Hunters of the Harvest

Hunters of the Harvest Hunters of the Harvest is a ministry targeted to active Christians in local churches in the U.S. to restore and connect dropout believers to the church.

Every church and Christian leader active in a local church in the West are aware of one of the most critical problems of the western church in the 21st century. What is it? It’s the dropout believer – the disconnected Christian who no longer is a part of the local church. Just about everyone knows some...

In our affluent western culture a large percentage of believers who profess faith in Jesus C

hrist no longer participate in the local church - the body of Christ. The nonprofit Barna group estimates 60% of people under age 30 are dropout believers! And boomers were the first generation to begin this trend! In these “latter days” the “falling away” of many in the church is a disturbing reality, particularly in the West. This is a major problem for every dropout Christian and for the church! The current decline of western civilization is arguably attributable to the decline in the number of Christians who are actively living the gospel. Wherever Christians provide “salt” and “light” in the culture by living their faith, society benefits. Murder, crime, hatred, racism, increased poverty, greed, and a superfluous abundance of laws restricting freedoms in every arena are a direct result of this decay. Now there is a response that Christians and the local church can undertake to counter this trend. Hunters of the Harvest reveals a biblical strategy that is highly effective in restoring dropout believers to the body of Christ –the church. It shows how individual believers and churches can restore and reconnect dropout believers to the local church. The book lays out the strategy of restoring & reconnecting dropout believers to the local church and also includes an 8 week small group study guide to impart the vision, inform, and train the local church and believers to make them effective in this ministry of restoration.

Arrows of Truth: Hunters Tip #3 – Why not just invite a dropout to church?

Hunters of the Harvest Ministry - Newsletter
A weekly series to help believers engage with loved ones, friends and neighbors who are dropout believers to restore them to the church - the Body of Christ.

A great question! Do that! After several different people and attempts you may see that this doesn’t typically work. Why not?

The strongholds in their mind will offer up thoughts like:
- Already been there – done that.
- Just a bunch of hypocrites – why bother?
- The church hurt me before – they won’t get another chance.
- All I need is Jesus.
- Nature is my church.
- I have other priorities.
And so on...

Generally speaking, you are not going to get most dropouts back into church by asking them. It’s the stronghold – the false belief system they have bought into - that is preventing them. This is one of the central elements of the Hunters strategy – to learn how to deal with strongholds as you begin to engage with the dropout.

TIP #3

Consider 2 or 3 people in your sphere of influence who are dropout believers. Go ahead and invite them to church. If they say ‘no thanks’ – ask why. You may receive a response that is eye opening. Begin to pray and ask God to reveal to you the real “why” behind the dropout. Then you can begin to pray for the root issue to be dealt with spiritually.

It's a great time to step out in this season to focus on reconnecting dropout believers to the local church. So many needs that dropouts have but don't even realize that God wants to meet through His local body of believers. It takes community in the church to minister to these.
