1. Evangelism and Immediate Follow-Up. The church plans and conducts evangelism, and then quickly visits people who pray to receive Christ. Preferably within a day or at a minimum, within a week, a couple of people visit the new convert. Ideally the person who led the convert to Christ will be one of the people who go back to visit. The visitors from the church should assure the convert of his salvation by sharing Scripture (see 1 John 5:13). Visitors should encourage the convert to attend church meetings, and help the convert to get there.
