Invite a friend, you never know- maybe they'll come back again and again.
Our good friends changed the life of their close friends by inviting them to Church. The story is pretty amazing, just ask Todd or Aurora. That got me thinkin’- maybe I should do more to invite people to Church. But how? When? So I sent out an email about a year ago just telling people I knew about the awesome things God has done in our lives and how I know that attending a Church that I love going to has helped make that possible. I got some positive responses but…
Since then I’ve been trying to think of other ways to help people establish a closer relationship to Christ. Then my AWESOME sister-in-law and close friend SunnyMcFunny mentioned that she was going to invite some friends with kids to our Church Carnival. That got the wheels turning- how smart.
So, I emailed some of my friends with kids that I thought may be open to coming. Who knows if anything will come of it but I think the thought came to me for a reason (I’m always trying to be open to what I think God wants of me and I know he speaks to me in many ways). So even if it only plants a seed…
Sunny was thinkin’ about doing it from a small group exposure possibility. IE: Come see our Church, all that it has to offer- great people and wonderful activities for kids and see where it takes you (and your family). Who knows, maybe it means getting the G.R.O.U.P. built up to the 10 to 12 people again (plus kids) and maybe it even cultivates the opportunity for more small groups to form. Why not? Most people would do anything for their kids- what is more important than their Faith in God?
I mean, that is the purpose- to bring them to God (not necessarily our Church- though I LOVE our Church).
Talking about God to others use to be a difficult thing for me, I thought I wasn’t “good” enough or I was afraid of being labeled or rejected, maybe I was not wanting everyone I know to think of me in those terms. But I love that I’m getting over that- I think that thought-process could be one of the biggest stumbling blocks for Christians out there. I mean, who is perfect?
I’m just doing my best (with God’s guidance) and hopefully I can make a difference, if that causes people to reject me… That’s okay. Sometimes you can’t serve “man” and God. God has to be first. Then the rest falls into place.
Hey, he gives me you’all- a family that endlessly blesses me.
