Garden Competition
Idea submitted by Neil Street on 04 September 2008
To the areas this would suit, what about organising a garden competition? You could flyer or doorknock the area, and give the prize (whatever that may be) at a church lunch or afternoon tea.
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?
Gospel Messages
Idea submitted by Janet Flower on 16 May 2008
I am always looking for new devotional & prayer material to use with frail elderly clients and clients with dementia in the day centre’s I run.
Month of BBQ’s
Idea submitted by Rob Elder on 06 May 2008
How about endorsing Australia Day through till the end of February as a ‘month of bbqs’ – everyone has 1 month to arrange just 1 bbq with their neighbours or a group of other non-Christian contacts?! We had several neighbours around last weekend and it was great.
What’s your idea?
Are you looking for a specific resource but can’t find it? Do you have a resource or an idea that you’d like to share? Connect09 would like to hear from you.
You may be already using a tool, program or outreach event that could be of use to other Christians. Or maybe you have thought of something new and would like to get some feedback.
