With the global outbreak of COVID-19, churches are scrambling to solve their local Sabbath services, let alone figure out evangelism. But there is no better time to reach your community than now.<\/strong> More than ever, it is our calling to reach those who are hurting and introduce them to our biblical message of hope and wholeness.<\/p><\/div>

1. Online Reaping Event from It Is Written <\/em>- April 17<\/h1>

It Is Written is supporting local churches throughout the NAD with a full message series being hosted by John Bradshaw. This online-only event, Hope Awakens<\/em>, will resemble the Net meetings of old in the way that it drives interests from across the country into a professional full-message series. Then Virtual Bible Coordinators (some can be trained at your church) will continue to engage and visit with the interests. This event is right around the corner and participating churches need to register before the end of this week.
\n
\nWhen: Starting April 17, 2020.\u00a0<\/strong>Churches need to register before the end of this week to participate.
\n
\nFormat<\/strong>: Full-message series online hosted by It Is Written.
\n
\nCost: <\/strong>$2,500 and up, based on church needs for marketing.
\n
\nWho is this for<\/strong>: This is a great program for any church\u00a0that had planned a reaping event for this spring, and feel they need to still do it.\u00a0Many churches are not capable of putting together their own production,\u00a0and\u00a0for\u00a0this event,\u00a0It Is Written\u00a0will handle everything.\u00a0

2. Bridge Event from the Voice of Prophecy<\/em><\/h1>

The Voice of Prophecy is recommending a bridge event for this season, and we think this has a lot of merit. By using the resources from Shadow Empire<\/em> you can put together a multi-night event with high-quality video and an interactive study time online. There are a few restrictions to protect this content, but your church will have plenty of flexibility to make this a great introduction to your community.
\n
\nFormat: <\/strong>Video series that requires an online meeting platform. We like Zoom\u2014click here to learn\u00a0why.<\/a>
\n
\nCost: <\/strong>$49-$5,000, depending on your current access to these materials, participation in special offers, and marketing to your community.
\n
\nWho is this for: <\/strong>If your church has the means to put together your own meeting but needs quality content to engage viewers, this is for you. You\u2019ll build community that will help you fill seats in a full-message series this fall. But it does require some technical skill, so be prepared to test your system first.

3. Your Own Online Reaping Event<\/h1>

<\/p>\n

This has been the big question: \u201cCan we simply move our meeting online?\u201d<\/strong>
\n
\nWe believe that for many churches this level of content development and technology may be out of immediate reach. However, we also know many churches are\u00a0capable and excited about these types of programs. SermonView has modified their registration platform to be a great tool for online meetings\u2014including automated reminders for each meeting through email\/text. You provide the content, and we\u2019ll use our marketing team to help get your community to the meeting platform of your choice.\u00a0
\n
\nFormat: <\/strong>Your meeting, your content, your platform. It is all up to you.
\n
\nCost: <\/strong>$295 and up. This really depends on the marketing efforts we provide. We are currently offering packages with registration, Facebook\/Instagram ads, Twitter ads, and Google ads.
\n
\nWho is this for:<\/strong> This solution is for a\u00a0church that is excited for\u00a0the flexibility or the timing to try a new platform. If your church wants to roll up their sleeves and get to work innovating online evangelism, this is a way to keep everything local. You can choose between a full-message series and a bridge event based on your fall plans and needs.

4. Online Lead Generation<\/h1>

SermonView has been handling online lead generation for a few years now and this program is seeing its biggest success yet. <\/strong><\/p>\n

Our program is now generating hundreds of Bible study leads every week for churches across the NAD. Every part of the country is responding better than before the pandemic and this reflects the way God is using this situation to point people to Him. Our program allows for flexibility of resources, and offers a prayer phone and online system that help you better connect with people in need in your community.<\/p>\n

Format: <\/strong>We handle everything. You receive the leads.<\/p>\n

Cost: <\/strong>$500 and up. We're seeing an\u00a0average cost of $15 to $20 per lead currently in most parts of the U.S.<\/p>\n
