4. Ongoing Ministry & follow-up – Crucial to the success of this initiative is that it is not viewed or planned as a “one and done” event. You will need to consider before the event takes place, how to continue to build upon what has begun. Your church needs to have an effective plan for disicpling new believers. The initial follow-up needs to include developing an Assimilation Team who quickly make contact with those who made decisions and with the unchurched who attended the event. An- other possibility to consider is beginning a short term or ongoing ministry or possibly starting an affinity based small group that could lead to an affinity based church. Rolling this out to our CrossNet Baptist Churches & Pastors 1. Shared this with the MDT team on September 19 th to get their response and input 2.
