When someone gives his or her life to Christ at the church, the Pastor becomes the shepherd of that person. It is the duty of the Pastor to disciple that person. The Pastor accompanied by either his wife or another member of the church should immediately after the service take that person and their family to dinner. Show that person true love and compassion. Dip into the church building fund if finances are needed for the dinner.
Most churches have too much money in the bank to begin with.
If someone misses a church service the Pastor needs to call that person to see why he or she were missing. Whether they were sick, or on vacation isn't important, the fact that the pastor cares is the most important aspect. The Pastor should greet everyone as they enter the church and bless him or her on the way out. To check on the families of that he is shepherding. A surprise visit truly reveals the state of the sheep and shows the church his true compassion for them.
