Easy Way To Share Your Faith

Let's be honest, video is where it's at! Videos catch and grab people attention.
Follow Up And Discipleship
Sharing Jesus doesn't have to be a one and done, we follow up and provide a way to disciple.
What Can Encounters of Hope Do For Your Ministry?
Does your congregation think that evangelism is something only for those with the gift of evangelism, or do they understand biblically that it is for all Christians? As a church or ministry, your role is to create disciples and empower people to share their faith. We have created an easy way to do this that is relevant and applicable within our modern day culture.
Our mission is to provide you with a simple & effective way to share your faith!
Our evangelism tool leverages the one thing this world values the most, “MONEY.” Everybody “likes,” “needs,” or maybe “loves” money so we have used it as a means to connect with the lost and point them a little closer to Christ.
Show others unusual kindness and love by being generous and selflessly giving an Encounters of Hope gift card to spread the Gospel. Grab the attention of those around you! Let your light for Christ shine & help us make Jesus known!
There is no cost too high to share the greatest news the world will ever hear!
6 WAYS
YOU CAN USE ENCOUNTERS OF HOPE GIFT CARDS
The Great Commission calls us to spread the Gospel to all the world, but a lot of times, for one reason or another, fear holds us back. We have made it so easy, now you don’t have an excuse! There doesn’t have to be an awkward conversation and you don’t need a seminary degree. You can have as much or as little interaction as you wish. All you have to do is buy a gift card and give it to someone. We and MOST importantly God, will do the rest!
Having a hard time thinking of the WHERE and HOW?
No Worries, take a look at some of our ideas!
CAR WASH
Wash cars for free- accept no payment and tell people what church you are from and why you are serving them. When members of the church feel led, they can give an Encounters of Hope gift card to someone’s car they are washing.
HOLIDAY GIFT BASKET
Deliver food baskets to families during holidays and include an Encounters of Hope Gift card, meet a need with the extra cash, but also share the hope you have found in Jesus.
FAST FOOD
Give an Encounters of Hope Gift Card to the car behind you in the fast food line. The cashiers are usually super pumped to help out. Another idea is to give a gift card to the cashier working the window. Or both!
WAITRESS
Debunk the stereotype that Christians are the worst tippers! Go out to eat on a Sunday, during the after church rush and bless your waitress with an Encounters of Hope gift card! This is one of our favorites and has become the norm anytime we go out to eat.
SMALL GROUPS
Small groups do an evangelism study and challenge each individual to share their faith using an Encounters of Hope gift card when finished. Go in groups or as individuals. Give them to strangers or people in their sphere of influence, offering prayer or conversation as the Holy Spirit guides. Make sure to have a debrief meeting to share all the amazing encounters!
KNOCK ON DOORS
If you have a door-to-door outreach ministry, but haven’t been able to get out the message of Christ to those you are trying to reach. Simply knock on the door with an Encounters of Hope gift card ready, hand them the FREE money, when they activate the card, the Gospel message is shared. Your next job is to revisit the home to follow-up!
MAKE JESUS KNOWN
by using the Encounters of Hope evangelism tool to share Christ
TESTIMONIALS
I was walking through Lowes with my son to get a few things for our very first Daddy/Son Father’s Day (2015) camp-out in the backyard. Out of nowhere, this couple hands me a gift card and says they are doing random acts of kindness. I was taken back then and still am. As we walked away from the couple, yes, I did shed a tear in Lowes (a major no-no for a male) and yes, I am shedding a tear as I type this. It’s not the money, the amount of money, or even that they randomly selected me….it’s the lesson that I get to talk to and teach my 5 year old son. He is the one that was asking, “what was that?”, “Why did they do that?”, “Why are you crying daddy?”
Thank you to this organization for the opportunity for me to refocus and recommit not only my faith in Christ, but as a reminder of the example of who I am to my son, just as Christ is the example of the person whom He wants me to be.
BRAD
I was enjoying a walk with my twin daughters laughing taking in every moment.I get very few days to spend with them. I work two full-time jobs to make ends meet and take care of them and their 10 month brother. But still make time to be the best daddy I can be. Hiding the worry and stress that I deal with everyday. Always with a smile, joke,hug and an encouraging word.
Then a lady and a gentleman stopped me and gave me a $100 gift card! All they asked for was to pray for me. I have been in a very dark place for a long time and who would of thought that one simple and selfless act could help renew my faith! GOD is good.
MIGUEL
I was pumping gas on the phone talking to my landlord about me not having all my rent and how I will try not to be late anymore, when this lady comes up and says Merry Christmas and walked away. I thought it was just the rest of her gas card so I said “thank you, you too”. The next day after going to the website and seeing what it was and where it came from. I was touched. That day my co-worker asked if I could buy him lunch. I thought to myself someone blessed me so I can bless someone else. I let him know how I came into this money and he was truly grateful.
JONETTA
Thank you so much for what you and Encounters of Hope are up on the streets for God’s Kingdom! It is such an effective way to spread the most important thing – love. I was so blessed by the gift card, and was so encouraged how God allowed me to encounter an older woman the very same day who mentioned to me in conversation about how she was having a rough time financially.
Keilah
I received a gift card randomly at a Chickfila drive thru just before Christmas. It truly made my day and made my soul shine! I did log in the card and make a few purchases as Christmas gifts, but gave the card to someone less fortunate with the remaining balance. Thanks for all you do and GOD BLESS!
