Nurture and Follow up — Scope and suggestions
After a person has made a Confession of Faith:
Contact your pastor to arrange for baptism
Offer to meet with the person for support and to help him or her to grow in faith.
When meeting one-on-one, take plenty of time to listen to the person’s needs. Share Bible verses appropriate to the person’s situation. Let the person talk through and apply thoughts from other input such as sermons. Pray together. When there is time, share the Bible truths provided as the First Steps in Growth.
