Hey David, the men’s event I said I was organising here in England to a similar format to yours was held last Friday, and it went well! A meaty meal, a soccer penalty kicking competition and a talk by a senior Army officer who is a longstanding committed Christian and has publicly “spoken the truth to power”. We leafleted the entire town of 9000, charged a small sum to get commitment, and handed out leaflets for our forthcoming Alpha course on the exit. Ticket sales were sluggish until the last few days but about half of those present I didn’t recognise and I hope they were nonbelievers and interested. The format is great and I have learned a lot for next time. I’d say the single most important thing is to ‘sell’ the speaker in advance and make sure you have a good one. Thank you for publicising the format.
