Lost and Found

While this saying is true, "It's tough to be found if you don't know you're lost," it puts the responsibility of being found on the one that is lost. These corollaries are also true.

It is tough to be found if you don't want to be found.
It is tough to be found if no one is looking.
It is tough to be found if the finders don't know how to find.

"...this brother of yours ... was lost and is found." Luke 15:32

Friends with coffee, conversational evangelism cards

Solomon's Quest has created a Conversational Evangelism tool to simplify and empower conversational evangelism that can be used as relationships grow and in those experiences that are more akin to the woman at the well (John 4) or the Philip's meeting with the Ethiopian (Acts 8).

Advantages of these cards:

They create an environment for parallel posture when sharing the Gospel. Both parties can look at the cards, rather than each other, while the conversation unfolds.
They eliminate the need to memorize scripture
They allow the one not yet found to self-diagnose their spiritual need - conversationally
They teach and reinforce the process of communicating the Gospel each time they are used.
They can be customized for your church's need and/or event.

The Quest cards are not tracts. They are not intended to be read to the one not yet found. They are used as touch points to help the individual self-diagnose their need and their progress in the path to salvation.

Best of all, once a believer understands the conversation concept and the value of parallel touch points, they won't need these cards. Sugar packets, silverware, napkins , coins - any items that are readily available at the coffee shop can serve the same purpose.

The goal is not to get through all of the information on the cards. The goal is to help the one not found to examine and self-identify their need, opening wide the door to share the Gospel.
