On 3/4/24, GMO Launched our 2024 Easter Campaign.
The emphasis is the resurrection of Christ, and why everyone should believe. Easter gives us a great opportunity to declare this message, but this year's campaign has a twist.
Some of your Contacts may be the result of "Explorer Visits."
What does that mean? An "Explorer Visit" is like our traditional "Gospel Visit" except we're trying to reach people earlier in their spiritual journey. So the campaign was designed for people curious about the core teaching of Christianity, the claims of Jesus, what it means to be a Christian. They've seen content that asserts the truth about Jesus, but they haven't yet been given the full gospel. That's where you come in!
Please ask good questions, but don't be pushy—remember, "you can lead a horse to water, but you can't make him drink." (But you can "salt the oats!") We've prepared a few points to accompany the campaign. You might get questions from Contacts that you've answered a hundred times. But the attitude of the Contact might not be what you expect. Or you may get questions you've never seen before. We'd like to encourage you to answer truthfully, but not to expect them to accept your authority to tell them something they believe is incorrect. You're persuading them, not just giving facts. Ask questions wherever you can, like, "What do you mean by that?" "Where did you get that idea?" "Do you think that's true? Why?" "How does that work?"
If someone doesn't believe in God in general or the facts of the resurrection in particular, sharing biblical proof is unlikely to be persuasive to them. Your testimony might be more interesting. They often want to know how you know Jesus really rose from the dead, how that works in your life. Here's an attached document that might be helpful:
