Every Sunday someone in your church could begin a brand-new life in Christ. The question isn't whether they'll say yes... It's whether you're prepared for what comes next.

Every Sunday we have the opportunity to ask one of the most important questions anyone will ever hear.

Would you like to follow Jesus?

Nothing matters more.

Someone can walk into church carrying shame, fear, pain and confusion... and leave knowing Jesus has forgiven them and given them a brand-new life.

Those moments never get old.

But I think every pastor should wrestle with another question:

A handshake?

A Bible they may not yet know how to read?

A church brochure?

Or will they leave with a clear first step for Monday morning?

Salvation is instantaneous.

Discipleship is intentional.

One decision changes eternity. The next step changes a life.

I wrote I Have Decided to Follow Jesus to become the very first resource a brand-new believer receives after saying yes to Jesus.

It isn't a theology textbook.

It isn't a church membership manual.

It's a simple, practical guide that helps someone begin building a personal relationship with Jesus.

When someone walks away from your altar, I don't want them wondering...

"Now what?"

Pastor, don't assume everyone in the room already knows Jesus.

Don't let familiarity steal urgency.

Don't allow time pressure or fear of awkwardness to silence the invitation.

Preach the Gospel clearly.

Create space for people to respond.

Make a call for salvation every single Sunday.

Too many churches plan for discipleship after someone responds to Jesus.

Healthy churches prepare before God moves.

Don't wait until someone raises their hand to decide what comes next.

Have a clear first step ready.

Keep books at Guest Services. Keep them in your prayer room. Keep them beside the platform. Equip every altar worker and every campus with them.

Faith prepares for the harvest before the harvest arrives.

Don't make next week their first step. Help them take it today.

I Have Decided to Follow Jesus was written specifically for people who have just made a decision to follow Christ.

It gives new believers a clear path instead of leaving them wondering what to do next.

Inside they'll discover:

Someone responds to the Gospel.

A leader celebrates with them.

Someone prays with them.

Their contact information is collected.

Then, before they leave your building, someone places this book into their hands and says…

This Sunday, don't simply ask people to follow Jesus.

Prepare to help them keep following Him.

Decide how many people you're believing God to save this year.

Then take a step of faith.

Order one copy of I Have Decided to Follow Jesus for every new believer you're believing God for this year.

Don't prepare for yesterday's harvest.
Prepare for tomorrow's.
