get smart and keep learning how to stay smart about evangelism. This article
raises critical questions and provides clues around the matter of helping our
congregations raise their I.Q.; that is, their "Invitational Quotient".

raising our IQ matters: non-church-going folks are just not as patient as they
used to be with things that aren't working; and that apparently includes churches. [Click HERE to read more.]

TCP Leadership Series Book of the Week
The Samaritan Way by David Crocker Many church members get a taste of community ministry through outreach
events or mission trips. When the event is over, many are left yearning for more. They desire more frequent experiences of that kind of
ministry, and want something that will change their lifestyle altogether.
For churches looking to make the next step in community ministry, The
Samaritan Way will lead you there. David Crocker offers readers a way to
transition from one day of intensive compassion ministry to a lifestyle of
compassion ministry. See and purchase this book at TCP Resources Store. |
