A. Seven Promises Of Christ
The Seven Promises of Christ: A Simple Home Gospel Tract Ministry for Families and Individuals
PROGRAM OVERVIEW
The Seven Promises of Christ is an intentional outreach ministry designed to share the gospel through systematic, personal connection with specific households in local communities. This approach combines the distribution of faith-based literature with relationship building and spiritual mentorship.
MINISTRY STRATEGY
🔵 Target Audience: Specific households within designated villages or neighborhoods that demonstrate openness to spiritual conversation and biblical truth.
🔵 Distribution Method: Each participating household receives seven selected gospel tracts about Christ’s promises, delivered personally over a period of time. These tracts focus on key promises found in Scripture that reveal God’s heart for humanity.
🔵 Relationship Building: During each tract delivery, the evangelist engages in meaningful conversation, builds trust, and prayerfully discerns the household’s spiritual readiness and interest in deeper biblical study.
🔵 Invitation Process: The evangelist carefully observes each household’s response and receptivity throughout the seven visits. When the Holy Spirit provides clear leading and the household demonstrates genuine interest, an invitation is extended for regular Bible study.
🔵 Home Bible Study: Households that accept the invitation begin participating in systematic Bible study sessions. These studies are led by the same evangelist who delivered the Promise Tracts, ensuring continuity of relationship and spiritual guidance.
🔵 Vesper Time Development: As the home Bible study matures and participants grow in faith and biblical understanding, the study naturally evolves into “Vesper Time” – a more structured study and worship service that combines biblical teaching with praise, prayer, and Christian fellowship.

C. Just Say No
A values formation handout for teenagers to guide choices and point them to Christ.
PROGRAM OVERVIEW
Just Say No is a values formation outreach program that equips teenagers to make wise, Christ-centered choices amid peer pressure and life’s challenges. Through the personal distribution of Say No tracts, trained ambassadors engage teens in meaningful conversations, offering encouragement, prayer, and guidance. Those who show interest are invited to weekly gatherings for fellowship and Bible study, helping them discover hope, purpose, and a growing relationship with Christ.
MINISTRY STRATEGY
🔵 Target Audience: Teenagers enrolled in public schools and teenagers living in surrounding villages who are often confronted with peer pressure, unhealthy choices, and a lack of hope and guidance.
🔵 Distribution Method: Commissioned ambassadors — two per outreach team — will first seek the blessing of the high school principal or the village chairperson. They will personally hand out Say No tracts to teenagers during approved times and locations. These tracts address real-life struggles teenagers face, encouraging them to say “No” to destructive paths.
🔵 Relationship Building: The ambassadors do more than hand out literature — they intentionally connect with the teenagers through brief, friendly conversations. They offer encouragement, share personal testimonies when appropriate, and assure the teens of ongoing support and prayer.
🔵 Invitation Process: During each interaction, the ambassadors gauge interest and spiritual openness. Teens who express a desire to learn more are invited to join a weekly gathering for fellowship, deeper conversation, and Bible study. These sessions are preferably held in accessible community spaces such as village halls, classrooms, or other safe venues.
