# 10 – Make Every Event Evangelistic
• 1. Advanced planning with the goal of providing the best quality
possible based on the available resources
• 2. An understanding by the membership that the event has an
evangelistic purpose or at least an evangelistic component
• 3. An emphasis on prayer for the event
• 4. Intentional invitation of the unchurched – otherwise it is just
church fellowship
• 5. An atmosphere that is welcoming to guests
• 6. A testimony or message with a clear gospel presentation with an
opportunity for the unchurched to respond.
• 7. Guests should be registered and prospects discovered to
connect to future ministry opportunities
• 8. Plan to follow up on guests and decisions
