Just like you, as a pastor/leader my heart has always been to see people come to receive Christ as their Savior and walk with Him the rest of their lives. We know that our greatest resource to reach the lost is the believers in our church body; the challenge is how to train and equip them to accomplish the task.
You can’t reach your city alone. Your church body needs a strategy.
Something biblical, because it must be built on Jesus.
Something simple, that can be implemented immediately.
Something practical, that doesn’t add to their busy schedule, but uses the schedule they already have.
Going Around The Corner is a biblical, simple, and practical strategy that can transform believers into passionate, confident Christ-followers who have a desire for people to know Jesus. Building on the sovereignty of God, they will become aware that God has placed them in a mission field right in front of them, in their neighborhoods and workplaces, and be equipped to share the gospel.
HOW DOES IT WORK?
Request our materials and go through them yourself.
We are happy to send any pastor a free copy of our Guidebook to Going Around The Corner. After reviewing it, if you are still interested, request a copy of our core equipping study, Going Around The Corner, and go through the Bible study yourself. Ask God to give you a vision for reaching your city where the people in your church body live, work, and play.
Share the vision with your church leadership.
Gather your high school, college, and adult small group leaders, your pastoral staff, elders, and deacons for an initial workshop. This can be a 2-hour in-person or Zoom overview. As they catch the vision, consider scheduling a weekend workshop with both your leadership and any interested members of your church.
Fully equip the believers.
Plan a semester in which your small group leaders take their groups through the study. Ideally, your small groups are community-based and will implement the principles in the study right where they live.
Share the Gospel.
Be strategic. Where do your church members live? Give your people a vision for their own neighborhoods and workplaces. Install a large community map where your members can identify themselves as neighborhood coaches where they live. As believers catch the vision, the gospel will go forward.
Disciple new believers.
Going Around The Corner contains two chapters on equipping and establishing new believers, which your people can use to disciple a new believer, someone they led to Christ, teaching them to share their story.
Continue the cycle until Jesus returns!
The end goal is mature believers who are confident in sharing their own story of salvation, and the complete gospel story. The cycle continues, and the kingdom grows, as well as your local church.
