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 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.

Discipled Veteran referral card

Everyone knows an unchurched veteran, and this is another very good way of getting the entire church involved in the ministry. 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.  Continue to make these cards available somewhere for future referrals.

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.
