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.

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,
