Ideas for modern door evangelism
Since many many doors are now equipped with these recording doorbells, you can go with your church group and utilize this tool, and others can work around it.
People usually go in 3's when door witnessing.
2 go to door. #3 stays at sidewalk, prays and is able to call 911 if theres a safety issue happening. It is good practice! Do bring a trainee as #2 and have #1 expert do the main talking. And if #1 knows #2 has an answer for something discussed, they can tag #2 in for a minute and #1 takes over again.
With door cameras, they record.
I believe they can reply back to you from the camera now via app. So...
1. Go with a couple people, and let one go to the camera, ring doorbell, if no one answers you are on recording... so just... give a short verbal gospel.
"Hi, I stopped by from xyz church and was hoping to ask you something. You don't seem home or maybe having an enjoyable day in the back yard 😊.
I will leave this flier here 😊. [Give a scripted gospel message]. If you have any questions, you can reach us on the flier. God bless"
2. Go with #1 above but of they come on and say not interested. You can say, its true people are not interested in the things of God, and it is because they lack knowledge about the issue, or have never get their questions answered. If you are looking for answers to certian questions, my contact info [it is a generic email so people online cannot stalk you] is on the flier. Have a great day. [Ignore them saying not to leave it, or yelling at you to leave].
3. If you run into a house that has no ring camera, and soneone in the group is pro-privacy, anti camera, then wave them over from the sidewalk, and stay there with #1, so both can engage if someones home.
4. If your church is having an kid/teen event, or a gospel or evangelistic event, go door to door and leave a flier. If the homeowner gets on the camera you could ask if they might be interested and if they would like a flier. If no, say ok, have a nice day. And wrap a tract or tract bag on the door knob with a rubber band, [see below door bag idea] before you leave ...[regardless of any further homeowner talking. Just ignore them, finish and go].
5. On Christmas, Easter or Halloween you could also go around and ring the bell, wish them happy "whatever" and drop a tract bag on door handle and go. Kinda like a goodie bag with a treat, tract and flier to the church.
*Maybe a survey mailer [postaged] that asks if they are elderly, disabled and need help with lawnmower or simple handyman items, [that a couple from church could come out to help with], any holiday meal needs, medication costs, food needs, insta cart delivery help, etc.
Make sure the church hands the outreach leader any mailed surveys so you can keep a database, and use to help community with church volunteers.
It also lets you know how many kids or teens are in the home [in case theres an offsite evangelistic day outing event the church does]. And if theyre religious or not, what church they go to and etc. It helps your ministering in the neighborhood.
Maybe bring tea sandwiches, sugar free cookies, and cold or hot decaf tea picnic basket, so you can eat and drink safely, but also bless them with a treat too. It shows you are there to help, not impose and so thry dont they feel put out to entertain.
Hope these ideas help.
