Session 4 – Creating a Guest-Friendly Church Environment: A virtual event for the entire church
Have you ever wondered why some people come to church once, then never come back again? Do you wish you could find a way to encourage them to return a second and third time and to become regular participants in your church’s life? During this training, you will learn why people come to church but don’t return. You’ll discover things your congregation might be doing that turn them off or make it hard for them to return. Best of all, you will find out how your church can ”stick” in the hearts and minds of visitors so that they’ll want to return and become assimilated into the life of your local congregation and into God’s kingdom. Guests who attend your reaping event will want to return so you can continue a relationship with them and eventually see them decide to continue their spiritual journey as part of your church family.
Session 3 – Cultivating Purposeful Friendships for Jesus
Cultivating Purposeful Friendships for Jesus is an empowering opportunity designed to transform your friendships and your church community.
During this training, you will take a deeper dive into Jesus’ method of evangelism, which we are told is the only method that will give us true success in reaching people for God’s kingdom.
This will not add an extra burden to your life or require extra time on your part, because you will learn how to redeem the relationships you already have in your life for the kingdom of God. You’ll receive practical tips on things you can do to build friendships and trust with the pre-Adventist people in your life.
Session 2 – Conducting an Effective Bible Study Ministry
“Conducting an Effective Bible Study Ministry” is an empowering opportunity designed to transform your church community.
During this training, you will learn about one of the most fruitful methods of growing your church through baptisms–an effective Bible study ministry.
Within Adventism, the door to the baptistry leads through a Bible study. As a general rule, churches that do Bible studies have baptisms and grow. Churches that don’t do Bible studies don’t grow.
In this training, you will find out about an excellent way to find fresh Bible study leads in your community. You will be given the formula for how to start Bible studies with people in the community you are not acquainted with. You will also gain insight into how to nurture those Bible studies into solid interests for your reaping event and ultimately, baptism into Christ’s kingdom.

I am a single mother of a wonderful, loving, intelligent, active, creative, techy, social, out-going, athletic, creative, hard-working, God-fearing teenage son.
My teen believes in the one & only loving, omnipotent Heavenly Father. He has prayed, "Lord, help Thou my unbelief...", "Lord, help me overcome temptation...", Lord, help me to grow into a Godly, respectful, responsible, loving, strong, honorable, faithful, intelligent, virtuous man."
We need major prayer. There are MUCH more distractions in this world than there ever were before. Jesus is coming back soon!
We start and end the day with family worship_hymns, prayer & scripture reading. He leads out and picks the hymns & devotional he will read. We each pick the scripture we will recite or read.
I believe it's important for him to lead out in family worship (as he will one day lead his family to the Lord), and for him to chose what songs will minister to his heart/mind (to help keep him anchored).
We've been through numerous storms in our lives, and have tried to continue to praise our Heavenly Father through the storm. We are definitely dealing with great deal. Because of our life experiences, many Christians tear us down. My son had a rough start, but the Lord has changed his life. He keeps choosing Jesus.
There are those Christians who believe that our Heavenly Father is limited. A 13 or 14 year old who received ungodly instructions from his troubled dad can't change years later, and choose to follow his Heavenly Father instead. The Bible is full of characters who had a life changing experience and became mighty men (& wonderful women) of God_ Paul, and King David are great examples.
PLEASE, please pray for a increase in finances, safety, a steady job that fits our household, peace that passes all understanding, joy, support, love, wisdom, discernment, steadfastness to our Heavenly Father no matter what 'storms' come our way.
May we all be filled and baptized with the Holy Spirit every moment of the day. May we all be surrounded with God's presence, and His Holy, mighty Angels. May we all constantly seek God's face every moment of our lives.
Thank you so much.
May the One and only true God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob, Our Heavenly Father bless you as you bless others.

I would like to request prayers for harmony, love of God, love of others, and peace in my family. I would like to request prayers for myself because I haven't physically been to church in a long time and I have no community at all. I would like prayers for myself to get my dream job. With the job I would be able to go to church in person, my life would improve greatly, and the job is one that has a very positive impact on other people's lives. Additionally, for the health and career of a close relative.

Good evening, dear sisters and brothers. I am humbly asking for prayers for my 20-year-old cousin from Kenya. She was involved in a road traffic accident while going back to college last Friday. She is in the ICU in critical condition. The steel hit her skull, and she sustained multiple fractures in her skull. She lost one eye and sustained severe head and brain damage.
She was supposed to have another surgery today, but her pulse rate is critically low. They are monitoring her. Hopefully, the pulse will stabilize, and then she can go in for surgery to help relieve pressure on her brain.
May God restore her health and grant her peace.
Unfortunately, her friend who was seated next to her passed away instantly.
Please pray for her family as well.
May God’s will be done.
Thank you!

Dear brothers and sisters in Christ,
Please pray for my husband and me. He has left our home, and our marriage is going through a deep crisis. I pray that the Holy Spirit touches his heart, brings him back to God, and, if it is God’s will, restores our marriage and family.
Please also pray for me during this difficult season. Ask God to guide my life according to His will, bless the work of my hands, provide for my needs, and show me the path He has prepared for me. Pray that He gives me wisdom, peace, strength, and faith.
If possible, please include my prayer request in your church prayer group or prayer chain. We are a young family, and this trial has been very difficult for me to bear alone. I truly believe that God is able to work in our lives and that He hears the united prayers of His people. Thank you for standing with us in prayer.
Thank you for your prayers for my husband and me.
With gratitude,

I am asking for your prayers for my marriage and my heart. I have reached my limit; I am physically and spiritually drained. I have changed and done everything possible, including completing the Love Dare, yet all my efforts are met with suspicion and lack of trust.
Please pray specifically that God breaks the chains of pride and the fear of external opinions that have paralyzed my husband, He is a God's man, his child. He is so consumed by what others think that he cannot act with truth or courage. I have done my part, and now I am surrendering this battle to the Lord. Please pray for my peace as I step back and leave this in His hands.
