• 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

 Hey, Scott, this is Joe. How have you been?
 Great. What have you been up to?
Actually, a lot. I don’t know if I told you, but I’ve recently gone into full-time ministry in <location> with <ministry>. I am really excited to be reaching out to <students, the neighborhood, etc> through our <Church, church plant, ministry>. If it’s possible, we could get together sometime this week or next, and I could tell you more about it and you could tell me what you’ve been doing lately. Is that okay?
That would be great; when were you thinking?
 My best times are mornings and afternoons, or even lunch. Would sometime in there work well for you?
Are you available for breakfast?
How about Friday breakfast, would say 7am work for you?
 That’ll work. We could meet at the Bob Evan’s north of 270.
 Great, I’m writing it down. Give me a call if something changes. I’ll call you Thursday evening to make sure we’re still on.
 Sounds great.
