Mar 22, 2005 - People ask us. May we explain? Then, (1) you may want for us to come and help your church grow or (2) you may want to join our band of soldiers, learn our process, and travel with us in our growing and training churches and having fun discovering America.

More than a hundred called the “We Care Cadre” travel to Churches of Christ around the USA, sometimes into Canada and Mexico, to help churches grow through seminar training and campaign evangelism. Some of these are “fulltimers.” They nearly live beside Peggy and me on the road. Serving in the leadership are other full-time evangelists, including a Hispanic for Spanish churches. Additionally, we have more than 500 on our mailing list of Christians who once or twice a year, maybe more, take their vacations to go with us.

Our work serves small churches, medium and large, any size inviting us to help. We have helped to grow small churches that consisted originally of nine members, helping them to increase to above 40, and we have worked with large 1000 and 1200  ember congregations, baptizing in the dozens. The Lord has blessed us to concert together even as many as 12 congregations in a single evangelism effort. We have worked with white, with black and with Hispanic congregations in both three-day training seminars and 12- day full-blown campaigns, involving the grass-root memberships.

In the last nearly six years we have seen 3,000 obey the Gospel, that just in our Campaigns. More have obeyed and are obeying resulting from our soul-winning materials. Our evangelism approach What is We Care Ministries? confronts lost people. We address directly the fact we humans are lost in sin, next we present to them the Gospel that saves, fi nally we show them the church of the Bible. Yet how we approach them produces more Christian courage among disciples because it is friendly, caring and non-threatening. Confronting yet kind. It works beautifully. We are told some efforts in our brotherhood requires the worker to talk to 20 and more people before he is able to get in with t   Gospel; yet, our national averages show, if we talk to only seven we will get a Bible study; then, if we do that four times, we will baptize someone into Christ. As a result, we are seeing somewhere between 450 to 500 come into the body of Christ every year. If we do not actually get into a study, the approach enables us to leave a friend for future call back.

Our going to the Christians’ own neighborhoods to train them there accomplishes several goals. With our going to them we see four major successes. (1) We pull Christians into the work centralized campuses would never get. Too many older Christians are so settled in their jobs and families they would never leave home. Unmotivated, they, thus, believe they could never get the training for soul winning. (2) Often the home church lacks confi dence and direction and needs nothing short than to be converted! To their mission! When we go to them to invade their own area in this theater of war for souls, and when we do it with them at our sides, attitudes cha  e! (3) When we convert them with this hands-on training they see their own neighbors, ones they thought could never be reached, truly can be brought to Christ. And as a result, (4) all this brings to them home-church revival; the past’s conquering mentality of “can’t do’s” and “smallness” is overpowered. The best church revival in existence is evangelism!

We pick up new soul winners along the way. We do it through this paper, through training and stimulating local Christians in the sponsoring campaign churches or week-end training seminars. “Full time” Cadre workers are also joining us as we grow.

Why not join this ministry? The approach succeeds! It is trainable. It grows churches! It encourages brethren! Truly for Heaven’s sake, if something works, wouldn’t it be wise to fi nd out why! Invite us to help your church grow! Support us monthly or with a yearly donation. And always please pray for this work. We are most grateful!
