Collect reusable leftover supplies.
Store the supplies in your church’s supply closet or resource room for use in future Holy Land Adventure programs or other ministry events. If you borrowed supplies such as tents, material, or pottery, return them to their owners.

Leave areas decorated for your next church service.
If outreach was an emphasis during Jerusalem Marketplace, you’ll be pleased when visitors from your Jerusalem Marketplace come for church. They’ll feel more comfortable returning to a familiar environment. Also, church members will enjoy getting a glimpse of your awesome Bible-times village.

Follow up with visitors.
Mail Jerusalem Marketplace follow-up postcards. Encourage Tribe Leaders to make personal contact with the members of their Tribes within two weeks after Jerusalem Marketplace. Use the additional followup ideas beginning on page 139 in this manual.

Report on your program.
During your next worship service, invite center leaders, Tribe Leaders, and families who attended Jerusalem Marketplace to share their favorite experiences. Encourage kids and adults to display their Marketplace projects. You may even want to invite the Gathering Leader to lead everyone in singing one or two favorite songs. When others see how much fun Jerusalem Marketplace can be, your recruiting will be a breeze next year! In fact, they may even sign up for next year’s Holy Land Adventure on the spot!

Present a slide show or video, or post photos from your program.
Kids (and their parents) love seeing themselves on the “big screen.” And colorful photos will bring back memories of a terrific time. Set the whole production to music for an even greater effect.

Meet with your entire staff to evaluate your program.
Celebrate your exciting Bible-times adventure! Make written notes of good ideas that could be used for next year’s program. Note any problems that came up and how they were solved. Brainstorm about ways to avoid similar problems in the future. Include notes of how you adapted the materials to fit your church. Record the names of Tribe Leaders and other staff members who are interested in helping again next year. Bring the photocopiable Jerusalem Marketplace evaluation forms included in this manual (pp. 149-152), and have staff members fill them out.

Thank your staff members for all their hard work.
Photocopy and fill out a “Thank You” certificate (p. 144) for staff members and other volunteers.
