meetings can be announced via newspaper ads. Churchesin some countries have used large newspaper adscombined with correspondence courses effectively topreach the gospel.5. Radio spots. Short advertisements on local radiostations can be an effective way for churches to makethemselves known to the community. The advertisementscan include a verse of Scripture and a short word fromthe pastor.6. Posters. The Metropolitan Tabernacle in London,England, which was made famous by Charles Spurgeon,is still an evangelistic church more than 100 years afterhis death. It is pastored today by Peter Masters. One ofthe ways the Tabernacle attracts visitors is throughposters which are positioned on key London undergroundstations. The design is changed from time to time. Thecurrent posters depict various things that keep peoplefrom attending church to hear the gospel. The title at thetop asks, “WHAT KEEPS YOU FROM HEARING THEGOSPEL?” Beneath are six common excuses people givefor not attending church or giving attention to the Bible.These include “I didn’t come to London to get religious,”“Christianity is nothing but Hebrew myths, old peopleand hypocrites,” and “What would my friends say if theyknew where I’d been?” The posters briefly reply to theseideas and invite the reader to “come, hear, and decide foryourself” and to “FACE THE FACTS AT THETABERNACLE NEXT SUNDAY AT 6:30 p.m.” TheSword & Trowel notes: “These are seen by millions ofpeople, and over the years many people who were firstbrought in by seeing a poster have been saved.”
