10. No buses/vans left idle |
Champions for Life can use your bus or
van (and driver) to carry volunteers to correctional facilities, to share
the gospel message to others. |
|
|
9. No food goes to waste |
CFL feeds people - volunteers at
banquets, platform speakers all weekend - we can use food, coffee, water,
helping hands, etc. |
|
|
8. Your volunteers need
practice |
Whether
serving food, selling T-shirts, greeting people at the airport, cooking for
the banquet, or sharing the gospel message, we want to make sure your
volunteers get the practice they need to serve at your church.
|
|
|
7. Help save the taxpayers money, by reducing recidivism
(a big word for return to prison).
|
Without
knowing Christ and a Bible-based discipleship program, between 68% and 78%
of inmates will return to prison in 3 yrs. With Christ and regular
Bible study, between 10% and 14% return to prison (at $21,000 per yr. per
inmate) |
|
|
6. Your people can be
witnesses for
Christ
|
"But
you will receive power when the Holy Spirit comes on you; and you will be my
witnesses in Jerusalem, and in all Judea and Samaria, and to the ends of the
earth." Acts 1:8 (NIV)
|
|
|
5. Results - helping to
populate heaven |
Over
80,000 decisions for Christ last year in the three target areas of ministry
with Champions for Life. We want you and your church members to
participate in helping others to meet Jesus.
|
|
|
4. Minister to Jesus - in
prison!
|
"Then
these righteous ones will reply, ‘Lord, when did we ever see you hungry and
feed you? Or thirsty and give you something to drink? Or a stranger and show
you hospitality? Or naked and give you clothing? When did we ever see you
sick or in prison and visit you?’ And the King will say, ‘I tell you
the truth, when you did it to one of the least of these my brothers and
sisters, you were doing it to me!" Matthew 25:37-40 (NLT)
|
|
|
3. We teach your people to
share a gospel
tract
|
The
Bill Glass School of Evangelism trains Christians to ask spiritually
diagnostic questions, and to share the gospel message, using "What Do you
Think", a tract developed by Champions for Life and Bill Fay.
More than just sitting in a class - they WILL share the gospel message with
someone tomorrow.
|
|
|
2. Experience in sharing the
gospel message
|
Over
90% of our first timers say they've NEVER before shared their faith with
another person, PRIOR to their first Bill Glass event. Afterwards, 98%
said they shared the gospel message with someone that wanted to hear it.
|
|
|
1. Help us make disciples
|
"Go
therefore and make disciples of all the nations, baptizing them in the name
of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, teaching them to
observe all things that I have commanded you". Matthew 28:19-20
(NKJV)
