Outreach

Family Shield understands that family ministry is a tool for effective outreach! Whether people are churched or unchurched they care about their families.

Each year Family Shield hears from over 350 unchurched and unsaved individuals, as well more than 7,000 Christians. Building a positive relationship with those who are unchurched is critical. Often FSM staff and volunteers are helping Christians learn to share their faith and witness more effectively in the home, church, and communities. Training others to witness is part of evangelism! Many of the radio listeners receive the Family Shield e-mail newsletter or call/write us and ask for prayer for their family members, those they are trying to witness to, and for advice and resources. FSM also receives many requests for resources and advice from congregational Family Life Directors, DCE's, and those who serve on the Board of Evangelism or Board of Education at their congregations.

Our radio program is aired on 50 stations throughout the United States. George Barna research has documented that 10-15% of all Christian radio listeners are unchurched. This makes radio a wonderful tool for outreach. Our new podcast also reaches beyond the walls of the church.

A donor in Wisconsin told us that her congregation records and uses the Family Shield radio programs on evangelism calls. They recognize that meeting needs helps them build positive relationships and gives them opportunities to share the law and gospel.
