Preaching
Keep this short and very Evangelistic Basic message on Sin and Salvation
Altar call should be very strong and compelling.
I always ask that anyone that wants a free Wal-Mart card to hurry to the front, then when every person is up there I ask who wants it and hand it to them, showing the affect of I want to give it, someone wants to receive it but to receive it they must do something which is extend their hand and grab it! Then I tell them Jesus has died for us but we must do our part to receive our salvation.
Then it is important to explain salvation and baptism.
Clean Up Crew
It is important to announce through out the service that you would appreciate any trash to be placed in trash cans. You will want to have as many cans as possible on hand. Make sure you have a complete crew to canvas the area and keep area extremely clean after event. Also this crew may assist in packing chairs, tables, sound equipment and instruments.
__________________________________________________ _______________
One very important thing you will need to do is have a meeting with all workers and saints before heading out to your event. In your meeting cover all areas, double check and make sure you have all items on your list.
Talk to everyone and let them know it is crucial that they do not talk to each other during this block party unless it is relative to issues of service. Let them know they MUST greet every person and make them feel very welcome to this party. NEVER leave sinners standing by their self….every person in your church should be talking to sinners!
Advertising for Event
You should make sure to pass out flyers for at least 3 days leading up to your block party in the surrounding areas. Also you will want to place door hangers on every door and apartment possible within a 2 mile radius.
On the day of the event we usually use a megaphone and drive around the area telling people about our free block party and letting them know what time it will start. This is recommended to be done from 1-2 hours before event.
You may also want to place an ad in the local news paper if possible.
Door hangers can be purchased at
www.outreach.com you will need as many as possible, you can determine how many apartments and houses are in the area and order accordingly.
You can also find a flyer we use on our web site at

Appointing Leaders of each portion of this event
You will want to appoint several leaders over each portion of this event, i.e.…cooks, music, registration, food, ministry, clean up etc…
Each leader should have a clear list of responsibilities and be held accountable throughout the entire planning session. It is very important that you express how important it is to never assume someone has something taken care of as a leader, make sure each person actually knows for fact that the issues are resolved.
Each leader should have several other people working with them to complete each task.
Have tag in sessions leading up to the event double checking every detail with each leader.
We have had huge success in reaching souls with doing block parties. We pray this information will bless you and you can reach as many souls as possible! Remember in all labor there is profit!
God Bless
