1.) Send an E-Newsletter:
Do you have a ministry or run a church? If you do your readers would be grateful to receive a weekly e-newsletter. Don't overload or make it too long, send a nice one page to update them about what's going on that week.
You can provide them with bible study times, give them a preview of what your weekly sermon will be about and ask them to pray for others who may be going through hard times. Also give them a weekly tip on how to draw closer to God. It can be as simple as, "remember to smile at a new person today" or "do a random act of kindness."
Also use a small section of the newsletter to give a very short description of your church. Provide the address and meeting times. You never know when someone will forward your email to someone who's interested and they'll decide to try coming to church
2.) Send Regular Scripture Emails:
Some people feel that emailing everyday is going to annoy your readers. It won't if it's done correctly. Anyone on your list looks to you as a person of faith and most likely wants to hear your word. You can draw closer to your readers and help them by sending regular scripture emails.
How do you do this?
Each day pick a verse from the Bible and email it to your readers. You can name it something like, "Pastor Emmanuel's Daily Verse" and tell your readers why you love the verse you picked. Then give them some tidbit of information they can take away and use. If you give your readers uplifting messages they will start to count on you delivering their daily dose of optimism. Give them something to think about each day.
3.) Tell Stories:
There's nothing readers like more than an uplifting story about an underdog. You can deepen the bond with the people on your list by sending them good stories from time to time.
Do you have a cause that your website or ministry supports? Do you help build schools in Africa or do you raise money to give food to needy children in the U.S.?
Share with your readers a story of a child who was touched by your service and how their life is better. It will motivate them to join your cause and give.
Another way to share stories is to talk about people who have come unto Christ. How their lives have changed since they decided to follow God.
Did they give up an addiction or did they come out of a bad situation and decide to follow Jesus?
Stories like this will uplift readers and want them to share God's message with others.
Sharing the word of God with others isn't just talking about scripture it's about developing a relationship with others and inviting them to come unto Christ. Daily or weekly contact by email will help strengthen that bond and help readers think of you as a person of God.
