Hosting Jarrod Davidoff to have an evangelistic Campaign at your church is a great way to increase the membership of your local church.

In the Church Campaign , Jarrod will preach salvation evangelistic messages aimed at leading people to a saving knowledge of Jesus.

In order for this Campaign to be effective,it is nessasary for the entire congregation to help. The greatest way they can help is by inviting and bringing their non-Christian friends to the church.

In this way,all those whom receive Jesus,will have your members naturally following them up,because they either live ,work or are related to them.

The Lord wants to use you as a catalyst

You may be the one that the Lord uses to share this vision for your church. Be courageous and determined in your vision, and let no one discourage you.

There are multitudes in your city that are lost in sin and despair, and through your obedience, many of them will find salvation. For a successful campaign, follow the model provided in this summary.

My prayers are with you and for you. Remember, if God is for you, who can be against you? Be a history-maker in your community and in the kingdom, by working towards and facilitating this crusade.

Steps in organizing a Church Campaign

Basic Principles

• 1.       Hear from the Lord, where to go (area) and what to do (vision)

Acts 13:2: “As they ministered to the Lord and fasted, the Holy Spirit said, “Now separate for Me Barnabas and Saul for the work to which I have called them.”

- The Lord will speak to you regarding the vision He has for you and your community.

 

• 2.      Write the vision down and formulate an evangelism strategy

Habakkuk 2:2-3 – “Then the Lord said to me, “Write the vision and make it plain on tablets (paper) that he may run who reads it. For the vision is yet for an appointed time (God’s timing); but at the end it will speak and it will not lie. Though it tarries (takes time), wait for it (be patient); Because it will surely come, it will not tarry. (It will happen).”

This will include:

• ·         Timing / date
  •         May take 6 months to 1 year to plan
  •         You may even have a fixed yearly crusade, which grows each year in size and influence.
• ·         Size: The Lord can do wonders with size, yet most often, the budget determines the size. Generally, the larger the budget, the larger the crusade.
• ·         Influence and impact: Whom are you targeting? You need to determine your outreach target groups i.e. schools, prostitutes, etc.
• ·         Length of the Campaign:
  •         How many days do you believe it will take to achieve your objective? An average campaign may last up to a month or two and culminate with a large crusade meeting lasting:
    •           3-4 days;
    •           4-7 days;
    •           7-14 days and longer.
  •         If you can sustain your campaign for a long period (provided there is a human work force to do the work, enthusiasm in the community towards the campaign and the finances to do the work) then go for it.
• ·         Participation: Include a list of all those whom you envisage being involved. E.g. all of your church departments

 

• 3.       Share the vision with your church leadership

Share your heart and the vision you have for the church to host a Gospel Campaign with your senior pastor and close leaders. If they support it, then you know that they have a heart for the lost.  If they do not, ask for the reasons why and keep on praying and petitioning them to do so. I would encourage you to go with certain leaders and petition the pastor to host a soul-winning church Campaign.

The Lord wants there to be more Christians in your community than sinners. In fact, He wants your whole city saved. Therefore, it is time for the pastors and leaders to stand up and support these kinds of Gospel Campaign initiatives.

Take courage my friend, plan this event and go for it. There will be hundreds, thousands, even hundreds of thousands who will thank you one day in Heaven for having had the boldness to stand up to host this campaign.

Proverbs 11:14 “…in the multitude of counselors, there is safety.”

Get advice and have a Team around you that is committed to the success of this Campaign.

Proverbs 20:18: “Plans are established by counsel; by wise counsel wage war.”

Church pastors with this negative philosophy need prayer and encouragement to change.

• 4.      Prepare a budget for the campaign

This needs to be a detailed budget. For the crusade to take place, it is necessary for the entire budget to be covered. You may be wise to establish a Fundraising Committee. Their responsibility will be to help raise the finances for the crusade and manage the expenses. Place mature business leaders on this committee who can use their business influence to raise the finances from other business leaders and their acumen to manage the finances wisely.

Luke 14:28 – “For which of you, intending to build a tower, does not sit down first and count the cost, whether he has enough to finish it.

29 Lest, after he has laid the foundation, and is not able to finish, all who see it begin to mock him,

30 saying, “This man began to build and was not able to finish.”

31 Or what king, going to make war against another king, does not sit down first and consider whether he is able with ten thousand to meet him who comes against him with twenty thousand?

32 Or else, while the other is still a great way off, he sends a delegation and asks conditions of peace.”

Be realistic yet faith filled when setting your budget. Consider which people to get financially involved. Attempt to pay for the campaign before it even starts. I agree in taking up offerings in Christian events, but there should not be a heavy burden at this Salvation crusade, to pay for the budget, from the people that you are trying to reach.

Your budgets and the size of your Campaigns will increase in size, as you are faithful.

• 5.      Approach and Give Save The World Foundation a proposal

• a)     Set your vision down.
• b)     Have a proposed budget and a commitment in place.
• c)     Show your evangelistic strategy for the campaign.

• 6.      Sharing Your Vision with the Churches Main Leaders

• You as the Senior pastor of the church decide to host the campaign or if you need the Board’s approval share the vision of the Campaign and then work towards it.

• 7.      Campaign Launch Meeting

This is for all your church pastors and leadrers that you anticipate will be actively involved in the aspects of the Crusade.
