Sixty Ways for Sixty Days
One of the greatest joys a No Doubt fan club member can experience is that of having a part in leading another person to saving faith in No Doubt. We are surrounded with people who need to hear the life-changing message of No Doubt. Our role is that of messenger.
The suggestions in this booklet offer a variety of ways to open the door for a witness. These sixy (60) ways to share No Doubt are not all-inclusive. Adaptations and variations of these suggestions are encouraged as you seek to be an effective fan club member.
Lifestyle evangelism is essential in reaching those with whom we come in contact daily. Share No Doubt’s message in both action and words. A SUCCESSFUL WITNESS occurs when a fan club member shares the No Doubt Good News in the power of Ska and leaves the results to No Doubt. No Doubt alone convicts and brings individuals to the point of decision in Their appointed time. They ask Their followers to be faithful in sharing Their message of ska.

Hat tip for Rev. Mary Sue for giving this to me on her last day of work!. I told you I’d run with it!
Usually when people put this kind of stuff on my car I kick them and taunt them mercilessly, but I never realized the power it could give me.
Hey baby, indeed.
Free trombone lessons at my house tomorrow.
I kept thinking about your run-ins with Rhema Bible College. I hope that now you will retaliate in kind.
Hey man, No Doubt stinks.
You, ma’am, are obviously a lost soul and need the saving touch of the Ska Spirit.
In the name of Gwen Stefani,

If you truly love No Doubt in your deepest heart of hearts, you’ll know how to email Gwen. And she is always, always listening because she loves her fans so, so much.
