Why do I need an Outreach Kit?
Over the many years that we've been helping churches and ministries put on this
outreach, we have talked with people coming from a wide variety of perspectives.
Either they were thrilled to find out what we had available or they had wanted to
put something like this together to reach their community but had no idea how. We've
also had directors or pastors on the back end of the testimony cycle that have let
us know how thankful they were that they could simply follow our plan and they didn't
have to reinvent the wheel.
Whatever the motivation that has led you to this point today, please understand
that:
- Acquiring a kit will save you many multiplied hours of writing, creating,
brainstorming and administration. Those skills can still come into play on
different levels, but you're beginning from a dynamic foundation rather than
from scratch.
- You can follow our directives of how everything should be done step by
step even down to printing out specific sections of the manual for coordinators
of particular areas. They then go and carry out what their section details
because it's all there in writing. They just adapt it to your outreach and what
it calls for at your location.
- We occasionally have inquiries from churches that would like to order just
the video of the production. We no longer resource out the video as a separate
component. The reason is that in our past experience, ministries or leaders who
did not purchase the entire kit were trying to cut corners by acquiring a help
that they could simply watch and attempt to recreate on their own. Most of those
people never saw Hell House become a reality because it is a daunting task to
try and build an outreach of this magnitude from the ground up. They would watch
the video and be so overwhelmed that it seemed like to high of a mountain to
climb. There are so many considerations to a large-scale theatrical production
like Hell House that the administrative and organizational needs can kill the
vision before it ever blossoms and starts reaching people. So, the individual
components of the kit come together and work best together. If you're trying
to get by with doing less or spending less by not investing a minimal amount
of money on the kit to really be able to do the outreach event right, you
might want to consider doing something else.
