Yes, It's Worth It
January 19 2012 / ShareHim in Pineville #523by Michael Cook
Campaign Site Narrative. The speaker assigned to this site was Michael Cook.
When church funds are dwindling and the pastor wants to hold evangelistic meetings, ShareHim is a great idea. The problem of low attendance for Evangelistic meetings, when so many members work during the week-day, can be overcome by holding weekend meetings. Our Central church decided to hold meetings on Friday night, twice on Sabbath and again on Sunday night. What we ended up doing was: I preached on most Fridays, but not all. I preached half of Sabbath mornings, and one elder preached on the Sabbaths while I was in the other church in our district. And I preached most all, but not every, of the Saturday night meetings and all of the Sunday nights. It worked out well. And for only having a budget of $500, we had one baptism.
A year later we held a series using a different program that cost the church budget close to $8,000 and still only had one baptism. ShareHim is worth it. We are planning to again hold a full scale ShareHim meeting in the spring of 2012.
