Motivating to Become Involved

• Pastor – to continually cast the church’s vision for mission before the church members

• Make DVD Ministry a matter of intentional prayer

• Work with a nucleus of church members who will participate in DVD Ministry rather than expecting every church member to be involved.

• Train and equip on the use of the BEYOND SERIES

DOOR TO DOORSharing

DVDs are a resource prepared for person-to-person witnessing.

They are not designed for letter boxing. Christian friendship

creates an atmosphere where confidence and trust can grow.

• Be sure to preview the DVD.

• Take opportunities to share the DVD. Keep it casual, friendly and

natural.

• Be prepared to follow up – ask if they enjoyed the DVD and if the response is positive, offer the next DVD.

• If the response is negative, do not argue. It’s no

big deal if they say no.

• There will be other opportunities for personal witnessing.

DOOR TO DOOR Questions

• Experience has shown that people often have questions after

watching the DVDs.

• Review the content of the DVD you are retrieving

as you will be better prepared to respond to any questions.

• If you can’t answer a question, tell them:

You will do some research and will share

the results when you visit next.

There are other DVDs on the topic.

There is reading material available.

DOOR TO DOORFollow Up

• Every visit provides an opportunity to ‘grow the friendship’ and to

‘melt the ice’ a little more each time.

• Don’t be in a hurry, as the delivery of DVDs provides opportunities to

build a relationship.

• As the relationship develops, conversation will naturally turn to

topical issues and spiritual matters.

• If they have not viewed the DVD you should not be too concerned.

• The less pressure you exert on a person to complete viewing the DVD,

the greater the chances are that you will keep the interest.

DOOR TO DOOR Remember

• God loves all people.

• He will spare no effort to

connect with them.

• He will lead you to those who are seeking for

something better.
