2 Welcome to HomeMission s 2 nd Annual Revive Us Again Evangelism and Church Growth Workshop. May I also be the first to welcome you to Faith Village! This week hundreds will gather from all over the United States to equip, edify, worship, fellowship, discuss, and dream about the future of the Lord s church. HomeMission s purpose and passion is biblically based and desperately needed in the brotherhood. Recent studies have shown that 70 congregations are closing their doors every year in America. While this statistic is alarming and disheartening, we don t lose hope, for we know our Savior and the power of His church. This week allows us to converse and plan to help reverse this trend. Once again, every class offered will focus on evangelism and different outreach efforts of the church, but our workshop theme this year will be built around the wonderful hymn, In Christ Alone. Six excellent keynote presenters will remind us why only in Christ our hope is found. This year, we have six different class options in the morning and afternoon with tremendous teachers, as well as interesting panel discussions each afternoon at 3:15 PM. We have a Youth Day planned on Saturday for different youth groups in the area. Don t miss our FREE BBQ dinner on Friday evening at 5:30 PM, provided by our famous, Holy Smokers of Faith Village. It promises to be a fabulous week. Planning for this week literally began as soon as last year s conference ended. I am indebted to dozens of people. Many Faith Village members have taken vacation time away from their jobs and time away from their families to serve. I continue to thank God for John Orr, director of HomeMission, who turned this dream into a reality three years ago. Loretta Orr works tirelessly with me behind the scenes to help plan this workshop and administer excellent communication throughout the year. Steve Miller, Faith Village s Children s and Family Minister, can t be thanked enough for keeping technology and other details running smoothly. Karen Jones and Bud Branson work every day to keep HomeMission on track here at home, and how can we ever forget Susie Orr who supports John and travels everywhere they go. I can t list every name who makes this week possible, but may we always remember the only ONE who makes everything possible--our Father God. He has been so good to HomeMission and Faith Village. To Him be every ounce of glory.
3 Again, welcome to HomeMission s 2 nd Annual Revive Us Again Church Growth and Evangelism Workshop and welcome to Faith Village! Your presence blesses us more than you know. May God refresh your spirit and renew your passion to work for the Kingdom all of your days. Jacob Hawk Director of Revive Us Again Preaching Minister of Faith Village church of Christ Welcome! Thank you for attending our 2nd year of the Revive Us Again Evangelism and Church Growth Workshop! You don t know how much this means to us at HomeMission! HomeMission is an association of evangelists that work with churches around the country. Currently, we have 7 evangelists that have worked with over 160 churches in 29 states. Our great God has done amazing things through our efforts since December 2015: 13 churches in danger of closing have turned around and are growing again. Preachers have been found for 11 churches Five church plants have been launched. Preachers are being trained to evangelize. 10 larger churches are helping smaller churches. We want to encourage and equip brethren from all over the United States. Currently, 70 churches of Christ per year are closing their doors in America. The need is overwhelming. But our Master, Jesus Christ, can turn this around. We hope all of us can work together to not only save churches from closing, but find ways to evangelize this country like never before. Thank you for being here and may the Lord enrich your experience. John Orr Director of HomeMission

REVIVE US AGAIN HOMEMISSION EVANGELISM AND CHURCH GROWTH WORKSHOP In Christ Alone Wednesday, March 27 7:00 PM Regular children s Bible classes; all adult classes in auditorium Keynote Speaker Gary Smith In Christ Alone.My Hope is Found
5 Thursday, March 28 9:00-9:45 AM Class Session #1 How to Set Up a Bible Study Danny Aragon FC1 We have conversations with people every day. In this class, we will discover ways to turn discussions about physical things into spiritual conversations and turn those conversations into Bible studies that lead to conversions. Reviving Manhood through the Cross Trey Morgan FC 2 Manhood, and what a real man looks like, is a hot topic today. To get an idea of what is truly expected from a man, we must look no further than God's Word. In Trey's class, we will take a Biblical look at true manhood and what God expects of a man, husband and father. Evangelizing Your Community Jake Perkins FC 3 God has not stopped calling people back to Him. The Gospel is still good news. Come hear some exciting stories of how your congregation can reach families of all ages. When a Message in a Bottle No Longer Works: Communicating with Today s Technology Joey Roberts 210 With the ever-changing ways of communication, the grasp of using technology in church communications is a must! We need to make sure we are communicating within the congregation and outside the walls as well. We have to use technology in our favor in today s society.
6 Evangelism is the Answer Ferman Carpenter 211 Our "Evangelism is the Answer" class will be centered on the most widelyagreed-upon but least-practiced need in the Lord's church...making and growing Christians. Many congregations have turned the Great Commission into the Great Omission. The Power of a Godly Woman in a Godless World Janae Fridelle In today s culture, Christian women are faced with a barrage of challenges as the world sets up impossible expectations of beauty and success while offering very little in terms of support. Women who profess godliness have a unique message and a dynamic opportunity to help women in crisis, offering answers to issues like depression, self-doubt, and family problems that so many women are seeking help with. This class will explore themes in Scripture that offer godly women a path to impacting a godless world with a godly message of true empowerment through Christian living. 9:45-10:00 AM Break 10:00-10:45 AM Class Session #2 Evangelism Without Conflict Robert Oglesby FC 1 This class will be designed to demonstrate by role play how a GENTLE SOUL-WINNER can ask for a study, teach it, and close the Bible study. Healing Broken Families through the Power of the Gospel Billy McGuiggan FC 2 Wouldn t it be nice if we could heal our broken family relationships by giving the right Hallmark card or the right bouquet of flowers? In my experience, it doesn t work that way. Healing broken relationships takes time and patience and love. The good news is, we can heal our broken families through the
7 power of love and power of the Gospel. Don t believe me? Then believe God and believe the Good News found in our Gospel story. True Religion: Reaching the Widow, Orphan, and Forgotten Among Us Tom Bedichek FC 3 A class focusing on the relationship between social action and evangelism. How should we reach out to the poor, refugees, illegal aliens, and social outcasts? Mission VBS: A 2-for 1 Jonathan Zerby 210 Do you have a passion to teach young people to teach, serve, and love? Do you have a passion for helping the church to grow? If so, then a Mission VBS is for you! More than Worship (The Christian Assembly and Church Growth) Levi Sisemore 211 In this session, we ll identify the biblically explicit purposes for the Christian assembly, learn about conducting ourselves in the the most excellent way as we survey I Corinthians 10-14, give some very practical action points that can bring a measure of vitality to your congregation, and share resources for improving congregational, a cappella singing. Don t be Scared - The Gospel is for All!! Kathy Hardy 217 The purpose of this presentation is to encourage sisters to be courageous in sharing Christ with others (2 Timothy 1:7). We want to develop an evangelistic mindset so that as we go about our daily activities, we lift up the name of Christ and behave in ways that lead others to Him. Let s be bold and mindful as we look for opportunities to share the Gospel! 10:45-11:00 AM Break

Pick up tickets at Workshop Central or the Herald of Truth booth. 2:00-2:45 PM Class Session #3 Classroom Evangelism : How to Grow the Church Through Study Michael Orr FC 1 How to grow the church through study Our emphasis on Sunday morning worship as the catch-all to reach people is not working. People might attend worship on Sunday because they like the preaching or even the church, but to get people involved and train them to serve the Lord you need good classes. How we do classes can have a dramatic impact on our evangelism and our overall spiritual health as a family in Christ. This session will discuss ways to implement more evangelistic classes and use our time in class to train leaders and members for evangelism. How Millenials Bless the Church Boo Scott FC 2 Millenials have received a bad reputation over the past several years. They are considered lazy, "snowflaky", socialistic, know-it-all, and as having no respect for the elderly. They are typically characterized by long beards, skinny jeans, and tree tattoos. They don't have jobs and hang out at coffee shops all
9 day. While some of this reputation may be true, Millennials I've worked with for the past 9 years have been anything but lazy and "snowflaky." Millennials continue to bless the church in a huge way. In this class, I want to discuss the strengths and potentials of the Millennial generation in the Kingdom. It should be fun. World Bible School : 6 Tools to Help Your Congregation Grow Bill Colwell FC 3 Local outreach with WBS? Absolutely! In this class, we ll demonstrate our NEW TOOLS and show how WBS can help you reach local seekers. Reversing the 80/20 Curse Chris Swinford 210 It has become understood that a few people do the vast majority of work in a local congregation and in various church ministries. It's time for leaders to inspire and motivate every member to be a minister to others, a missionary to the lost, and a mentor to new Christians. When the whole congregation is working together, good things are bound to happen! How to Close a Bible Study Bill Hardy / Jim Smith 211 All of us have experienced it. You spend hours in prayer, conversation, fellowship and study, but no response or I m just not ready. We will learn from Jesus how to take your prospect those final few steps to conversion and commitment. The Three Ways Women Encourage, Equip, Admonish and Edify Jennifer Lewis 217 The Bible gives us a lot of good advice about encouragement. However, there are a lot of women in the church that need more encouragement than what they re getting, and in the fast paced world we live in encouragement can be in short supply. This class will equip Godly women to encourage other women in some of the most challenging situations and help build each other up in three practical and meaningful ways.
