Note: an "Explorer Visits" occurs when the Contact has seen an ad campaign meant to encourage seekers further from God to consider pre-evangelistic ideas more deeply. We have not yet challenged them to consider a thorough Gospel Presentation, which contains the essential elements:
- Explanation of God’s nature (holy, righteous, just, loving, all-powerful, peerless)
- Explanation of Jesus is? (as distinguished from the Father; God in Human flesh or God sent His only Son to become a man)
- Sin and Forgiveness (and/or alienation and reconciliation)
- Death & Resurrection
- How to begin a relationship with Jesus (redemption, atonement, grace, promise)
