From Bill Oden
Hello. Thank you for asking.
Thank you for inquiring about the AfterCare process we try to encourage our brothers and sisters to use in our campaigns with We Care Ministries. We are encouraged by your interest in what we do to help our Lord’s kingdom grow. Our desire is to keep all our new babes in Christ all the way to heaven.
This is where it all starts. The Cross. The new Christian has taken his or her sins to the crucified Savior. God cleans up that soul, puts His Holy Spirit in them, and makes them part of His family, the Church. They come from the world and all walks of life — with their own beliefs, attitudes, experiences, and opinions. Our responsibility as brothers and sisters is to help them learn what Christianity is all about.
AfterCare is the beginning of evangelism. Building relationships takes time, effort, money, patience, understanding, and commitment. Just as you are committed to a newborn brought home, so we must be committed to the new Christian from the moment he or she comes up out of the water. Many have never had family. For some, to be loved has not been part of their life. When God entrusts a new babe to His family, He expects the family to become its spiritual parent.
When one obeys the gospel and puts on the Lord in baptism, our work begins. We must build a relationship that lets them know we care, we are here, and we will be their friend, family, and caregiver.
— Bill Oden

Aftercare is the beginning of evangelism
If older members of the family are not willing to work to adopt the new babes, they are not ready to help give birth to them in the first place. The first twenty-four hours are critical.
