Healthy church · 1 of 4
The people God wants to reach are already in your life.
Your coworkers. The parents at your kids' school. The family who invited you for dinner last month. The other drivers, nurses, or line cooks who share your shift. You don't need an outreach program. You need to see the relationships you already have as the field, and then help your people see theirs the same way.
I planted three churches this way, without a launch service, a mailer, or a marketing budget. Every one of them started with a table, a friendship, and someone who was ready to hear. I've watched churches of thirty reach more of their neighbourhood than churches of three hundred, simply because everyone in the room knew they were sent.
Immigrant churches have something most churches in Canada would give anything for: proximity. You live, work, and shop among people who don't know Jesus, and many of them share your language and your story. The gap is rarely opportunity. It's confidence, and a simple way of doing it that doesn't feel awkward.
That's what I help with. Not a program. A way of seeing, and a few tools your people can actually use.
A short word about cost
I received everything I know for free. People poured into me when I had nothing to give back, and charging for this work doesn't come naturally to me. But I've learned that serving is healthiest when it's mutual, when both of us bring something to the table.
These prices let me do this well, for many leaders, for a long time. They're a starting point, not a wall. If your church can pay them, thank you, and you're making it possible for me to serve a church that can't.
And if your church can't, please don't let that stop you from reaching out. I would hate for a leader to go without help because of money. Tell me honestly where you are, and I'll explore how I can serve you anyway. Nobody has ever been turned away over money, and nobody will be.
A Saturday morning (about four hours) with your core team. We map every relationship your church already has with people who don't yet know Jesus, and we leave with names, not ideas. You'll also leave with a simple rhythm for praying for those people and following up.
You bring: your core team and an honest list. I bring the process, the worksheets, and a written summary afterward.
A simple, contextual way of sharing the gospel that fits your culture and your people's comfort level. Written in plain language, in English and your heart language, with a one-evening training you can run yourself.
You bring: how you'd naturally explain the gospel to a friend. I bring the writing, the design, the translation formatting, and the training outline.
For planters. A written plan for how you gather your first fifty people relationally over six to nine months: who, where, what rhythm, and what to do when people start showing up. Includes two coaching conversations along the way.
You bring: your context and your calendar. I bring the plan and the check-ins.
A “people of peace” guide for your congregation, so families know how to open their homes to neighbours God has already placed nearby. Includes a short teaching outline for you and a printable guide for households.
Help putting into words why your church exists and who it's for, in a way a new believer and a long-time member can both repeat. Two conversations and a written vision statement with three or four supporting lines you can use on Sunday, on your website, and in your leader meetings.
If you're an elder or board member
All of this can be arranged by your leadership team as a gift to your pastor and your church. Here's how.
A free one-hour call to hear your story and see where the people of peace already are.
