DOUBLING THE CHURCH IN ONE DAY

I want to grow our church. I want to double our church in one day. Sounds crazy? Growing and doubling worship in one day is my goal. And doubling our church in one single day is not out of the question. All we have to do is have everyone in worship invite and bring a friend with them. Statically, everyone knows 7 people who do not attend a church regularly. “The average church member,” NET RESULTS states, “has a network of 7 friends who are not regular church attendees whom they could invite to worship. If we invite these seven four of these seven (63%) will respond positively to the invitation. And most likely will not show up. However, one of these seven (25%) will show up for worship, they will visit the church only because they were invited!
Somewhere between 78 – 90% of the people in worship on any given Sunday are there because they were first invited by someone that they knew and trusted. Who do you know who is not active in a church? Who do you know who is hurting, or lonely? What family members and neighbors don’t go to church? What about the people you work with? Do they go to church anywhere?
NET RESULTS also point out that people are more open to being invited to church today than they were in the past. Some numbers are: 52% in the 1980’s, 63% in the 1990’s and it appears to continue to rise into the new millennium.
Let’s grow the church. Let’s extend the Kingdom of GOD. Let’s grow the church, doubling worship attendance in one single day. Who are you going to invite and bring to worship this week?
