What if you as a Jesus follower met one person outside of your congregation a week?
What do you think could happen?
Doable?
Over the last month, this has become my goal--and this coming from a full-fledged introvert (maybe to your surprise). It may be challenging in the beginning, but watch how, as you go from week to week, it becoming easier and people you've recently met actually doing the introducing work as they wish you to meet their friends/customers.
Could pastors/church workers model this for our members and lead the charge? Or could our members gracefully inspire church workers to get out of their offices and do life "in" the community? Could this be a way we can "Go" as Jesus commissioned His disciples in Matthew 28:19? Would meeting someone new each week up the chances for someone joining you for worship on the weekend, experiencing Christian community, hearing the good news of Jesus?
Are you up for the challenge? If you are, I'd love to know. Send out a comment.
