Lesson 4.2 — Inviting Guests to Join Your Fellowship
Purpose: This lesson teaches you how to invite guests to your fellowship in a way that feels personal, safe, and simple. You'll learn what to send, how to explain the flow, and how to help someone feel welcome without pressure.
What Is a “Guest”?
A guest is anyone joining your group for the first time. They may not know what a fellowship is or who Kevin Zadai is. They’re not here to teach or lead—they’re here to observe, receive, and connect.
Your role: Make the experience peaceful and welcoming without overwhelming them.
What Link Should Guests Use?
Send them your group’s meeting page, like:
https://warriors.faithtrainers.com/yourgroup/meeting/
When they click:
- They’ll see your group’s branded page
- No login is required
- They may be asked to grant camera/mic access
If your room is password-protected: Share the password ahead of time. Keep the tone light and welcoming:
“Here’s the link and password—just hop in a few minutes before we start!”
What to Say in Your Invitation
Be friendly and casual. Example:
“Hey! I’m part of a small fellowship where we watch a short video, talk through a few questions, and pray. It’s super relaxed. I’d love to have you join one night!”
Or:
“You can just watch and listen. No need to speak unless you want to.”
Before the Meeting
- Let them know it’s okay to stay muted
- Encourage testing their camera or mic
- Ask if they’d like to be introduced—or just observe quietly
During the Meeting
- Greet them by name (briefly)
- Set expectations clearly: “We’ll play the video, go through a few PDF questions, and end in prayer. Share only if you feel comfortable.”
- Don’t put them on the spot
After the Meeting
Send a simple follow-up:
“Thanks for joining us! You’re welcome anytime. Let me know if you have any questions.”
No pressure. Just relationship.
