The Everyday Club/2010

What is the Everyday Club? It’s an evangelistic Club where you make it your goal to share your faith everyday through tracts, personal witnessing or open air preaching. You make your own personal goal and report it here every month.

The minimum goal would be to hand out one tract a day, but you can make whatever goal you want. So far, nearly 100 people have made a daily evangelistic commitment. (Read more about the Club and see who joined last year by clicking here.)

The Club’s purpose is to allow you an opportunity to set an evangelistic goal and monitor your progress and faithfulness to that goal. This is not a legalistic prescription or a vow; it’s simply a personal goal. Sometimes you will fall short, other times you’ll hit it. (Please read some safeguards against pride written by my friend, Tony Miano, here.)

My own personal goal is to hand out 10 tracts a day or have at least one personal witnessing encounter, and to open air preach when the opportunity arises. Because of my commitment to The Everyday Club I don’t want to miss a single day—and believe me, there are some days that I just plain didn’t want to share my faith. (Read about evangelist D. L. Moody’s (1837 – 1899) everyday commitment by clicking here.)

Remember, it’s not a vow, it’s a goal! You may fall short of that goal, but at least you’ll have one. Don’t be afraid; have faith.

Too many times we wait for an “open door” or “that special person” to come along that God wants us to witness to. The early disciples didn’t wait, they moved! It’s my understanding that Jesus came to seek and to save that which is lost, which gives us carte blanche to speak anytime, anywhere.

Am I wrong here?

Join the club.

*****

This is the opportunity for you to make an evangelistic commitment and report on it twelve times a year. (I post each report at the beginning of each month and send you an email reminder.) You can sign up here if you’d like to join by simply leaving a comment about what your daily goal will be.

    Totals for December(rough estimate), This includes both Knoxville, TN and going home to Joplin, Missouri for the Holidays: 652

  2. Jeff Reiman says:

    I am glad to say i finally reached my goal of initiating an evangelistic conversation every day, by God’s grace! At first I thought the fear of man would never go away, but this habit of everyday witnessing is causing it to go away, slowly but surely, and it is really causing me to grow in my faith. I want to encourage others to set some sort of goal that will bring you out of your confort zone every day. My new goal is to initiate a conversation every day and to bring someone from my church with me at least ten times a month. I continue to write stories of these conversations at http://EverydayClub.blogspot.com

  3. Chris Wray says:

    Not sure of totals for December. Re-affirming my goal for at least 1 tract a day or 1 one-on-one a day.

  4. Angel says:

    December was not a good month for me. I kept forgetting to take my tracts with me. I think this is because my husband put my tract box in a cabinet and when they are not out where I can see them, I don’t remember them until it is too late. When I did remember to take them with me, I gave out more to make up for the times I didn’t.

  6. dede says:

    my prayer and my goal for this coming year is more aggressive evangelism in whatever form that may be via the power of God.

    the cross–for now, the only thing my heart is being tugged for is a “weekly” committment to a couple of area high schools…one near my house and one out in the san fernando valley.

    secondly, i pray and desire more boldness and courage. to be open to more creative ways to proclaim the Gospel in OA.

    blessings,
    p.s. thank u steve for your encouragements. i so often felt downcast and defeated this past year. but, i know that no matter how i feel…i must step out in faith to proclaim Him. thank u also to D.D. for her braveness and boldness…what a soldier!

  7. D.D. Sanchez says:

    My goal is one tract a day.

  8. Mark Morrison says:

    I gave out around 400 tracts for December. That included 150 at my mom’s funeral. I know where she is and I can’t wait to see her again ! My goal for 2010 is at least 10 a day.

  9. Thomas Moore says:

    This past year my goals changed in the second half of the year. The first half my goal was called “3-2-1″, which means to get three tracts out each week, do two 1-2-1’s each week, and do one open-air each week. I think every week I got very close to reaching that goal. Then in October I moved to a much smaller town so now things are much different. (I would also like to add that my grandfather passed away in November. He was a believer and I was able to speak at his funeral and give the full gospel to my family who many are not saved)! My new goal became just getting at least one tract out everyday in whatever way I could (mostly laying them out so people can find them. The town I live in has four ATM machines and I’m constantly going to those). Now for 2010 I plan to bump up my goal of getting at least two tracts out everyday! Also I plan to go to any parades, festivals, and events I can to witness! May God get the glory!!!

  10. Steve Martin says:

    My goal is to pray everyday that the Lord will send people into my path that are in pain and ‘being had’ by this world, and that He would give me the courage to speak of Him and the wonderful things He has done to overcome the world, for us.

    And that the Lord would give power to my poor words for His purposes, and that some may truly hear it and become His own.

    Thanks.

  11. Michael Kane says:

    Starting out….one tract a day and/or a one-on-one witnessing each day. Actually had a good talk yesterday with Ryan (cable guy) while he was working on my modem.

  16. Stephen Whitehead says:

    I admit last year I didn’t do too well with my goals for various reasons..

    This year my goal is to hand out or otherwise distribute either a tract or a gospel every day, and to discuss the gospel with at least one person a week.

  17. Barbara Perez Goiri says:

    My daughter and I both commit this year to share our witnessing testimonies by handing out tracts daily. Emily’s goal is 1+ a day and mine is 3 + a day. We’re going to Chile South America in March and my daughter Emily who’s 10 says it’s her first Missionary Trip. I love her heart and we have commited to handing out tracts in Chile as well. May God always bless us all and keep us passionate about the lost!

  18. Richard Chavarria says:

    Well, I missed three days this month. It’s like a slippery slope, miss one day and it’s easy to miss more days. That’s why it’s called the Everyday Club. I love Jeff’s goal of a 1-2-1 everyday. I hope to find a way to build to this goal this year. Right now it’s hand out 10 tracts or a 1-2-1 everyday.

    For December we handed out 1,705 tracts; 8-121’s; 30 open-airs; and more than 630 hearers; plus the corridor of conversion at USC vs. Arizona.

    For the year we passed out 24,730 tracts; 385-121’s; 186 open-airs; with 8,445 hearers, (plus the corridor of conversion).

    Isn’t it amazing that God would use a wretched sinner saved by grace like me to build his kingdom for eternity!!!

    God has called the preaching of his word. which the world calls foolishness to be the power unto salvation.

  19. Paul Yanchek says:

    I am still in for 2010 and plan to be increasing my goal as the year goes on.

  20. Barbara Perez Goiri says:

    So I have a testimony today! Last night my car was stolen and at 6:00am this morning Torrance PD was pounding on my door. They asked me if I knew where my car was and I told them yes it was in my garage. We checked and my carport/garage area was empty. The testimony is that I had like maybe 50-100 of the Happy New Years Evangie Tracts in the back seat and the cops told me they found my car this morning dropped off in East LA with papers all over the car. He/She must have read one, realized they had broken God’s commandments and REPENTED because the car was left parked on the street and left intact. I believe we were used to get the message to this person and we give God all the glory!

  21. Ian says:

    Hi i am new to this and i think i will start off with one person a day and go from there. Pls pray for me as there are many people in my area in great need of Christ and being saved from the wrath of God through the love of Christ. Practice makes perfect and since Christ is our perfecter all should work out good. Thanks much.

  22. Tony Kilgore says:

    I think this is a great idea. I need some accountability in this. I want to commit to pass out at least one tract a day and to praying for the lost. I need to be more active in sharing my faith. Thanks for the challenge!

  23. Eric Stuckey says:

    My brother Chad and I commit to handing out tracts every Sunday afternoon at the Dana Point Harbor. It’s the best place in our home town to do this. Also, with every encounter in our real estate company, we want to be able to give them Jesus. He’s all we have to give. And, He’s the greatest gift of all. Please pray for us, and send me an e-mail if you’d like to join us at the D.P. Harbor one day. It’s difficult to get the local churches involved.

  24. Bob Johnson says:

    My starting goal in this club is at least 1 tract a day. By joining I commit and submit to the accountability.
