Jim Corner Afternoon Session

Teacher

Lesson Summary

During the afternoon session, the teacher introduced a suite of outreach strategies centered on the World Bible School platform. He explained how to set up a unique URL for the congregation, place advertisements in local media, and create tangible items such as yard signs, t‑shirts, business cards, and posters that direct people to the online Bible study site. By sharing examples from other churches—like the "God Answers" sign, a county‑fair booth, and a Mark 16 domain—he illustrated the impact of targeted, low‑cost evangelism tools. He also encouraged participants to experiment with placing the World Bible School link on their website’s homepage and in welcome packets, and to track the effectiveness of each method for future sharing. The session emphasized practical, community‑focused approaches for reaching neighbors who may be uncomfortable with traditional one‑on‑one Bible conversations. The teacher highlighted the value of simple, repeatable actions such as handing out cards after a meal or displaying posters in public spaces. He concluded by urging the group to report any successful tactics to the broader World Bible School network, fostering a collaborative effort to grow the church’s outreach in Meridian.
