My Friendship Connection is the most powerful evangelism tool available, it taps into your most valuable resource, your people. My Friendship Connection is a complete strategy specifically designed to mobilize your church for a great day of outreach AND bring churches together for a common cause. My Friendship Connection is SIMPLE. POWERFUL. PROVEN. But don't just take our word for it! Read comments of the pastors that have used it. I am sure you agree that we are much stronger when we work together. The sermons, small group lessons and short daily devotionals dovetail together and create a genuine excitement and momentum that will lead to a great day of outreach.
The strength of this strategy is demonstrated in research that clearly tells us that 86% of the people, who trust Christ, come because of the simple invitation of a friend. It is based on the principle found in John Chapter 1 of family reaching family and friends reaching friends. This principle is timeless and will work in any church regardless of your size or location.
Recent statistics show us that 70 – 80% of churches have plateaued or are declining, have little emphasis on evangelism, and baptisms are continually declining. In 2006, we as a group baptized 64,237 less than in 1959. Last year, approximately 10,000 of our churches baptized no one, NOT ONE. In other words, we are stuck, BUT we don’t have to stay that way! We can begin to change, change our churches and change our nation, if we will come together and move towards a common goal, “building the kingdom by simply bringing a friend.” Will you and your church join with us? My Friendship Connection offers the step by step strategy that has proven to bring hope and help. My Friendship Connection, written by Dr. Elmer Towns and Rev. Vernon Brady is a comprehensive strategy that will walk you through the necessary steps of organization, implementation and follow up. This will add excitement to your church, engage the majority of your members in praying for and inviting the lost and will reach people for Jesus Christ! Each resource kit includes sermons and lessons from some of our greatest Christian leaders such as, Dr. Johnny Hunt, Pastor of First Baptist of Woodstock, GA; Dr. Bobby Welch, Past President of the SBC, and Jonathan Falwell, Pastor of Thomas Road Baptist Church, Lynchburg, VA. Other contributors also include Dr. James Merritt, Dr. Mac Brunson and Greg Stier, President of Dare 2 Share Ministries and of course, Dr Elmer Towns. It’s ALL there in the 300 page binder. Everything you need, including the new intro DVD! Think about it. For less than sending one kid to camp or filling your church bus one time with gas, you will receive everything you need to mobilize and engage all ages of your church to reaching the lost. Even the smallest church will be able to afford to participate. On November 4, 2007 we put the strategy and this material to the test, using 42 churches scattered across Virginia and North Carolina, ALL participating on the same day! What happens when a group churches come together to reach their friends and bring them to church to hear a gospel message? We tested all types and sizes! City churches, country churches. Young churches and old churches. Small churches that average 20 in attendance, large churches with over 12,000 and everything in between. There were even churches with new pastors and other churches that had long time pastors. And yes, there were the contemporary in style all the way to the most traditional. None of that mattered! What mattered was they invited their friends, their friends came, they preached Jesus and people got saved! Read comments from some of the participating pastors. Join with us and plan your fall outreach strategy using My Friendship Connection. With your help, we could literally shake this nation for God by engaging the largest non- threatening army ever assembled for the purpose of reaching, evangelizing and winning friends to Jesus Christ though the local church.
