| What
are the objectives of International Campaigns? |
| |
To
win the lost all over the world within our time! These strategies
work towards that goal:
-
Introduce
Christian students to foreign mission work.
-
Motivate
some of these students to become foreign evangelists while they
are young enough to properly train for the field.
-
Participate
directly as an integral part of the planned evangelism program
of foreign congregations.
-
Encourage
foreign evangelists and families now on the field to remain.
-
Encourage
local congregations on the field to win the lost among their
own people.
Students
who are selected to go on International Campaigns do these things:
- Knock
on doors, distribute materials, enroll students in Bible Correspondence
courses, and invite people to the church services.
- Do
personal work -- evangelizing contacts, restoring unfaithful members,
and oing follow-up work.
- Call
on students enrolled in Bible correspondence courses.
- Sing
in parks, schools, old-folks homes, downtown plaza, and centers,
and at services.
- Help
with office work, and to renovate buildings, etc.
- Assist
and encourage missionaries.
- Rais
their own personal support.
- Carry
out assignments given by overseas evangelists.
- Conduct
children's Bible schools and teach classes.
Churches
overseas are part of the effort and do these things together with
the students:
- Issue
the invitation to come.
- Plan
their own campaign -- date, place of meetings, and work program.
- Provide
the preacher for the meetings.
- Pay
for advertising and all financing of the local campaign.
- Provide
lodging for student worksers (and part of the food expenses).
- Furnish
local campaign coordinator.
- Work
alongside student campaigners.
- Do
follow-up of contacts made.
