Creative Ministries & Special Events
Purpose:
|
To get people's attention in a non-threatening way in order to tear down walls and meet either realized and/or unrealized needs.
|
Plan:
|
To place Christian volunteers in strategic locations where high foot traffic is expected, while doing creative ministries in order to gather a crowd and then fulfill the purpose.
|
Places:
|
Beaches, campgrounds, festival areas, fairs, malls, nursing homes, children's homes, world/national events (Olympics, Super Bowl, NASCAR, etc.), race tracks, ski resorts, and so on. Basically, if there are people that you know are going to be in a spot and you can gain permission to do some type of performance ministry . . . DO IT.

Specifics:

The following pages will include some hopefully helpful descriptions of basic creative arts ministry tools and strategies, along with some resource information for some of them.

There is no such thing as an exhausted list of creative ministry ideas. Anything that gathers attention that can be used for ministry would somehow fall under the title of creative ministry. From feeding bread to seagulls, to handing out hot chocolate, to flying kites, to skillfully working a yo-yo . . . it all can work. If you have other creative ministry tools and abilities, by all means, feel free to use them for His work.
