The Leadership Crunch“It is piling up! How do I do it?”• Decide: • Do it • Initiate it (start it and hand it off)• Delegate it (hand it off)• Lead it (pull together a team)• But in any case, build in accountability.

Key Thoughts on Evangelism for

Children1. Orient your congregation. Most people trust

Christ prior to age 14. How should that impact the ministry, priorities, and focus of the congregation?

2. VBS is a tool that must be utilized. Be sure to have a quality, evangelistic Vacation Bible School.

3. Commit to present the gospel and follow up without apology. Likewise, commit to avoid anything that is coercive or manipulative.

Key Thoughts on Evangelism for

Children4. Appoint/Enlist a Children’s

Ministry Leader to coordinate the evangelistic and educational strategies for the congregation.

5. Ask: What must we do to be a “family friendly” church?

Key Thoughts on Evangelism for

Students1. Orient your congregation. About

65% of people trust Christ prior to age 18. How should that impact the ministry, priorities, and focus of the congregation?

2. Student ministry requires lot’s of committed volunteers to work effectively.

Key Thoughts on Evangelism for

Students3. Student ministry requires

additional social activities compared to all other groups.

4. More students can be reached if there is a blend of large and small group gathering opportunities.

5. Students reach students. Equip students to share their faith.
