Hi Friend!

Greetings from your friends at Praise and Proclaim ministries!

Since you are a part of the Praise and Proclaim family, our hope is that this email newsletter will serve as a source of information, encouragement, and witnessing tips to help you continue to serve as a Mighty Warrior in Christ.

In this newsletter, we will give you a report from our last two outreach initiatives, provide a Facebook ad strategy, present an updated nine month plan for your congregation, and some outreach encouragement.

Would you believe that there are now 258 Mighty Warriors across the U.S. who have received training and went door-to-door to proclaim the gospel?! You are part of that family! And the Lord is using you! What a joy and privilege for us to partner with you to share the gospel.

God Bless,

Outreach initiative launched at:

River of Life - Goodyear, AZ

River of Life Lutheran Church in Goodyear recently moved into a larger store-front location. They used our outreach initiative on February 13-14 to train members how to proclaim the gospel and introduce themselves to their new neighborhood.

Joined by members of three WELS BHM district boards, the members engaged people at the door and were able to easily transition to sharing a short gospel witness. We invite you to read their stories and meet the people who participated.

Facebook Ad Campaign

We have talked to the experts and researched articles to learn how congregations can use Facebook as an outreach tool. Would you like receive a strategy on how to maximize your Facebook page and reach out to the community? Click here to download.

Outreach initiative launched at:

Cross of Glory - Vistancia, AZ

Cross of Glory Lutheran Church in Peoria, AZ is now full steam ahead in launching a second site in Vistancia. Praise and Proclaim partnered with them to launch an outreach initiative on February 24-25.

Twenty members from Cross of Glory exercised their training and boldly went out door-to-door to proclaim the gospel and the Lord provided a number of people who expressed interest.

We invite you to read their stories and pray that the Lord will bless the second-site launch with an Easter Festival service at Lake Pleasant Elementary school in Vistancia.

Are you interested in utilizing a Praise and Proclaim postcard for your congregation? Is your congregation needing a little boost to re-energize your training?

As a member of the Praise and Proclaim family, your congregation has our permission to access any of our postcards. It is our desire to put your training into action as much as possible. Would you like more information on how to launch a mini-campaign that includes a postcard mailing? Click here to inquire more.

Confessions of a Sinful Evangelist

Is failing to proclaim the gospel a sin? If a Christian ignores God's great commission... is that a sin? These questions gnawed at my conscious. God provides a remedy and an example. [Read more . . .]
