Outreach Coordinators Outreach through Coordination and Teamwork Since Sunday Morning Bible Studies will remain open groups, new adults can attend and join at any time. A purposeful group will make outreach and evangelism a priority. Teachers and Directors must emphasize the fact that all Christians are commissioned by Christ as evangelists (Matthew 28:18-20). Every member of a SMBS should have a prayer list of three or more lost people in his/her sphere of influence. They need to be on the lookout for lost and unchurched adults they can bring to their SMBS. Assimilation of outsiders into a SMBS requires the teamwork of members reaching out and drawing in these new adults. Each SMBS needs a point person to coordinate these evangelistic and outreach efforts.
EXPECTATIONS FOR ALL OUTREACH COORDINATORS
