Operation Friendship Weekend


Jump-start your church’s evangelism engine by scheduling an Operation Friendship weekend!


1. Saturday night Friendship Dinner: Hosted off campus, the non-religious setting provides a welcoming atmosphere for believers to invite their non-Christian guests to enjoy food, music, friendship, and to hear the gospel presented with clarity and gentleness.


2. Sunday service: Another opportunity for members to invite their friends to hear a relevant message presenting a clear gospel.


3. Sunday training: An hour of training in personal evangelism for the entire church. Topics such as: "What’s So Scary about Evangelism?", "How to Talk to Relatives about Spiritual Things", or "How to Avoid the Five Most Common Mistakes in Evangelism."


Each event is presented by a trained and experienced evangelist.   All three events are included in every Operation Friendship; however schedules may be adapted to fit your church’s needs and culture.  Everything you need to make the weekend a success is included in the preparation packet you receive upon scheduling your Operation Friendship weekend.

"This has been the most effective outreach in the history of our church." - California Pastor

You Can Preach It!

Not just for preachers!

This one day seminar focuses on public speaking skills, how to effectively deliver a clear and compelling message, and how to craft an evangelistic sermon that appeals to unbelievers.

In this day-long seminar learn how to:
  • Prepare a message that appeals to lost people
  • Find and use good illustrations
  • Use humor appropriately
  • Put together a message from start to finish
  • Give an invitation
  • Explain the gospel clearly
  • And many other topics.
You Can Preach It! is an excellent seminar for those already in ministry or those hoping to become pastors, youth leaders, Sunday school teachers, Women's Ministry leaders, or participants in short-term mission trips.

It will be helpful to anyone who has the opportunity to speak to non-Christians and to everyone who speaks publicly.

Flying Strong Church Mentoring

For your church, is each statement TRUE or FALSE?   

  1. We don’t have a class for new believers.
  2. People don’t talk about sharing Christ with people they know.
  3. I am not absolutely sure that our members know how to share their faith.
  4. Our church mission statement does not mention introducing lost people to Jesus.

If you answered "True" to any of these statements, your church may have lost its evangelistic edge and may need Flying Strong! 

Flying Strong helps churches regain their evangelism fire and focus. By giving churches action steps to follow, each church begins the process of educating, equipping, and motivating the congregation for evangelism in its community.Flying Strong is both a process and a partnership.  

    A process that builds over time and eventually changes your church culture from one that focuses on the people in the church to one that is passionate about reaching those outside the church - those who do not yet know the Savior.

    A partnership because the two-day training is only the beginning. We don’t train you and leave you alone. We mentor you through monthly email, quarterly phone contact, a second year on-site visit, and continual access to a team who knows your church and your unique culture and can advise, encourage, and challenge you along the way.

"Our church is truly excited about evangelism...We’ve transitioned to a church that lives evangelism instead of practices it a couple times a year."
   -Barkef Osigian, Senior Pastor, Coppell Bible Church
