About the Event
SEries OVERVIEW
Did the Bible predict the darkness and injustice we struggle with today?
Bible prophecies have been unfolding right in front of our eyes and have predicted human history with 100% accuracy. Global government chaos, natural disasters, wars and devastating sickness across the planet have all been foretold—and there is more to come.
Series Trailer
How it works
The Promise Prophecies is a full-message evangelistic series that will present the hope found in Revelation in a whole new way.
For the reaping meeting, there are three innovative elements: the environment, the presentation, and the follow up.
For your environment, we recommend you set up your sanctuary or meeting hall with tables, to help create a natural way to break out into small groups. If you cannot do tables, make sure that your chairs or pews are set up in a way that encourages people to gather towards the front, rather than spread out. And make sure you have people from your church in each row to help facilitate breakout sessions.
The other innovative elements of the series are a professional video presentation and follow up podcast series which will be provided for you to incorporate into your meetings.

HOSt Resources & Training
1. Provide Your Event Information Form
SermonView is excited to partner with the Texas Conference for The Promise Prophecies to help with the marketing for churches in this evangelistic effort.
We've bundled the most effective promotional resources in a mixed marketing package to give you the best coverage your specific church needs to engage your members and reach more people in your local area. Fill out this form to send us your specific details such as start dates and venue address for your upcoming event, then we'll get started on your campaign design.
Don't worry, you'll have a chance to look over everything before anything gets printed, so you'll have opportunities to review each item ahead of time.
2. Get Your Coordinating Bible Studies
1. Sessions 6, 12, and 15 each have two Bible study handouts.
2. As the meetings progress, you can order less of each Bible study. For example, if you think your opening night crowd will be 60 people, order 75 Bible studies for Session #1. By Session #6, you could drop the order to 60, for example. Keep lowering the number based on your best guess for crowd size. By the last session, you may only need to order 30 or 40 Bible studies.
3. For your Sabbath morning sessions, make sure you order enough Bible studies to cover your Sabbath morning attendance since you are adapting your worship service to follow the session format, and most people will want a copy.

The Promise Prophecies was first launched in April 2023 with a select group of churches. These pilot churches were part of a cohort where we tested the format and fine-tuned the series. We learned a lot about how to support hosts and how to improve the series for other churches in the future.
The following training webinars are from this soft-launch group. All of the training resources you see here still apply to churches wanting to host the series today. Be sure to watch each video and share these with your team for an added training element for your program.
On April 18 we held our final group training session for all host churches providing a full walkthrough for the event. We covered how transitions work from videos to guided discussions and the various meeting appeals, giveaway materials, and onsite resources for your guests.
On April 5 we held another group training session for all host churches covering the guest attendance software you'll be using for your event. We understand new technology can sometimes feel uncomfortable to learn, but this software is really easy to use and we’re here to walk you through it and answer any questions.
As a church hosting The Promise Prophecies, you get a year-long Bible study lead generation campaign with SermonView Evangelism Marketing to help you build connections in your community leading up to your event and the rest of your evangelistic cycle. Once you are signed up, keep an eye out for more details from SermonView about your specific LeadGenerator campaign.
"What is LeadGenerator?"
LeadGenerator is a program by SermonView Evangelism Marketing that uses online advertising to offer free Bible studies to people in your area. All ads are handled by SermonView's social media accounts, so you won't have to manage content or comments, and SermonView will automatically send each lead to your team to deliver the Bible studies and work towards building connections.
Once you sign up to host The Promise Prophecies, you will receive a welcome box with more details and resources for your volunteer teams that will be going to the door like team guides with connection tips, greeting cards and volunteer lanyards.
Connect with real people each month.
We guarantee your Bible study requests.
Learn more about our lead guarantee at: https://biblestudyleads.org/interest-guarantee
"What ads will people be responding to?"
God Cares Theme
Prophecy Theme
No matter the theme, each ad is clearly an offer to study the Bible.
At the Door Connection Tip:
Make a good first impression by making the right introduction.So far the only brand your Bible study leads have seen is what was used on the ads which is "My Free Bible Study". So make sure when you go to the door you wear your volunteer lanyard which displays the same logo and introduce yourself as part of the My Free Bible Study team. This will help them remember the request they made online and help your initial introduction start off on the right foot.
"What studies should I use?"
The online ads your leads see won't prescribe a specific Bible study, but rather, promote a theme. (You may end up offering a variety of Bible studies throughout the year.) Check the offer details within each of your lead's interest profiles within InterestTracker to see the theme of the ad that they responded to.
Considering the theme of each ad someone responds to allows you to choose the Bible study that best represents your church and also directly speaks to their spiritual interest, which will encourage a positive start and continued connection.
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.
New to InterestTracker?
Don't worry, when you sign up to host The Promise Prophecies, SermonView will set up your church and your pastor as the Church Administrator to help get you started. (Keep an eye out for an email from InterestTracker with your account details.)
Learn more about the software including how to add the rest of your team (and which roles are going to be the best fit) by watching these short training videos.
