Christmas Outreach Events

Christmas is a special time and the best opportunity to reach out. Due to that, there's a special project in mind to run parallel with AFC's outreach presentations.

" Please note that this will run independently from AFC and there will be involvement of outside people."

Summary: A team of people who will follow AFC around to shopping malls, mingle with the crowd and talk to audience about the presentations with the goal of building relationships and sharing the good news.

Objective: Make friends (building relationships that will last) and disciple people where they are (end goal of sharing the gospel - which may not necessarily be at the shopping mall).

Primary Role: Pray for AFC, the presentations, the message and the work being done at the malls but AFC and this team itself.To build relationships with people, disciple them in the faith & followup with them in their walk.They will be required to talk to people about the presentation, ask questions related to the message/faith etc.. Or just make a friend whom they will be committed to follow up with.

Propose we go for

(20th) Saturday = 12.45pm-3.00pm . Sunway Pyramid

(21st) Sunday = 1.00pm-2.00pm. Tropicana City Mall

= 2.30pm-4.00pm. Ikano

= 4.00pm-6.00pm. Ikea

Team Members: Group of max 10-12, comprising of whoever is not afraid to talk to 'strangers', have compassion for the lost and is interested to make friends, build relationships and disciple people in the faith.Preferably mature Christians who have shared their faith before and are in leadership roles in their respective churches but I actually will welcome a team of people who have a heart for this - irrespective of age. Youth, young adults, aunties, grandpas etc with a heart and love for people are all welcome.Important criteria: Followup is essential. Team members must commit to pray for and follow up with these people.

Special Considerations:This team will NOT be wearing AFC uniform nor are they affiliated with AFC in any way.Team members require discretion and need carefully assess the people they share with that they are open.Discretion and discernment is necessary. Some people will be much more ready and open to the gospel than othersWe do not want to annoy people nor cram the gospel down their throats nor confuse them with 'christianese' talk.We also do not want people complaining to shopping mall management and getting AFC into trouble and Christians in general a bad nameFollow up must be done. It does not matter which church (within reason) these people end up going to.

Also, as we've mentioned, it is important to emphasis to those who are giving this opportunity a go - they need to be responsible in discipling the person they bring into the church (if that happens). If they can't they at least owe the person a follow up and follow through by directing the person to someone who can disciple them. After all, we acknowledge that the Body of Christ is made of parts.It would be great if we can have an informal post mortem to learn and improve on future initiatives.
