Helping Churches Reach Veterans With The Gospel
This link will provide you and your leader with a step by step process on how to start a successful Discipled Veteran ministry at your church. It details instruction from planning, implementation, infiltrating the veteran community, and ministry management. Although the information is extensive we encourage you to contact us with any assistance you may need. 304-228-3531 or stephendmassie@gmail.com
This link provides the veteran population of every county in the United States. The Veterans Administration compiles many different veteran related statistics in every geographical area. We can usually help you source the information for your area from the VA’s reports. Information like this can be very useful when building your team, if you know things like the age, era, female population, and branch of service of the veterans populating your area.
This link provides you with a ready made invitation card. These invitation cards are not usually appealing to graphic design people but they work very well with veterans. We recommend you have them printed small enough that they are always easy to carry. It’s a great way to get the entire church involved in the ministry. When a veteran meets a veteran the last thing they do before departing the conversation is give them a card. When a non-veteran church member thanks a veteran for their service, hand them a card and invite them. Simply plug in your church information and meeting times before printing.
This link provides you with a veteran referral card. Everyone knows an unchurched veteran, and this is another very good way of getting the entire church involved in the ministry. In the weeks leading up to your ministry launch, place these cards in your Sunday morning bulletin and encourage the church to refer an unchurched veteran that they know. This gives you a list of new veterans to visit and invite to the meetings. Continue to make these cards available somewhere for future referrals. They may be given anonymously.
This link provides you with a template roster used for tracking, distributing information, and maintaining contact with the members of your group. It allows you to include specific details that will assist you in ministering to each member. The numerical and color code function allows you to categorize and prioritize the needs of each member. As your group grows this tool will prove extremely important. Hover over the column headings to see the use description of each column.
This link provides you with a sample battle plan. Utilizing experience gained while working with churches in many different parts of the US. Discipled Veteran can evaluate and prepare a battle plan for your area. The plan will indicate the available community veteran organizational targets in your area, the person to contact, and the best ways to approach them based on how we have completed this task with the same or similar organizations in the past. Contact us for more information.
Create a Facebook page specifically for your group. Name it “Discipled Veteran (church name or town)“. A social media presence can be a wonderful tool to display photos of what your group has been doing, which will help you attract new veterans. It is also a great noncommittal way for veterans to investigate the group before coming to a meeting. After you meet a new veteran find them on Facebook and send them an invite to your groups page. This link will take you to an active groups page that you can use as an example.
