Are you ready to turn unbelieving, skeptical, first time visitors into believing regular attenders, fulfilling the purpose and plan of God for their lives? Throughout this book there is a weaving of the story thread from the Queen of Sheba’s visit to the kingdom of Solomon. It examines how his ministry teams were the difference in the way the Queen entered the kingdom, and the way she left the kingdom. Every community is filled with Queens of Sheba who are unbelieving and skeptical about what they have heard about the Kingdom. The church has touted, rightly so, that the Kingdom of God is the most desirable place to be, and how ones life can be changed dramatically by entering it here on earth. “Lee West has thoroughly raised our sights to the value of guests that visit our churches. His book provides a clear and inspiring Biblical mandate to value visitors to our churches. The book also gives very practical guidance on how to achieve that goal. It is a must read for any serious church leader that wants to reach his or her community for Christ.” ~ Danny Tice, Lead Pastor of Bay Shore Community Church Sunday messages, billboards, newspaper columns, flyers, etc – have been broadcasted to our communities about how awesome God and the church is. We do this in order to get the skeptical unbeliever to become a visitor. The issue has never been with our message or the methodology in which we delivered it, but has been in how we confirm our message as the visitor finally decides to walk through our front door for the very first time. The message that we broadcast to the world about Jesus is truly a miracle message, and one that is remarkably difficult for some to believe. * Are you really ready to change your community? * Are you ready to close the back door on your church? * Are you ready to spend as much effort in preparation as in presentation? The message in this book will offer some insight and guidelines to help with these efforts. God wants to work with us for victory, and one of the truest victories a church can obtain is turning an unbelieving, skeptical, first time visitor into a believing, faith filled, regular attender serving the purpose and plan of God for their life. If we are willing to take a hard look at our ministry teams as the catalyst for changing a community, and willing to execute the change among our teams, nothing is impossible.
