2025-12-01 00:00 - 2025-12-24 23:59 (America/Kentucky/Louisville) | True Words Baptist Church, 1377 S 20th St, Louisville, KY, 40210, United States
Isaiah 9:6
For unto us a child is born, unto us a son is given: and the government shall be upon his shoulder: and his name shall be called Wonderful, Counsellor, The mighty God, The everlasting Father, The Prince of Peace.
Overview
This December, we want to fill God’s house with people who need to hear about the birth of our Savior. The Invite Someone to Christmas Challenge is simple: spend the month inviting people to church and bringing as many guests as you can to our Christmas Eve Service.
Every invitation is a seed of the Gospel. Every guest is a soul who will hear that Jesus Christ is the Son of God, the only Savior, and the only way to heaven.
Key Challenge Details

Focus: Invite and bring visitors to the Christmas Eve Service.
Who Can Participate: Any church member or faithful attender.
Goal: See as many visitors as possible hear a clear presentation of the Gospel.

How the Challenge Works

Throughout December, invite family, friends, co-workers, neighbors, and anyone you meet to our Christmas Eve Service.
On Christmas Eve, each visitor will be asked who invited them so we can record it properly.
All visitors will be counted, and the person who brings the most visitors to the service will be recognized.

The Prize
The person who brings the most visitors to the Christmas Eve Service will receive a Christmas Dinner Gift Basket filled with special Christmas treats and a gift card.

Christmas popcorn tins
Hot cocoa mix
Candy and cookies
$50 gift card for Christmas dinner or groceries

The prize is a thank you, but the real reward is seeing people hear the Gospel and believe on the Lord Jesus Christ.
Key Dates and Events

Christmas Eve Service: A Christ-centered service focused on the birth of Jesus Christ, with clear Gospel preaching and an invitation to be saved.
Fellowship After the Service: A time of fellowship with desserts, hot drinks, and time with the church family and guests.
Prize Announcement: The winner of the Invite Someone to Christmas Challenge will be announced after the Christmas Eve Service and fellowship.

Purpose of the Challenge
The purpose of this challenge is not numbers, but souls. We want to:

Fill the church with people who need to hear the Gospel.
Encourage every believer to be bold in inviting others to church.
Use the Christmas season to point people to Christ, not to the world’s version of Christmas.

Our mission at True Words Baptist Church is to turn believers into bold disciples of Jesus Christ. Inviting people to church, especially when the Gospel will be clearly preached, is one of the simplest and most powerful ways to live that mission.
How to Take Part

Pray and ask God to show you who to invite.
Carry invitations, tracts, and church information with you wherever you go.
Personally commit to bringing at least one visitor, and ask God to help you bring more.
Follow up with people you invite: call them, text them, remind them, and offer them a ride if needed.

Let’s make this December a month of inviting, rejoicing, and celebrating the birth of our Savior. Invite someone to church, bring them to the Christmas Eve Service, and pray that God will save them and change their eternity.
