2. Select & Purchase Your Giveaway Items
You'll also want to consider books to give away to your guests during your event. Offering a free gift, Bible studies, and their very own Bible, will help your guests feel valued and remember their experience with your church each time they look at your gifts. Here are the suggested resources you can use for Forecasting Hope:
Adventist Book Center Literature
The book "When God Said Remember" is offered as a free giveaway during the Forecasting Hope series, so you'll want to purchase this book ahead of time.
Below you'll find some other great resources if you are wanting to provide additional items as giveaways during your series.
3. Create Your Follow Up Bible School (Optional)
Operating a Bible School during the evangelistic meetings can be very effective. This will help to anchor people in the Word of God and re-enforce the preaching they hear during your series.
- Choose 1-2 reliable leaders to operate the Bible School table.
- They will register students, distribute the lessons, and grade the lessons.
The Bible School staff will have direct contact with the interests coming to the meetings. Choose your best lay leaders, preferably Bible workers, Sabbath School teachers, or those active in giving Bible studies.
Bible School Instructions
This printable guide will help your Bible School team prepare for enrollment, grade lessons, and continue to guide guests after your meetings have concluded.
Online Interest Tracking Software
More than just a database, this online CRM helps your church manage interests on their way to membership. View all Bible study requests, event pre-registrations, segment your lists, add notes, and track their activity through every interaction they have with your team.
