Tip of the Week 9-6-96
Prospecting Part 3
by John Waldrip
We're trying something brand new that seems promising.
Our town has a deteriorating downtown that has been completely revitalized by
a Friday night street fair that polls indicate bring 2,000-3,000 first time
visitors into the city from the surrounding Los Angeles county (which is
really solid metropolis).
Starting two weeks ago I planted two of my Christian school teachers (in
uniforms) at a table designed to display our Christian school to the
community. There was not any initial attempt to invite people to Church or
to engage in street evangelism at that point.
However, for the expenditure of four hours effort on each of the last two
Friday nights these two pairs of ladies have brought in a female visitor each
weekend. It seems the attempt to promote the Christian school ministry (we
also go soul winning four different times each week) has afforded a very
non-threatening way to heighten the curiosity of folks that I think would not
have been responsive at the door.
sponsors an event in which there are displays. You can also use the local
county fair and get space for a booth. >>>
