#12 – How to Talk about God – New Believers

Hi,

At a weekly meeting at a large university in the U.S., 70 students indicated they asked Jesus into their lives that night!

I imagine that the Christians hosting the event started organizing the responses, assigning them to Christians to set up personal appointments with these students. Maybe some could meet in the next few days (hopefully).

Maybe they found Christians to lead a Bible study and then spent the next week or two inviting people to these Bible studies. Typically, only a percent of these new believers actually join. Time lags. Growth doesn’t seem that urgent. Life moves on. Schedules continue to be busy.

Over a few days, a week, two weeks, when new believers get contacted, they are now cautious, unsure about this “group” that’s asking them to come meet with them. The urgency of growth is less felt.

There is a solution.

Wouldn’t it be great to help every new believer begin growing that day, that evening? Hours after they ask Jesus into their lives?

And, help them immediately understand their new relationship with God? That they are forgiven. At peace with God. A child of God. No longer living in darkness. They now have eternal life. And the Holy Spirit living in them.

Here’s what you do.

At the end of the event, or church service, say, “If you asked Jesus into your life tonight, please go to StartingwithGod.com, and sign up for the free Spiritual Starter Kit. You can go to StartingwithGod.com right now on your phone.”

If you are already a believer and want to receive it, you too go to StartingwithGod.com right now.”

Maybe put “StartingwithGod.com” up on the screen.

As people sign up, two minutes later they would receive an email letting them know why they could be sure that Jesus really came into their life.

The next day they would be led to an easy Bible study on how God was involved in drawing them to himself.

A couple of days after that, they would find out why he won’t leave them – ever. The series contains 7 followup messages.

At the exit door of the event, hand out a card at the door. You can print some in advance. Here they are for you:

Here are some comments from those who have received it:

“I have enjoyed receiving each and every email from you. I eagerly await anything further you send my way. I know these steps are like that of a baby that I am taking now, but God is real I know it with all my heart and He is directing my life now and I am so thankful. I love Him so much.”

“Thank you so very much. With your help my relationship with Jesus is wonderful. I knew I was “saved,” but that happened many years ago but I did not understand about “relationship,” with him. Now, I am beginning to understand and I welcome all the information I can get. [These] are wonderful,please, keep the e-mails coming to me until you run out of things to send.”

“Thank you very much for this Spiritual Starter I received. It is amazing! I can’t explain to you how happy I am. There is no doubt, Jesus I welcomed in my heart is tryring to show me great things I never saw before. Keep praying for me so that I continue to know Him better.”

At the end of the 7-part series, we offer them another series, still focused on helping them grow in their new relationship with Jesus.

As you help lead someone to Christ, encourage them to go to StartingwithGod.com, and sign up. It will speed them along, and give you a boost in your first meeting with them.

The very day a person receives Christ, they can begin growing.

Just tell them https://www.StartingwithGod.com

To your success!
