The Issue

Let's be real. Although most of us are aware of the Great Commission, "GO therefore and make disciples of all nations" (Matthew 28:19) we still find it difficult to even walk across the street to share our GOOD NEWS with our neighbors. For Americans, talking to strangers is the number one reported fear.What's up with that? OUTREACH should be our biggest goal but it's our biggest FEAR! BUT wait there's HOPE!

A Great Solution

It's called SERVANT EVANGELISM. This is where we show God's kindness to others by doing a humble service for them with no strings attached. We're taking God at His Word when He says "His kindness leads to repentance" (Rom 2:4). Imagine the look on someone's face when we have real love in our eyes and hand them a FREE bottle of cold water on a HOT day. So many times they ask "why are you doing this?" We simply let them know we're showing God's kindness with no strings attached. Sometimes they're receptive and want to know more. But if they're not, that's OK too, because we've at least planted a seed. And it's just FUN to watch people light up when we say, "it's FREE, yeah totally FREE". So…. we have fun planting the seeds of God's love; the Holy Spirit waters the seeds. Then God gets the harvest! Now how cool is that? Small things done with great LOVE will change the world.

Is it for you?

Servant Evangelism is a natural, easy, low-risk, high grace venture that's FUN for the whole family. If you can pour a cup of coffee, use a rake, or give away a smile - then you're qualified!
