GIS: BIBLE (Basic Instructions Before Leaving Earth) gospel tract cards

3 November, 2016 By Yvon Prehn 2 Comments

Salvation Card, side one
These cards are a concise reminder of the core purpose of our churches: salvation in Jesus.

When I first saw these cards I was thrilled because I'd just finished writing:

However, in the midst of this huge spiritual hunger in our world, which is motivated by the conviction of the Holy Spirit, people are not coming to the one source, the Church, that is the only true source of eternal life, forgiveness, and peace through faith in Jesus.

This is not happening because the Church is deficient or Jesus is no longer Savior. This is happening because the church is not communicating who it is and how it can meet the deepest needs of people.

Very few people in our world today think of the Church (and local churches anywhere) as THE source of salvation, truth, or eternal life.

from: Declining church attendance and how your communications can help turn that around  (If you haven't read this yet, it is very important, please click on the title and you can go to it.)

I wrote this because I know many churches don't know how to share the main thing they are about: Salvation in Jesus.

Here is a church that has a clear focus on the essential of salvation in Jesus and has created a tool to help their people share it. Yes, it is very brief and you may want to add more to it, but please use this as an inspiration and starting point for a tool to equip your people.

Below are images of the front and back of the cards. Below them is a download for ECC Members (for information on prices and how to join, click here) in MS Word that you can modify for your church; the file also includes a ready-to-print PDF of them. I would strongly encourage that you put contact information on the cards so that if people have questions or want to respond to the message of Jesus, they have someone to contact.

CLICK on the link below to download the ZIP file containing the PDF and editable MS Word file.

GIS: Fire Escape Plans, scary to consider, but essential

20 October, 2016 By Yvon Prehn Leave a Comment

Fire Escape Plan for Churches
A great service church communicators can do is to create a Fire Escape Plan like this for your church.

What if a fire broke out at your church?

It's not something any of us want to consider and I honestly never thought about it, but in our Great Idea Swap, one ECC Member sent in an inspiring and thought-provoking collection of material that their church put together to deal with this situation. This is one of the things I love about the Great Idea Swap, is that it is about so much more than sharing design ideas, but a real exchange of MINISTRY ideas and information.

I can't describe the cards, their creation and inspiration better than she does, so I'm quoting her commentary on the materials, how they came about and ideas on how to use them: [Read more...]

Video: What to do when you’re exhausted and stressed

2 August, 2016 By Yvon Prehn Leave a Comment

I needed this today--it's from our archives, but I thought you all might enjoy it.....

We all get exhausted and stressed in our work of church communications. What should we do? Isaiah gives us the answer and the 2 minute video below will help make it practical. Watch and be refreshed!

Isaiah 58:10 Feed the hungry,
and help those in trouble.
Then your light will shine out from the darkness,
and the darkness around you will be as bright as noon.
11 The Lord will guide you continually,
giving you water when you are dry
and restoring your strength.
