Every Pastor I know wants their church to double this Easter.

But how?

I’ve worked closely with 100′s of churches helping them grow their churches and reach their communities.

I’ve learned that there are 5 “doubling” factors that churches need to be serious about if they want to see significant increase on Easter or any other Sunday of the year.

Churches need to…

1. Mobilize their Congregation – They need to equip people to invite friends, family, co-workers and classmates to church.

2. Unleash their Creativity – They must start thinking differently and employing new methods to reach people far from God.

3. Extend their Reach – This means we need to put together strategies for reaching those who have no connection to our church at all.

4. Improve their Communication – If a Pastor will not commit to growing as a communicator and learning new ways of communicating the Gospel, the church will be stuck.

5. Increase their Faith – Churches must believe that God has only called them to reach their communities, but they God has also strategically placed them in their communities to reach people right now.

Each speaker at our Easter Ninja conference will be teaching on one of these doubling factors.

Easter Ninja is a totally free online conference that’s happening 1 week from today (February 9th @1PM EST).

It’s a great opportunity to train your leaders and give them a bigger vision for what God can do this Easter!

Since Star Wars in 3D is coming to a theater near you, I thought it would be a good day to talk about using Jedi Mind Tricks in your marketing.

You know…

“These aren’t the droids you’re looking for.”

I know Jedi Mind tricks aren’t real, but there are real ways to be persuasive in your outreach/ marketing that almost feels like you’re a Jedi Knight.

Here’s how…

1. Be Specific in what you’re asking

If you want people to attend your Easter services, then specifically ask them to join you at one of your services.

If you aren’t specific, you won’t persuade them to attend.

2. Mind tricks don’t work on everyone

There are some people in your community you won’t reach. You aren’t equipped to reach them. That’s why God has raised up lots of different churches in your community. So focus on those whom you can reach.

3. Communicate in a way that connects with them

Churches tend to communicate in ways that make sense to church people. Wise leaders communicate in a way that connects with unchurched people.

I recently helped a church in their direct mail efforts during their launch. Only using direct mail, they had 230 people at their first service!

My point: this stuff works!

In our February Outreach Ninja coaching session, we will be walking our members through a step by step system for getting killer direct mail results.

So if you’re planning on doing direct mail for Easter, now is the best time to join Outreach Ninja.

It’s only $49 for the 1st month (and $97 a month if you continue).

I remember the day I was done with direct mail. 

Our church had mailed out over 50,000 postcards and received dismal results. 

I said to myself, “I’ll never use direct mail again.” 

Ever. 

I got home and checked my mailbox, only to find a Banana Republic postcard promoting a sale they were having. 

I put it in my back pocket as I walked through the front door, because I didn’t want to miss out on the sale. 

Then it hit me… 

Direct mail does work! 

I just wasn’t doing it right. 

I was doing direct mail like more other churches. 

This led to a quest where I learned direct mail from those who were getting amazing results. 

My goal was to learn their secrets and apply them to our church’s direct mail efforts. 

The result: killer results! 

We started getting 300%-400% better results than we had got before. 

All because of what Banana Republic taught us… mail to those who are most likely to respond. 

That’s what we’re talking about this month in our Outreach Ninja coaching. 

We talking about a step by step plan for direct mail that will help church double this Easter. 

Here’s the best part: you can test drive outreach Ninja for only $49 for the next 30 days (that’s 50% off our normal monthly investment)! 

Plus, you receive over $695.71 in bonus resources when you join.
