 v 14
