<title>Anchor Groups</title>
<description><![CDATA[<p>An Anchor Group is a group of two or three people who meet weekly, for about one hour each week, to discuss their daily Bible reading/devotions, to pray for one another, and to pray for friends of group members who don't yet trust Jesus for salvation.</p>

<p>Everyone in the group should follow the same Bible reading schedule so they all come to the meeting having read and reflected on the same parts of the Bible that week. We have a reading plan and devotional journal available to download <a href="http://www.growingtogether.net/gofish/2005/04/new_believers_tools.html">here</a>.</p>

<p>Anchor Groups can also help the members of the group by providing an opportunity for accountability and encouragement in the face of the many temptations common to all Christians. More information about Anchor Groups (also called Life Transformation Groups), including a list of accountability questions used in many groups, can be found <a href="http://www.cmaresources.org/article/ltg">here</a> and <a href="http://www.cmaresources.org/files/Cultivating-NeilCole-chap8.pdf">here</a>.</p>]]></description>

<title>What do I do after someone gives their life to Christ?</title>
<description><![CDATA[<p>We are called to make <a href="http://www.theopedia.com/Disciple">disciples</a> (life-long followers of Jesus) and not just converts. New believers should be encouraged to grow in their faith by joining a church family, reading the Bible daily (our <a href="http://www.growingtogether.net/gofish/2005/04/new_believers_tools.html">reading plans and journals</a> can help with this), praying regularly, and sharing the Gospel with others. </p>

<p>The best and most natural thing to do after helping someone to faith in Christ is to maintain an ongoing relationship with them so you can encourage them, answer their questions, and help them foster habits that will allow them to mature as a Christian.</p>

<p><a href="http://www.growingtogether.net/gofish/2005/12/anchor_group_leaders.html">Anchor Groups</a> are a good way to facilitate this kind of one-to-one or small group discipleship. Barna Research studies indicate that most Christians stop growing after just two years. If a more mature Christian walks alongside of someone for that long, they would both be more likely to grow and continue growing.</p>

<title>What do I do if someone says, &quot;I&apos;m ready to give my life to Christ?&quot;</title>
<description><![CDATA[<p>If someone tells you that they are ready to give their life to Christ, help them verbalize their belief and trust in Jesus by leading them in a prayer like the following:</p>

<blockquote>Father God, I need you in my life.
I believe you sent your son, Jesus, to die for my sins and then raised him from the dead. 
I have sinned and I am truly sorry. Please forgive me.
I receive your gifts of forgiveness and eternal life.  
I surrender my life to you and give you full control.
Send your Holy Spirit to help me serve you from now on. 
Thank you for welcoming me into your family and giving me a new start. 
In the name of Jesus, amen.</blockquote>

<p>The exact words don't matter. What is important is that the words reflect a true desire to turn from sin, to follow Jesus as Lord, and to trust the crucified and risen Jesus alone for forgiveness and salvation.</p>

<title>Where do I start?</title>
<description><![CDATA[<p>You should start with the people God has placed around you - friends, family, neighbors, and co-workers. Also, pray that God will bring people into your life that are open to the Gospel.</p>

<p>In addition to sharing the good news with the people in your immediate circles of influence, you may consider joining others in our church to share your faith with people you don't know. </p>

<p>Keep an eye on our <a href="http://gracechapel.tv">church website</a> to see when we have scheduled evangelism events and outreach opportunites where we go outside the church to serve and share our faith with others in local parks, neighborhoods, etc.</p>

<title>How can I share my faith and explain the Gospel to someone?</title>
<description><![CDATA[<p>The key is to really know the Gospel yourself. Once you understand the Gospel it helps to have a basic outline in your head to keep you focused during conversations with others. A good summary and outline can be found <a href="http://www.dare2share.org/gospeljourney/">here</a>. An easily portable card with that outline of the Gospel can be downloaded <a href="http://media.dare2share.org/pdf/gospel_journey_4_up.pdf">here</a>.</p>

<p>There is also a training video available online <a href="http://www.growingtogether.net/gofish/2007/08/evangelism_training.html">here</a>.</p>
