Touching An intentional plan for church
growth which utilizes strategic teams and individual commitments to
enlarge the worship crowds, reach the unchurched, strengthen the small
group ministry and evangelize the lost.
Touch ministry participants can expect spiritual warfare as they
seek to lead all people to become committed,
maturing followers of Jesus Christ.
Each team is a part of a larger army of believers who are
committed to touching their community with Christ’s love.
Scouts

Primary Target Plan
The Rangers will be divided into small teams.
These teams will be responsible for making a series of personal
contacts with prospects during the three weeks which follow their first
visit. These contacts will
be made via phone, email, postal mail, and visits.
Each team will have a team leader. Teams will be made up of 4-8 members. Assignments
will be made to team leaders no later than Monday evenings.
Team leaders will share prospect information with all team
members and begin to make assignments.
Once an assignment is made, the team member will make the contact
according to his/her schedule and will report back to the team leader
when the contact has been made. List of Contacts to be Made by Each Team
Minimum
of three email or postal notes.
Minimum of two phone calls.
Minimum
of one personal visit.

prayer for the prospects. Special forces members will
seek to reach family, friends, coworkers, and acquaintances through
relationship evangelism. Primary Target Those with whom you come into contact on a regular basis, family members,
neighbors, and friends. Plan
Special forces will intentionally seek to reach the lost and unchurched
through the normal course of their lives.
They will look for ways to minister to and share Jesus with those
whom they know and with whom we relate on a regular basis.
There will be no regular meetings of this team, due to the nature
of this strategy. Team
members are encouraged to report witness experiences with the team
leader, as well as other team members. Team Member Responsibilities: Maintain an active prayer list of lost people.
Medics
Medics will make encouraging contacts to small group ministry members who
are absent. Primary Target Members of HDBC small groups who are absent. Plan
The medics will meet once a month to make contacts with those who have been
absent in small groups and Sunday School classes.
Contacts will be made through letters and phone calls.
