Your Answer: Resurrection Breakfast!
Resurrection Breakfast is an annual soul-winning event held in cities across America on the Saturday morning before Easter Sunday. This event is designed to challenge Christian men from all Evangelical denominations to form a citywide effort to invite other unsaved men to attend a breakfast and to hear a special speaker with a powerful testimony.
Easter is a season that presents a unique opportunity to reach men for Christ. Hearts are normally more tender and open at this time. If properly organized, the Resurrection Breakfast will involve your men in an unprecedented outreach to the community. Through this method you will reach men that heretofore would not respond to a church function.
Hundreds of breakfasts have been sponsored in cities across America, Canada, the Bahamas and in other countries. The speakers have included local civic, business, and sports figures; Christian judges, governors and other elected officials; Christian movie and TV personalities; coaches; or anyone else who might have the name recognition to draw a crowd and present a soul-winning testimony. The results have been fantastic—thousands of men have received Christ as their personal Savior.
“We have witnessed firsthand what God has done through Resurrection Breakfasts,” stated David Gosnell, coordinator of men’s discipleship ministries. “Church growth has occurred during the follow-up phase of these meetings. When men accept Christ at the breakfast, cards are filled out and distributed to area pastors who can then contact the new Christians to bring them into the church and disciple them.”
“We hope to see Resurrection Breakfasts held simultaneously in cities and communities around the world,” Gosnell continued. “ Two things you need to do : (1) download the Resurrection Planning Guide by visiting www.churchofgod.org and clicking on the Directories tab and clicking divisions and men’s discipleship; and (2) read through the guidelines. The planning and promotion of the Resurrection Breakfast is very simple. You will find clear action steps that will be beneficial as you plan your Resurrection Breakfast.”
