EI4G will stay in touch with new Christians (whether through EI4G’s efforts or not) with employed and volunteer Mentors, monthly Eternal Events, live forums on the website and more:
Give them a new Bible and a book
Benefit: The most important responsibility that falls upon EI4G when helping someone in their walk with Jesus Christ is that of providing them with an understandable, factual Bible; EI4G’s Bible of choice is the English Standard Version (ESV).
Access to Mentors
Benefit: This is a vital part of EI4G’s focus on maintaining relationships. Providing a mentor helps them with the seemingly infinite amount of questions that are inevitable with a new Christian. A Mentor also provides someone that will guide the new Christian along in their daily walk with Jesus Christ.
Plugging them into a church small group
Benefit: It increases their chances of remaining active as a Christian and provides a small, close group of friends in which they help each other learn more about and walk closer with Jesus Christ.
Invite to monthly Eternal Events
Benefit: It gives them an opportunity to relax and have fun in a setting of Christian fellowship. They can invite their friends to the event as well.
Provide access to website resources via EI4G.org
Benefit: Provides the new Christian with information about topics that they may be wondering about. It also provides an interactive discussion forum in which the new Christian can discuss topics with various industry experts.
Produce a monthly newsletter specifically for new Christians
Benefit: Keep them up to date on the activities of EI4G. Provide them with information about upcoming events so they can become more entrenched in the faith. Provide an emphasis on common questions about Christianity and use it as an educational tool. Provide information on defending the faith to prepare them for the probable negativism from non-Christians.
Recommend Christian workshops
Benefit: Workshops will further the new Christians’ knowledge of Jesus Christ and the Bible. It will also serve as another medium of meeting fellow Christians.
Plug into daily Bible verse via e-mail
Benefit: It provides an easy way for the new Christian to think about Jesus Christ each day and to help them open their Bible regularly.
What awaits in Heaven
Benefit: An explanation of what the Bible says about Heaven so that the new Christian will always have hope.
Monitor their walk with regular questionnaires
Benefit: It helps the new Christian to think about specific concerns and unanswered questions they may have. It also provides feedback to EI4G and its Mentors that will be used to help new Christians now and in the future.
Explain their responsibility as Christians relative to evangelism
Benefit: Provides education to them that evangelism is one of the objectives God set out for His people to perform regularly. This can help them realize that God has commanded us to evangelize. It will also reassure them that their role in God’s plan is pivotal.
Explain how to share faith with non-Christians
Benefit: Provide valuable tips and training materials to make them more comfortable and confident in terms of sharing the Word of God. If they are more comfortable and confident then it stands to reason that they will actively evangelize more efficiently.
Personal phone call or letter from the Chairman & CEO of EI4G congratulating them
Benefit: It is simply one more expression of how much EI4G loves them and is here to support them.
