Will You Take Advantage of Jumpstart January ’21?
I think you'll agree that these are challenging times. In fact, everything about 2020 makes it one of the most challenging seasons ever.
And yet, I believe there is an unprecedented opportunity in early 2021 to connect more unconnected people than ever before. I also believe that if we connect unconnected people in the right way we will start more new groups than ever before in the process.
I believe this for every church that is ready for the opportunity.
And being ready for the opportunity implies planning and preparation. It also implies a season of prayer.
Why do I believe 2021 presents an unprecedented opportunity?
I believe this because second only to September/October, the very best time to launch new groups and connect unconnected people is January/February. There are four key elements that make this true everywhere:
- The struggles, challenges and difficulties of the old year are front of mind.
- A new year is always perceived as the best chance for new beginnings.
- It is an excellent time to narrow the focus of church-wide efforts to provide easy first steps and next steps.
- The longest uninterrupted season allows new groups to firmly establish before summer (when the newest groups struggle).
Note: These four key elements have never been more true than they are right now.
Have you started planning your January/February strategy to launch new groups and connect unconnected people? Hope so! After all, NOW is the time!
The most effective January and February strategies leverage:
- Keen insights and deep understandings of the interests and needs of unconnected people
- Optimized tactics that reach deeply into the congregation, crowd and community
- Well-designed and coordinated timelines that maximize impact
- Skillful collaboration between multiple ministry departments and teams
How will your January or February strategy turn out?
In November of 2014 I launched what would turn out to be one of my most popular mini-courses based entirely on this opportunity and this need.
I revised it and offered it again in November of 2016 and 2019. Again, hugely popular and so timely for churches intent on maximizing their opportunity.
Do you want to maximize your opportunity in the new year?
Now is the time to make plans that will launch the largest number of new groups and connect the largest number of unconnected people. January and February are too important to put off this critical opportunity!
