8 Keys to a Successful
Live Seminar Event
1) Solicit prayer warriors for this effort. Pray that God will open
hearts to His truth in the areas of finance, family relations, and
personal holiness. Also pray that unsaved people will come to
know Jesus through this effort.
2) Be sure to provide childcare—and promote the fact! Many of the
people who need this seminar the most have the dilemma of
“What will we do with the kids???”
3) Help everyone catch the vision: This seminar isn’t just for people
struggling with money troubles. It speaks to people who are doing
well financially—and who want some good investment tips and
teaching on Biblical giving and stewardship.
4) PERSONALLY invite 6 people that you know: Co-workers,
friends, members at other churches, inactive members—be
creative! Remember, nothing takes the place of a personal
invitation.
5) Have ushers in place to welcome attendees and hand out
workbooks.
6) Have attendance cards available so visitors can be identified for
future follow-ups.
7) Elders/ministry staff should identify and make personal contacts
with members you know who have financial troubles. Urge them
to attend.
8) We lead by example—Elders and Staff should make it a point to
be present for all four sessions—and let the congregation know
you will be.
A Countdown Checklist
To A Winning Seminar
5-Weeks Prior:
1) Pray: You might consider:
 Asking the Elders to lead special prayers at each service starting 4 weeks
before the event.
o Ask God to bring people to the NDNS! Seminar.
o Ask for help in areas of giving, stewardship, marital relations and
money, materialism, those suffering with too much debt.
 Encouraging class teachers to pray with their classes.
2) Establish a Steering Committee to Brainstorm:
 Ideas of people to invite (other churches in the area, people who are
struggling, high school groups, parents of “mother’s day out” ministry,
etc.—be creative!)
 Plan child-care
 Conceive promotional plan
 Schedule special prayer service(s) asking God to bless the event and the
people who come, etc.
 Conceive ways to involve members throughout the church
4-Weeks Prior:
3) Member Involvement: Encourage every member to be an event promoter.
Every member should be a messenger! This accomplishes 2 things:
 Like they say, “Many hands make light work.” The more members who are
helping get the word out—the better.
 One of the best ways to get members to attend the event—is for them to
partner in the project. When people become involved, they take ownership.
When they take ownership—they will want to attend.
 Some things members can do:
o Call their friends
o Speak to co-workers and classmates
o Make and pass out handbills (Feel free to copy/adapt use any of the
material we have supplied)
o Write personal letters to friends
o Contact past visitors
o Send an email to everyone on your various email lists
4) Posters: Put posters up approximately 4 weeks prior to the event.
(You may order 11”x17”, full color posters by emailing your request to
[email protected]
(Prices: 12 for $23: 24 for $45; 40 for $74; 60 for $110; or 80 for $136 plus S/H.)
 Post throughout the church building
o All exterior doors (both sides)
o Mirrors in restrooms
o Bulletin boards
o High traffic areas (foyers, hallways, entries to auditorium)
o Adult and teen classrooms
 Public buildings: Laundromats, restaurants, hospitals, bookstores, libraries,
civic buildings, other area stores
o NOTE: Meeting shop owners will give you a great opportunity to
invite them to attend.
 Ask members to hang posters in their workplaces.
5) Website Promotion: Use the church website to announce the NDNS! Seminar.
Put NDNS! Logo on your Homepage with short description and list of benefits
(see NDNS! promotional material for ideas.) Be sure to include date, time, childcare info, etc. Also feel free to add a link from your website to the NDNS!
website at www.nodebtnosweat.com (You may want to leave this link active
even after the seminar as it is filled with great information that members may
find helpful on an ongoing basis.)
6) Bulletin Promotions: Promote the NDNS! Seminar event 2 ways in the
bulletin:
 Run the ads supplied in the promotional kit in each weekly bulletin.
 Ministers and/or Elders may wish to prepare short articles encouraging folks
to come and reminding them of the seminar’s purpose and benefits. (Feel free
to use material from the NDNS! book, website, and promotional kit.)
7) Area Congregations: Call area congregations, talk the seminar up! Get
commitments to hang posters—then send them. (Better yet, hand-deliver them!)
3-Weeks Prior:
8) Newspaper: Many newspapers are happy to run articles about upcoming events
like a financial seminar. Adapt the sample press release included in your promo
kit and ask all the local papers to run it. Be sure to get the material to the
newspapers approximately 2-3 weeks before the event. (Hopefully, they will run
it the week of the seminar.)
2-Weeks Prior:
9) Radio: Begin airing radio spots in the promotional kit approximately 1-2 weeks
prior to the event on both Christian and secular stations. (Frequently stations will
air these for free as Public Service Announcements if you make a good case for
the community benefits of such a financial seminar.)
10) Television: Consider running commercials on local TV stations. Frequently
spots can be bought on CNN, ESPN, Discovery, A&E, Fox News, History
Channel, etc. from the local cable company very inexpensively. Also, many
cable operators sell “trailer ads” that scroll across the screen.
11) Letter from the Elders: Mail a letter to all members from the Elders expressing
their commitment to this important event. Encourage everyone to attend.
12) Sign: If you have a sign—USE IT! Copy might read:
FREE Money Help Seminar
Day, Date, Starting Time
Childcare Provided
1-Week Prior:
13) Phone Calls from the Elders/Benevolence Ministry: Every church has
members/visitors who have asked for benevolence help on more than one
occasion. These people should be called and told that they are expected to be in
attendance. (But kind—but firm.)
3-Days Prior:
14) Mass Email To All Members: Prepare a short (75-125 word) reminder of the
NDNS! Seminar. Be sure to include: Day, date, time, child-care info, some of
the benefits. Also, feel free to paste our website address
(www.nodebtnosweat.com)
15) Phone Tree: If your church has a phone tree (either automated or the oldfashioned member-calling-member system)—USE IT!!! About 3 days prior to
the event make one last church-wide calling—urge everyone to come. Include
day, date, time, and child care info.
Fact Sheet
A Seminar That Changes Lives and Legacies!
Today the church openly discusses divorce, alcoholism and substance abuse—but
we are still afraid to talk about our money. And while we sit quietly by, financial pain is
killing us!
The best data confirms that Christians have the same money problems that our
secular friends face. As a matter of fact, our plight may actually be worse. Why?
Because Christians who struggle with financial pain are often afraid of being found out.
No one wants to admit that he’s—
 Sitting bolt-upright in bed at 3:00 am wondering how to pay the rent;
 Afraid to answer the phone for fear of another harassing collector;
 Waiting for the next VISA Card to arrive because all the others are maxed out!
So we continue living a spiritually dysfunctional lifestyle. We borrow 125% of the
value of our homes. We come to church in SUV’s that we finance on 7-year loans. (No
wonder banks have drive-up windows—they give cars a chance to see who owns them!)
We spend money we don’t have to buy things we don’t need—to impress people we
don’t like. Folks, this is dumb behavior!
The facts are clear. Today:
 We’re spending 20% of our income paying off short-term debt.
 70% of us experience living paycheck-to-paycheck.
 Money problems are the leading cause of divorce—4 to 1 over anything else.
 90% of us won’t be able to retire with dignity.
 College kids have learned a lot from their parents—the average student is carrying
about $3,400 of credit card debt at graduation.
 The average car loan lasts 58 months and costs about $380 per month.
No Debt No Sweat! changes the way we think about and use our money. With humor
and a confessional heart, you’ll learn how cultural materialism has destroyed our spiritual
vigor.
Christians learn to free themselves from the bondage of financial pain. We learn how
over-spending is frequently a spiritual issue. Often we are trying to fill the holes in our
hearts with stuff. Yet, upon closer examination, we see that these holes are shaped
exactly like Jesus—and, nothing else will fill them.
No Debt, No Sweat! has a unique focus on both the temporal and the eternal nature of
money—and how we use it. By doing it God’s way, the attendee will be empowered to
get his financial house in order, and take off like a bullet with a tailwind!

The No Debt No Sweat! Seminar shows God’s people how to use God’s money
God’s way—Christians are freed from the bondage of “stuff-itis.” Today Christians
desperately need the tools and the knowledge to get out of uncontrolled debt so they can
be about Kingdom business. Our people are so busy dealing with debt and bad spending
habits—their spiritual vigor is depleted. Most people are now spending 20% of their
income paying off short-term, high-interest debt. And, the average Christian is giving
barely more than 2% of his income back to God. Money problems are the #1 cause of
divorce—by a rate of 4 to 1 over the next thing! Instead of sitting bolt up-right in bed at
3:00 am, at a No Debt No Sweat! Seminar people learn how to kill the Debt Monster and
develop spending plans that really work! The seminar gives hope and brings spiritual
renewal. It increases giving and restores romance in marriages. It is both humorous and
confessional—yet profoundly Biblical.
The 4-part seminar really “softens the beachhead” for a church like ours that
hopes to begin an on-going financial training class. The “pep rally” nature of the No
Debt No Sweat! Seminar can be a catalyst for fence sitters. It helps them catch the
vision and get the motivation to go further in subsequent small group and classroom
settings.
Often the very people who need financial help the most won’t go to a small group
study because they’re afraid of the “accountability” sessions. But they will come to a
seminar where they won’t be drawn out or embarrassed. The No Debt No Sweat!
Seminar “softens the beachhead” and can serve as a recruiting tool for a church that
wants to follow-up with a small group study. The “pep rally” nature of the No Debt No
Sweat! Seminar can be a catalyst for such fence sitters. It helps them catch the vision
and get the motivation to go further in subsequent small group and classroom settings.
The seminar is very biblical—yet seeker-friendly. It’s an ideal way to reach the
unsaved—everyone wants to learn about his or her money. Churches that invite their
communities broaden their outreach and build credibility. This approach opens peoples’
hearts to the Ultimate Message. The sessions are fast paced and presented on Power
Point. To enhance the learning experience, attendees receive workbooks they fill out as
the seminar progresses.
These days unsaved people won't come to "Gospel Meetings"--but they will come
if they think the church is going to help with a perceived need. After all, this was Jesus'
approach: He fed and healed before He taught. It still works today. Like they say,
"Outsiders don't care how much we know until they know how much we care!"

bondage of financial pain. The audience learns how to get out of debt—and permanently

How To Set Up & Prepare
Where?
1. Select an area that you feel will be most appropriate. Usually the
auditorium is best, however some churches prefer to set up tables
with seats in a large all-purpose room.
2. Occasionally a church will ask, “Would it be better if we rented a
separate facility?” Generally, it is best to host the seminar at the
church building. Why? Because this is an ideal way to get
visitors comfortable and familiar with your location. The goal is
to make visitors feel at home—and comfortable coming back to
future worship services.
Equipment Needs and Set Up
1. I will need a wireless microphone.
2. The entire seminar is presented on Power Point. I will need a
Power Point projector that I can control from the front of the
auditorium/hall.
3. Please set a table up in the foyer (and at any other point of entry)
for book and tapes.
4. Please post a member at each door with workbooks to be handed
out to all attendees.
5. Please arrange for me to have some drinking water available
during the sessions.
Why a No Debt No Sweat! Seminar?
Today Christians are drowning in debt. Our marriages are in trouble. And people
aren’t giving like they should. We are so busy dealing with debt and bad spending
habits—our spiritual vigor is depleted.
On average people are now spending 20% of their income paying off short-term, highinterest debt. And, the average Christian is giving barely more than 2% of his income
back to God. Most college kids start out in the hole—graduating with $3,400 of credit
card debt! Money problems are now the #1 cause of divorce!
A No Debt No Sweat! Seminar shows God’s people how to use God’s money
God’s way—Christians are freed from the bondage of “stuffaholism.”
The NDNS! Seminar serves on several levels:
 Christians learn how kill the Debt Monster —and begin giving like we
should by developing spending plans that really work.
 Restores romance in marriages.
 People learn to save for college and prepare to retire with dignity.
 Christians learn to give like never before!
 The seminar is also seeker-friendly. It’s an ideal way to reach the
unsaved—churches that invite their communities broaden their outreach
and build credibility. This approach opens peoples’ hearts to the Ultimate
Message.
 Kids learn to avoid the mistakes we’ve made.
 It is both humorous and confessional—yet profoundly Biblical.
 NDNS! Seminars “softens the beachhead” for churches that may want to
offer an on-going small group study in Godly money management.
 People learn that there is real hope—a brighter future.
