Mobilizing Your Men to an Off-Site Event

Men are busy. They have busy lives and more responsibilities than they would care for, but they are heroes who want to follow Christ. They are worth the effort of getting them to a worthy event.

Event & Conference Game Plan

Getting your men to any event

Create a calendar of Sunday dates to use as a checklist to motivate the men of your church. Jump in at anytime. Know that men need 5 to 7 points of contacts before making a decision. Use the ISI videos as helpful examples.
As you begin to rally your men...

-  Put up the event posters.
-  Hand out flyers or brochures at church.

-  Make a general pulpit announcement at church.
- Get more flyers or brochures, if you need them.
As you begin... TIP #1
“Be Patient, Men are Different”
Picture

Seven Weeks Out...

-  Have a short announcement, “Sign-up begins next week.”
-  Email your men (13 and older) this week about signing-up.
-  Email any video to all of your men.

TIP #2
“You Need Visibility”
Picture

Six Weeks Out...
-  Hand out the flyers/brochures this week.
- 
Show a video for the event to the entire church.
-  Pastors and leaders should sign-up first. Then ask 5 or more men to sign-up before posting the Sign-Up Sheet for the rest of the men in your church.
-  Announce that sign-up BEGINS TODAY!
-  Have multiple men at a sign-up table outside the sanctuary.
TIP #3
“It's Not Sunday Service”
Picture

Five Weeks Out...
-   Email the men; asking specifically "Did you sign-up?"
-  Select several men and have them begin
making phone calls inviting men.
-  Continue to use the flyers/brochures.

-  Continue with the sign-up.
-  Begin to make plans for travel, breakfast and dinner
for the event.
TIP #4
“The Personal Invite”
Picture

Four Weeks Out...
-   Remember, it's important that wives see what happens at the event
-  Review who's going and call the undecided men.
-  Consider putting names on a
strategically-located larger sign-up board.
TIP #5
“The ISI Experience”
Picture

Three Weeks Out...
-  Show another event video to the entire church.
-  Call, email or fax your group registration

-  Keep recruiting men. Remember that men are different.
-  Share from the pulpit that there’s one week left to sign-up!

TIP #6
“Men Understand Deadlines”
Picture

Two Weeks Out...
-  Show an event video to the entire church.
-  If the conference is not already SOLD OUT,
register all late-comers at the Group Rate.
-  Make a final appeal to the men, “Last chance to register at the low Early Group Rate pricing.”

One more TIP
“
What it takes to mobilize
the Men of Your Church”

Picture

One Week Out...
-  Watch the "Together - One Local Church Experience" to help inspire your men's ministry leadership team.
-  Confirm travel, lunch and dinner plans with the men.
-  Recruit women and children to cover your men in prayer.

And a final TIP
“Together - One Local
Church
Experience”
