Brothers, I attend a church outside of Syracuse in the heart Suburb America. The church has planted an inner-city church to reach the people downtown, but the rich folks all around our main church in suburbia remain unreached. It is my pastor's heart to reach the local community. I met with my pastor and he wanted to hear the message board's input on how to reach the rich folks here in suburbia America. Suggestions or Ideas?
thanks

My brother the same message for all.....repent. Law, Law, Law Scriptue says that the law of the Lord is perfect converting the soul.

Message is not the question... but method. I am wondering if anyone has done anything specific in Suburb communities that has been effective... Rake leaves and hand them a tract for example.

I go to school in one of the richest communities in my state and I have to say it is very hard to preach the gospel to the wealthy.This, of course, may just be my area. I would seek the Lord in prayer on what ways to reach them and whether or not they listen or take tracts be dilligent to keep proclaiming the truth. Many times we are called to preach the gospel even when people will not listen because their blood will be upon their own heads if they choose harden their hearts (Ezekiel 33).

One2Ones have been the most effective ways of sepaking to them. They do not like tracts here, especially the million and billion dollar tracts. They aren't big fans of open air either.
