Reports To: Weekend to Remember Director
Purpose: To make initial connections with individuals who make a significant decision for Christ at Weekend to Remember events, to confirm and affirm salvation decisions, and to help connect new believers with a local avenue to take next steps in their faith.

Positional Category: Volunteer
General Qualifications: See Qualifications page
Additional Qualifications:
- Must be an active Group Coordinator

Responsibilities:

- By God’s grace, model godly family relationships.
- Attend and participate in Area Team meetings
- Participate in team ministry efforts onsite during the Weekend to Remember(s)
- Contact all who indicate that they received Jesus Christ during your local Weekend to Remember(s):
- The primary goal is to help them get plugged into a good local church… not to personally disciple everyone who made a spiritual decision
- Allow them to share what God did in their hearts at the WTR to bring them to a salvation decision
- Through discussion, assess what next steps might be appropriate to help them grow in their faith
- Utilize FamilyLife and/or Cru resource material to help as next steps
- Ask how you can pray for and encourage them presently, then pray with and for them
- Follow-up as a form of encouragement and ongoing prayer support, as appropriate
- The next level of spiritual follow-up, for those who have the capacity and calling, would be to follow up with others who indicate significant spiritual transformation during a FamilyLife event (checked another spiritual decision box, shared a life-change testimony, or indicated a significant growth jump in their marital unity)
