IDENTIFY three people, as the Holy Spirit leads you, in your life who do not appear to be walking with God that you can pray and care for.
INTERCEDE for those in your life who appear to be disconnected from God. Read the following Scriptures for ideas on who to pray for them: Col. 4:2-3, Acts 26:17-18, 2 Cor. 4:6, Is. 45:8
INVEST time in your relationship/friendship with each of them. "We were ready to share with you not only the Gospel of God but also our own selves, because you had become very dear to us." 1 Thess. 2:8
- Weed a neighbor's garden. Help someone move. Provide a meal for someone ill.
- Be friendly. Say hi (or howdy) to people. Be a good listener.
INVITE them to know more about Christ. You can invite them to your small group or an activity at your church that is "friendly" to those who are exploring faith in Christ. Learn how to share the message of Salvation in a way that is caring and compelling. (We'd love to help you with this!)
INVOLVE them in your life, your small group, and the life of the church. Most are receptive to being involved AFTER they have seen the love of God in your words and actions.
