There is nothing better than bringing someone to Jesus! A friend of mine has been wanting to come to church but has been a little hesitant. I've told people at church about him and last week a friend from church, Lorrie asked if he was still going to come. I told her the reasons for his hesitation and she said she'd be happy to meet us for lunch sometime. I asked John* if he would be interested and he said yes, and we met today.
First off I can't thank Lorrie enough for taking the time to meet John* and talk to him. Lorrie has been around for a while and she knows God's Word and she's has struggles but she also knows God's faithfulness and goodness. She is passionate about God and wants to bring people to Him. I couldn't have said the things John* needed to hear like she did. To have a friend like Lorrie is amazing because you have someone to teach you about God and the Bible. I've been a believer for a long time but not a follower, not a Bible reader, and not a church goer. I still have A LOT to learn.
When Nathan and I moved home last March one of the main things that got me through those tough four months was church, bible study and the people. I want John* to have the same support, encouragement and help. And if I can help his journey by introducing him to a veteran believer I certainly will=)
When I first started this blog I wanted it to be a source of encouragement, inspiration, or something positive instead of depressing, cynical, or negative attitudes/views/ideas that are taking over our world. My plan is for that to continue but with something added....concern and care for those less fortunate. News about those who are suffering and how we can help. Lets make a difference and help better someone's life!
