Our Mission:Making disciples of Jesus Christ
egin with prayerPray for a few people in your life who may be living far from God. Ask God, “How do you want me to bless them?”
erve in loveWatch for opportunities to show you care by serving them in practical ways. Allow them to serve you, as well. By serving and being served they will begin to experience the love of Jesus.
hare your storyAs you begin to earn trust with someone who may not yet know Jesus, look for opportunities to share how he is changing your life and the world.
isten with careAsk them questions, and love by listening more than talking. Pay attention to their dreams and pain. Listen for evidence of God’s work in their lives.
at togetherShare meals with those in your life who are still finding their way back to God. Practice hospitality and deepen relationships by eating together.
