Following is what a Good News for YourTown website will include—any item of which can be excluded if so desired:
1.
YourTown Website: A complete 125-page Good News for YourTown gospel outreach website—personalized with your church name, services and ministries—with 91 inspirational and practical articles that apply the gospel and Christian message to the felt needs of everyday people—written in non-churchy language. (Any articles not preferred for your Good News website can be excluded).
YourTown Matching Follow-Up Website: Your package can, if desired, include a Good News for YourTown personalized 27-pagefully automatic integrated follow-up "Living, Loving and Learning" website with eleven articles designed to help respondents grow in their Christian faith and walk with God.
Articles include: "How to Grow," "What a Good Church Can Do for You," "Is the Bible the Word of God?" "Jesus Christ: Is He God or Man," and more. This site is set up to work automatically with the decision page on your website. This makes immediate follow-up very effective and extremely simple. It is highly recommended that you combine this website with your "Good News for YourTown" website. Any articles that might not suit your needs can be excluded.
Invitation to Your Church Services/Ministries: Two or three pages presenting a brief message from your pastor, church highlights, services, and ministries of your church with a link to your main church Home Page.
Contact/Feedback Page: ACTS will provide a contact/ feedback page so website visitors can respond directly to the e-mail address of the contact person you nominate for your church or group. This page would be designed specifically to suit the needs of your church and/or ministry.
Salvation/Decision Response Form:A Salvation/re-commitment to Christ decision/response form, an essential part of your website, so all responses will automatically go directly to the e-mail address of the person in your church that you nominate.
Good News Business-Witness Cards: Print-ready artwork for attractive business witness cards designed to match your "Good News for YourTown" website can also be included in your package. Business witness cards make it very simple for all members to give to family, friends, neighbors and contacts to invite them to visit the "Good News for Your Town" website and as such to visit your church. If needed, the name and contact information of a high quality printer can be provided—a print shop that can, if required, supply the witness cards shrink-wrapped in packs of 25 or 50 (or as desired)—very reasonably priced.
Invitational Door Hangers: Also included in your package can be the print-ready artwork for attractive door hangers designed to invite the families in your town to visit your "Good News for YourTown" website and through which to visit your church. If you are located in the U.S., ACTS can give you the name of a company that delivers door hangers to households at a very reasonable price, or you may know of such a service in your area. We will have four different designs available—including one for Christmas and another for Easter.
"If you build it they will come," may work in Hollywood movies such as "Field of Dreams," but in the real world we have to advertise wisely to invite people to visit our websites. This is why we encourage the use of business witness cards and door hangers for local outreach.
Hosting Service: ACTS will upload your website to our server and maintain your Good News website for a twelve month period. After the first year, a low-cost monthly hosting charge will be applied to continue hosting your Good News website.
