Christmas evangelism
Ian Carmichael / 31st October 2006
Here's some ideas for how to use some of our new Christmas resources in the lead up to Christmas:
- send friends or family one of our Christmas cards, but slip a copy of Christmas WordWatch inside it as a little gift. (Interestingly, the sales rep of the printer who printed the WordWatch tract commented to me how good he thought it was; he took it home to show his wife. It's a very easy thing to give away and will be appreciated by Christians and non-Christians alike);
- if you are a minister, send a Christmas card to any church visitors or baptism/wedding contacts who you might have met during the year, but who haven't been back to church, and include details of your Christmas services;
- use Christmas WordWatch as a "Christmas gift" for all those who attend your Christmas services or carol service;
- hand out copies of Christmas WordWatch at a street stall, and as you do so, give people a warm invitation to come to church this Christmas;
- use the Hark! The Angel Harold Sings or While Shepherds Washed Their Socks ... leaflets as giveaways at local carols events;
- if your business has customers or clients, send them a Christmas card wishing them a happy Christmas, thanking them for their business throughout the year, and pointing them towards the meaning of Christmas. We can supply cards unfolded so that you can overprint them—just ask for unfolded cards
