Jason Rhode and I discuss the topic, “Hallo-What? Halloween Outreach Ideas.” Why conduct a Halloween outreach? I share these reasons…because children:
Come to your door
Are open to the supernatural
Ready for fun
Everybody is excited except believers
I shared these following things to remember when conducting Halloween outreaches:
- Pray for wisdom
- Begin at a level of mutual understanding
- Let the children come
- Effective evangelism is always relational
I also mentioned my Do Not ABC’s of Halloween…do not:
Attack Halloween
Bash Satanic costuming
Catch yourself along with a child
Depict God as a cruel judge
Engage in practical joking
Force a committment
I also mentioned my Halloween Booklet and his Trick or Treat Tract.
