John 7:3738

Outflow 2009

• John 737-38

2
The Challenge

• If you think mission work is just for pastors,
  church leaders, and people with a seminary
  degree, prepare to think again! Each person can
  reach beyond the walls of the our church.
• Sharing the good news of Jesus is the
  responsibility of every believer. But many times
  we dont take the opportunities to share which is
  why this summer our challenge is to get involved
  in the lives of the people around our church

3
Whats already planned for Summer 2009?

• Childrens Camp
• Bible School (VBS)
• Mission trip to Waynesburg, Pennsylvania

What is being considered?

• Prayer Walking
• Surveying/City Groups
• Backyard Bible Club
• Basketball Day Camp (UPWARD Basketball)
• Community wide evangelistic block party
• Free Movie in the Park
• Fire house / Police office Snacks

Prayer Walking/Driving
6
Why Prayer Walking?

• Prayer-walking is simply praying in the very
  places we expect God to bring forth His answers.
• Prayer-walking helps us to become aware of the
  needs of others around us and pray for those
  needs
• Prayer walking is an amazing way to pray for
  individual families in our community which we may
  not other wise think to pray for
• God can do amazing things through prayer!!

7
How will we be doing this?

• When Late May and early June
• Where Back roads and communities within a 5 mile
  radius of the church.
• Who Anyone with a car or two legs. If walking,
  it is safer to be in groups of two or more, if
  driving the number doesnt matter just use
  caution.

8
How is this done?

• Prayer-walking is usually a low-profile affair
  Friends or family stroll two-by-two through their
  own neighborhoods, schools and work places,
  praying as they go.
• Once in a while, the prayers can be voiced
  allowed, but most prayer-walking is fairly quiet.
  
• Watch for the ways God impresses you to display
  his love in practical acts of kindness. Be ready
  to pray with your neighbors as opportunity may
  arise (ask people you meet if there is anything
  you can help them pray for in their lives).

9
More info.

• This will probably be done on a Saturdays for
  about two or three hours
• Someone will need to be driving around to pick
  up, drop off and check on those people walking.

10
What will be accomplished?

• As you pray for specific homes, worksites, or
  neighborhoods, you'll begin to see people as God
  might view them. You'll likely find yourself
  becoming more interested in the welfare of the
  people you are praying for. You may also begin to
  see God working in the lives of the people in
  your community.

11
Devising a Plan
12
Surveyors

• While most people are doing prayer walking other
  small groups will be speaking to people around
  our immediate area to see what needs they may
  have that we as a church can meet.
• It may be something as simple has having their
  gutters cleaned, their lawn mode, having someone
  watch their kids for a few hours or a drive to
  Wal-Mart, what ever. Just basic needs that we can
  meet to show Christ to them.
• Teams will be made up a 3 people with both men
  and women on a team. One person from each team
  should be comfortable with presenting the gospel
  if the chance arises.

13
More information

• The roads and houses will already be marked out
  so that one team will not have to visit more
  around 3-5 houses (if we have enough people
  volunteer)

14
City Groups
Take Action Show Love
15
How does this work?

• Later in the Summer we will use the information
  gathered by the surveyors to meet some of these
  needs
• We will call and talk to the people, meet with
  them, and find out the best way we can help
• From the information, teams will be sent out to
  various houses and other places around the
  community to serve

16
What is a city groups and what will they be doing?

• Just one Saturday out of the summer
• Teams will be made according to the need (even
  youth and older kids can help) and we will meet
  some of those needs.

22
Sample Station

• Passing and Receiving Drills
• Distance Passing
• (one basketball for each pair of players)
• Be sure to incorporate all three basic passes
  into this drill.
• Pair up players and have them face each other six
  to eight feet apart
• Instruct players to pass the basketball back and
  forth using a chest pass
• After several repetitions, have each player take
  one to two steps backwards and continue passing
• Continue moving players back until they are
  passing from a challenging distance

23
Choices

  about having a representative from UPWARD
  Basketball to come teach us.

  () ?
• Should we provide lunch for the kids?

  designed to present the Gospel to each person
  that plays,

  Smarter than a Fifth Grader?, a Fun Maze, etc.
• We will also try to have door prizes to give away
  to the people of the community that come in a
  hope of getting prospects for the G.R.O.W.
  ministry
• Every 30 minutes the booths will shut down and we
  will do some kind of skit, puppet show, or
  testimony where the gospel is presented then we
  will give away door prizes.
• This will require a lot if work by everyone in
  the church

27
Why this is effective?

• Offers a non-threaten way for our friends and
  neighbors to hear the Gospel
• Gas prices are high, so many families are staying
  home during the summer - it offers a fun time
  without leaving town
