People visit our churches every week, but if they don't tell us they are there, we cannot connect with them. Our people come to church every week, but if we don't know their needs, we can't help them. Connection Cards can do all this and so much more. This 8 1/2 x 11 in., 90 plus-page book will give you detailed ideas, advice, samples, and a ministry plan to make connections, grow your church, and serve your people using this seemingly small, but very powerful ministry tool. The book gives detailed instructions on not only how to make sure you get the largest number of people to fill out the cards, but specific ways to manage your follow-up to most effectively serve the people who filled them out by detailing what you need to have in place for follow up and then how to triage (divide into levels of ministry need) the cards so you can respond to people in a timely manner.
