SUGGESTIONS ON HOW TO PARTNER WITH YOUR AUDIENCE

• Lead your audience to anticipate their role in being on mission with God through establishing a personal partnership with them and your ministry.

• Develop intercessory prayer partners through:

• Developing and sharing cards or sheets that state specific needs that fellow Christians can commit to lifting up to the Lord on your behalf.

• Introduce the current copy of the NAMB’S On Mission Prayer map. This prayer activity leads believers to pray over North America for a 31-day period. It is ideal for a church-wide, mission education organization, Wednesday Night Prayer Service, Sunday School class or other small group strategy for involving people through on mission praying.

• Strengthen church families’ financial support at North American Missions through promoting how giving through the Cooperative Program and to the Annie Armstrong Easter Offering for North American Missions impacts your ministry.

• Partner with your audience through volunteerism: Share specific needs for short and long term mission volunteers regarding your ministry. Invite and challenge church families to send volunteers to join God on mission through serving Him “hands on” through your ministry.
