How Can You Help Your People Leverage the Workplace for Outreach?

This week with John Pletcher we have talked about multiplying workplace missionaries in our small churches. If you had to grade your church on this concept, on a 1 to 10 scale, with 10 being best, what would you grade it?

Do you, as the pastor, have a good grasp on where the adults in your church work?

Have you ever viewed those workplaces as outposts where your people take the Gospel?

Have you ever considered the kind of people that your church members work with, and tried to equip each member specifically to reach out to the people around them?

Did you, prior to listening to this week’s podcast, ever truly view the people in your church, in action at their workplaces, as the best missionary outreach strategy your church could have?

How are you and the other church leaders training and equipping your people to be missionaries to their workplaces?

Let’s think out loud for a minute…

1. How do your people view themselves at their workplaces?
   
2. What do they think their roles are at work as believers in Christ?
   
3. What is your church’s outreach strategy?
   
4. How capable are your people of clearly sharing their story of faith?
   
5. How comfortable would your folks be to invite a co-worker to your church?
   
6. What would you do with one if they attended?
   
7. How could you align a sermon series around John’s book, Henry’s Glory, and also add Sunday School or Small Group teaching, a special invite Sunday, etc. to capitalize on new visitors?
   
8. How long has it been since you have thought about anything like this?
   
9. Why not use Henry’s Glory as a fall sermon series and small group curriculum?
   

All these questions… Just a thought. :)
