8. Effective Emceeing - MUST WATCH
Start the meeting on time and keep to time.
Don’t make off handed comments, mispronounce or forget names, use wrong titles, etc.
Don’t talk too much, or comment on each segment
Don’t give your testimony – it is not your day.
Don’t Preach or Teach
Don’t scold people, even jokingly
Be very mindful putting people on the spot

9. 4. Leading Promotion
“Promotion” is our marketing tool. It will attract membership if effectively done.
The quality of the content will arrest attention
Your Composure, Confidence and Conviction will convince prospective members
Ushers alert to give out membership application forms

10. 5. Raising Offering
Receiving the offering is a time for people to give and receive blessing.
Ideally, should be done by someone who believes in giving and receiving
Stands up boldly, confidently and cheerfully, speaks about God's faithfulness in giving and receiving
There should be the spirit of giving in the meeting before offering is received
Share a short testimony along giving to challenge people present
Ushers are ready with offering baskets not paper cartons or plastic basins
Purpose of offering/pledges clearly stated – mainly for evangelism
Everyone remains seated when offering is received– not standing or dancing to the front
Where music is provided - must be soft or just the instruments.

11. Raising Offering – Must Watch
Don’t take too much time - it is not a time for teaching on offering
Don’t tell the meeting the hotel and meal are expensive
Do not use phrases like: times are hard; economy is bad; people are out of job
It is not an appeal for funds – don’t quote figures for people to give

12. 6. Sharing an Effective Testimony
The key is Prayer, Preparation, Practice and Prayer – 4Ps
Remember you have a maximum of 5 minutes
Remember your testimony is part of team effort that brings men and women
to the Lord Jesus Christ – YOU ARE NOT THE MAIN SPEAKER – most times
your testimony could be a bright part that reinforces the speakers message
You will not read your testimony – write out beforehand, practice it and keep
to what you have been led to speak on
The pattern is: “Before I received Christ”; “How I received Christ” and “After I received Christ”
Emphasize how Christ has changed your life. Don’t glorify your old life.
Don’t feel bad if your testimony is not “huhudiuos”
Tell how God has blessed you with Peace, Joy and riches the world can’t offer
