follow-up
Q | Will there be a response card (or similar) so individuals who respond to the gospel message can be followed up?
​
We use a response card and QR code to track attendees who express interest in discipleship, or request further follow-up. We ensure no-one is missed in the follow-up process.
​
Q | How do we follow-up new believers after the Outreach Events?
​
If permission is granted on the response cards or digitally for follow-up, we will identify the most suitable church with which to connect the enquirer. Churches will inform our office when they have contacted all enquirers assigned to them.
PRAYER
​
We meet weekly from 7:30 – 8:30am in person or via zoom. Please email Sophie Lin at slin@ltw.org with your mobile number to join the WhatsApp Group for prayer updates. Plans are underway for gatherings at key vantage points for a large group prayer. Watch this space for details to come!
