As discussed above, the church could have either never met this first-time guest before they arrived or the person could have been connected to the church through an out-reach event. Attraction churches tend to use the church service as an opportunity to present the gospel. However, missional churches usually share what Jesus did for the world during different events in the community. Since the church with the above mission statement is more missional, the topic will be handled from that perspective. However, the church must be careful when doing evangelism.

The church could go to a local member’s house and hold a cookout. In this scenario, the gospel would not be shared in a formal manner. However, if someone in the neighborhood got talking (too conversational) to a member of the church the gospel may be presented in that. The cookout would be used more to build relationships with the people around the community and draw them to church where they could hear the gospel. The church could also do a sports camp for the kids and teenagers in the community. This event would be easier to have a formal presentation of the gospel.
