Visitors are untapped contacts in most congregations. It is inexcusable for visitors to walk in and walk out without a congregational plan to prospect them. Visitors are the hottest contacts and easiest prospects a congregation can possibly find. They can account for...
The church of Christ is an aging army. If we do not actively pursue and train new recruits, we will suffer great loss in our battle for souls. Sadly, the stats bear this out as now 60 percent of our units are 50 years and older, while only 13 percent are under age 30....

The New Movers program is one of the best kept secrets in the brotherhood. Although we try to inform everyone, due to its relatively new status, many still do not know about it. What if we told you that we can provide you the name and address of every new family who...
House to House/Heart to Heart produces more contacts than any work in the brotherhood. Yet many congregations do not know how to use it to its full potential. We would like to help current users of HTH improve its effectiveness. The following ten questions have been...
