titleNotes
  • Be prepared to share about your ministry at any time in person, but use that conversation to set a specific appointment.
  • If possible, set up a specific time and place when meeting with a friend. Although you will probably be more casual, you do not want to be nonchalant.
  • Let them know of your enthusiasm for your new assignment. If you're making a phone call, don't forget to smile while you talk! It really makes a difference!
  • This example still uses a loose filter.

You can use the following script for both a phone call or a text message. If calling someone, we recommend having this script in front of you the first few times to help you remember what to say. And please feel free to tweak these scripts a bit to make them sound more like YOU!

This example gives a variety of common objections.  Note how the caller is patient, polite, and yet persistent.  He returns to asking about a specific day.

John, I started a new career recently. I’m going to be involved with a church plant in Los Angeles through a missions organization called Reliant Mission. Right now, I am getting together with friends like you and letting people know more of about what I’ll be doing with Kairos Church. Would you have some time this week to get together?

 I completely understand that, though, like I said, I'd love just to connect and share with you some of what God has been doing. And there are many other ways you might be able to help that don't involve finances as well.

Most of the time, I spend about an hour with people, but we can do it in a half an hour or less if need be.

I'll plug that in to into the GPS, and I can let you know if I have any issues.. Tell you what, I’m writing Wednesday the 5th at 2:00 p.m. in my calendar. Let me give you my number in case something were to come up, and you would need to reschedule our time. It’s 123-222–2222. Also, if you don’t mind, I’ll give you a quick call or text on Tuesday morning to confirm our time together. Would that be okay?
