Grafitti/community clean up

Clean up an area you are ministering to.
Door knock the houses requesting to clean graffiti on their property.
Door knock houses in the area advertising a ‘post clean up celebration.’
Halloween Handout
Idea submitted by Glenn Farrell on 22 October 2008
Halloween is not a ‘festival’ we want to endorse, but it falls on Reformation Day.
So we have some ‘treats’ ready along with a bookmark that explains the gospel through Reformation Day.

Hospital Evangelism
Idea submitted by Alex / UWS on 21 September 2008
Work with hospital chaplains to have Gospels and other materials handed out to patients.
Visit the local hospital and talk to patients. eg maternity ward. Seek hospital permission first.
Locality DVDs
Idea submitted by Jeremy Crooks on 14 July 2008
We are producing a local DVD for our suburb. We will hand deliver them to residents with the gospel of Luke. This will showcase and interview church members in settings that everyone recognises.
Bible distribution on campus
Idea submitted by Rob Elder on 12 June 2008
We recently distributed 1800 pocket NTs through the Gideons at UWS Penrith over just 2 mornings (so 1 in 3 students now owns a Bible!). Part of their success was that it’s unusual to see mature age people on campus + it’s very hard to say no to a granny or grandpa! Is this an opportunity for more mature age people to be involved in Bible distribution?
Pre/evangelistic event inserts
Idea submitted by Rob Elder on 12 May 2008
How about Southern Cross producing 3 ‘pre/evangelistic inserts’ a year to be distributed through local cafes, libraries, doctor’s surgeries or handed out at stations etc (similar to the insert they did on teens/youth several months ago)? Obvious times would be Christmas / Summer, Easter & Spring. We’ve done our own version up at uni and lots of people read them.
Community Welcome Packs
Idea submitted by Jeremy Crooks on 17 April 2008
Work with local councils and community groups to develop ‘welcome packs’ that can be delivered to all new residents of your suburb.
