ADVOCACY TEAM RESOURCE: 10 Ways to Easily Bless Goers, Part 1
An Advocacy Team is group of individuals (typically 6-12) who take the responsibility to coordinate our church’s support and encouragement of our Goers (single, couple, or family) and to serve as their representatives to the Austin Stone church body. The team is our primary link between the Goer and the rest of our church. Because of the strong personal relationships, the Goer can be open and honest, allowing his or her team to see needs and share successes and defeats.
In this series, we share 10 ways that your Advocacy Team can bless Goers to the nations. These are VERY EASY action items that go a long way in blessing your Goer!
1. SEND AN EMAIL: When you are living away from home, even the smallest communication from home is a blessing. Every time you think of a 100 PeopleGoer, just say a small prayer for them and send them a quick email to let them know that you are thinking of them. It doesn’t need to be long at all. Even just a simple, “Hey, I was thinking about you today and wanted you to know you are loved and appreciated” will bless them more than you know. You could also just email a verse that has encouraged you lately or that you think would encourage them. Whatever you say, no matter the length, these emails don’t take long and go a long way to letting the 100 PeopleGoer know that they are not forgotten.
