faith, encouragement for regular testimonies, and spiritual connection are all equally
important.

THE MEAL'

Using a meal can be an effective way to encourage people to give their lives to Jesus Christ.
However, this should be done in authentic and respectful ways. Here's how to proceed:

1. Community Events:

• Organize community events where food is one of the attractions. For example, arrange
an annual church picnic, a Thanksgiving dinner, or an international food festival.
Ensure that these events are open to all, regardless of their religious beliefs.

2. Warm Welcome:

• Create a welcoming and warm environment where visitors feel comfortable. Ensure
that church members are ready to engage in friendly conversations with visitors.
•
3. Meal Sharing:

• Periodically organize meals after religious services or special events. This provides
members and visitors with an opportunity to connect over a meal.

4. Meals for the Needy:

• Dedicate a portion of your ministry to providing meals to those in need within the
community. Demonstrate your church's compassion towards people in need.

5. Personal Invitations:

• Encourage your members to invite their friends and family to events where food is
served. Personal invitations are often more effective.

6. Advertising:

• Let the local community know that your church organizes public events where food is
provided. Use social media, local announcements, and billboards to inform the public
about these events.

7. Remain True to Your Mission:

• While offering a meal can attract people, make sure your church stays true to its
spiritual mission. Don't make food the sole focus, but use the opportunity to share your
faith and values.

8. Request Feedback:

• After food events, ask visitors what they enjoyed and whether they would like to learn
more about your church. This can open the door to deeper conversations.

The goal should not only be to attract people with meals, but also to warmly welcome them,
take an interest in their lives and issues, rebuild their trust, and offer them an opportunity to
discover faith and spirituality within your church.

FACEBOOK PAGE (SOCIAL MEDIA):

INCITING PEOPLE TO COME TO OUR CHURCH THROUGH SOCIAL MEDIA.

people, new residents in your area, etc.

accurate information about services, schedules, activities, and more.

3. Use Sponsored Posts:

• Create sponsored posts that highlight the positive aspects of your church, like the
community, special events, children's programs, prayer times, charity projects, and
more. Be sure to include high-quality images.

4. Target Your Ads:

• Use Facebook's targeting tools to show your ads to people more likely to be interested
in your church. You can target by location, age, interests, and more.

5. Video Ads:

• Video ads are often highly engaging. Create videos introducing your church, its staff,
activities, and members. These videos can give people a glimpse of what to expect
when they visit.

6. Targeted Campaigns:

to promote these events specifically.

what works best and adjust your strategy accordingly.

messages, and information about upcoming events.

Using social media advertising can help raise awareness of your church, attract new visitors,
and inform them about what your church offers. Ensure that your message is authentic and
remains faithful to your church's mission.
By implementing these strategies, you can contribute to the growth and vitality of our church.
Ensure that all church activities are centered on love, faith, and service to others.
