The Garmans Have Arrived

Posted by clintclifton on

For those of you who follow the Iceland Project happenings… I got a call from Colby on Saturday about 3:45pm. They have arrived safely and are in the apartment. All is well. The travel was mostly smooth and they are settling in. Colby said that they would not have Internet for a few more days so updates may not be frequent during the first week. Colby said they could see Hallgrímskirkja out of the window and it was a beautiful sight.

The Law of Seven Touches

Posted by clintclifton on

Visitor LetterSo I’m reading a book for school that taught about the Law of Seven Touches.. The book states, “the church that contacts the most people, the most times will have the most growth”… This sounds like marketing 101 to me and makes me want to run for the hills… However, we are having the “back door” problem I mentioned a few posts ago. So, I have decided to take the advice of my evangelism professor and implement the Law of seven touches and see how it goes.

Touch #1- Advertisement or personal invitation to church (Before Sunday)
Touch #2- First Time Guests Booklet given at Church (Sunday)
Touch #3- Follow Up Form Letter from the Pastor delivered to home. (Sent Monday) (attached for your review’s and suggestions)
Touch #4- Bread Delivery (Mid-week)
Touch #5- Weekly Church Email (Thursday)
Touch #6- Phone call from the Pastor (Thursday)
Touch #7- Postcard to the home saying – Hope to see you back this Sunday (Sent Wednesday to arrive Friday)
