““The Jesus Touch”The Jesus Touch”

“Not properly following through, losing, or just forgetting someone that has visited your church can be a devastating experience to a person or family searching for a new way of life through Christ and the church. How your church completes the follow-up process will portray an image that will not be forgotten. It might just be the last opportunity to make a difference in someone’s or some family’s eternal life decision”.
