GodConnects - Prayers
To keep your upcoming GodConnects classes front and center, take advantage of these four congregational prayers. As you implement these prayers in your own context, be sure to remind people to consider inviting others and, once they've accepted and arrived, receive them gracefully.
GodConnects - PDF Referral Form
This little form is a critical piece of the GodConnects equation. Personal referrals are "qualified" leads. In other words, a bridge or connection is already in place to make contact and extend a hearty invitation for that person to come and experience the class. Keep these cards handy and offer them regularly. A GodConnects referral team can pray about these and, when appropriately indicated on the card, make direct contact with the referred individual.
GodConnects - Prospective Member List (XLS)
Now while personal referrals are an excellent source for potential new members, they may not commit to attending GodConnects after a single contact, or even two. This Excel form gives you a quick database of individuals, including space for basic residence data, e-mail info, family structure, church background, interest level, notes, and more. An up-to-date spreadsheet is a great tool for making calls and following up with contacts.
