In a recent article from Outreach Magazine, they quote a recent study from Lifeway Research that “61 percent of evangelical Christians haven’t shared their faith in the last six months, even though they agree it is their responsibility.” Do you need ideas to help in your evangelism and outreach efforts? Here are some Christmas outreach ideas for your church, ministry and/or community. Please leave a comment with your Christmas outreach ideas as well.
1. Do a drama, musical or short stories acted out that create conversations and shares the message of Christ and His birth.
2. Do a living nativity outside and invite the community to come and see it.
3. Create a Christmas village and sell items that have been made by people from developing areas in the United States or overseas. The money can go back to these communities. Have opportunities for visitors to be invited to your church or future ministry events.
