PET day: Sharing the gospel with your neighbours

Join us for our practical evangelism training day on door-to-door ministry, and making genuine connections with your neighbours on their doorstep.

Our church’s location is no accident. Our neighbourhood is our mission field – and we have the best news in the world to share!

But often we can go through church life never meeting any of the people that live around us. And they can go through life never hearing the gospel, or not even knowing we’re here.

But there is something incredible we can do.

We can knock on their door, and say hello.

For some of us, the thought of doing this can strike fear into our hearts. But it’s all about meeting people, getting to know them, their stories and seeking to build meaningful relationships.

And it’s about taking opportunities to share our faith, which so often naturally present themselves once we connect with people. The potential is amazing!

At our practical evangelism day, we’ll explore how you and your church can build a fruitful and exciting door-to-door ministry.

  • We’ll use role-play to help us know how to start a conversation with someone on their doorstep, and how to respond to different reactions.
  • We’ll explore how and when to bring in the gospel in conversations – and how listening skills can help us build genuine, loving connections with the person we’re visiting.
  • We’ll share how to plan a sustainable door-to-door ministry in your church – how to build a team, how to choose an area to focus to focus on, and how to develop connections with neighbours in the long term.

We’ll be joined by missionaries with years of experience in door-to-door ministry, who you can ask your questions to.

We hope you’ll leave feeling confident and excited to see how God will use you to share the gospel with your neighbour.

Who is it for?

All Christians interested in connecting with local people, especially from marginalised communities. It’s also a great opportunity for churches who are thinking about building a door-to-door ministry, and seeking guidance on where and how to start.

Kevin Croft

LCM Field Director in South London

"My area of particular focus as a field director is Council Estates and Seniors. I am really excited, from conversations with church leaders across London, that there is a genuine desire to reach out to those living on estates, including those isolated because of their age. One of the biggest barriers is that many churches just don’t know where to begin.

It is an honour to be able to help equip churches to reach out and disciple those living in their local communities that have so often been overlooked".

Simon Knightly

LCM Missionary in Croydon

Simon is a Team Leader in Croydon, reaching out with the love of Christ to people on council estates, and seniors in particular. His role involves building relationships with churches, envisioning, training, and equipping them to reach out to the least-reached people in their communities.

Simon is married to Annie, and has two young daughters, Evangeline and Noelle.  He’s a rapper, song writer and spoken word artist. And he loves anything with chicken, especially Nando's!

Shane Goodyear

LCM Missionary in Lambeth

Working in the borough of Lambeth, Shane has spent years bridging the gap between the church and the community via outreach programmes, mentoring and more.

“I seek to witness about Christ to people from all backgrounds who come from and live on council estates. I want to train Christians to share their faith with people who were brought up in, or are currently living in this context.

And I want to disciple people from estates with the knowledge and love of Christ both broadly and deeply, equipping Christians to do likewise.”
