Title: EVANGELISTIC FOLLOW UP STRATEGY


1
EVANGELISTIC FOLLOW UP STRATEGY
  • By
  • Passmore N. Mulambo, Director
  • Sabbath Personal Ministries
  • Southern Africa - Indian Ocean Division

2
Evangelistic Follow Up
  • The Great Commission is a command with three
    steps
  • Evangelism
  • Baptism and
  • Education

3
Retention a Key Component
  • John 15 16 You did not choose Me, but I chose
    you and appointed you that you should go and bear
    fruit, and that your fruit should remain
    (NKJV)
  • Bring FRUIT and your FRUIT SHOULD REMAIN
    (Keeping)

4
Evangelistic Follow up
  • The Emphasis is not on going much as we must go
    but, on MAKING DISCIPLES
  • The Preaching has been done
  • The Teaching has been done
  • The Baptism has been done

5
Evangelistic Follow Up
  • Follow up is a process by which the church
    achieve the great goal of Making Disciples.
  • The scandal of evangelism is to preach the gospel
    to the people and fail to help new converts to
    grow into becoming true disciples of Jesus Christ.

6
Evangelistic Follow Up
  • How do we follow up?
  • When do we follow up?
  • Who should follow up?

7
The Drawing Board
  • The battle is warn on the Drawing Board (The
    planning Level)
  • The Moment you plan for an Evangelistic Campaign
    Organise an Effective Follow Up Strategy.
  • The tendency is relax after the baptism and this
    what I call The Scandal of Modern Evangelism

8
Total Participation in Follow Up
  • Every member should be encouraged to invite some
    and to take care of someone - Total
    Participation
  • Individual Members should not wait to be put in a
    follow up committee for in order to do Follow
    up.

9
Follow Up! Is Follow Up
  • Follow up! is Follow Up! Follow Up! is Follow Up
  • Do not apologize about Follow Up and doing
    Following Up
  • Members should not wait for the coming campaign
    to follow up

10
The Apostle Pauls Example
  • Acts 18 11 And he continue there a year and six
    months, teaching the word of God among them. NKJ
    (in Corinth)
  • Its NOT HIT and Run but its an intentional
    continuous process from the beginning to the end.

11
New Members Participate in Follow Up
  • The how part- Is by INVOLVING new members in the
    life of the church following baptism.
  • Do not keep new converts at bay or at layby.
  • New Members should be encouraged to invite old
    friends to join them.

12
New Testament Nurture in Follow Up
  1. Personal devotion life- They by example in
    commitment to God (Acts 4 13-31)
  2. The Oikos Factor- House to House Doctrine,
    fellowship, breaking of bread prayer (- (Acts
    242)
  3. Corporate Worship and praise- Acts 246)

13
  • Involvement and Witness- Share possessions (Acts
    4 32-35)
  • Use all available opportunities such as Kitchen
    parties, Weddings, Funerals and official meetings
    to share the joys you have in Jesus.

14
Ellen G White
  • After individuals have been converted to the
    truth, they need to be looked after. The zeal of
    many ministers seems to fail as soon as a measure
    of success attends their efforts. They do not
    realize that these newly converted ones need
    nursing,--watchful attention, help, and
    encouragement

15
Ellen G White
  • These should not be left alone, a prey to Satan's
    most powerful temptations they need to be
    educated in regard to their duties, to be kindly
    dealt with, to be led along, and to be visited
    and prayed with. These souls need the meat
    apportioned to every man in due season.
    Evangelism p. 351

16
Ellen G. White States
  • Preaching is a small part of the work to be done
    for the salvation of souls. God's Spirit convicts
    sinners of the truth, and He places them in the
    arms of the church. The ministers may do their
    part, but they can never perform the work that
    the church should do.

17
Ellen G White
  • God requires His church to nurse those who are
    young in faith and experience, to go to them, not
    for the purpose of gossiping with them, but to
    pray, to speak unto them words that are "like
    apples of gold in pictures of silver."
    Evangelism p. 352

21
Visitation in Follow Up
  • Key Strengths for Effective Visitation
  • Capacity to share friendships
  • The longing to help with specific human hurts and
    hopes

22
Visitation in Follow Up
  • 4. Remember to keep your visit simple and
    short- do not stay too long.
  • 5. Do not leave without prayer.

23
Follow Is Follow UP
  • Think of how people in love follow up on each
    other!
  • Think of how someone follows up on buying a Car
    or House!
  • Think of how a lady follows up on someone to make
    her hair do or do her make up!

  • That PASSION, Effort and COMMITMENT!
  • That is what God needs from every member during
    Evangelism Explosion.
