We believe God is calling us to be a church that embodies the good news throughout the Okanagan. This will mean being a church of action and words. Our neighbours can’t find life in Jesus if they don’t know who he is or what he’s done. And they can’t know him if they haven’t heard about him.
So, our idea this spring is to plant seeds of good news by initiating dialogue and asking good questions. Over a period of 4 weeks (April 13th to May 12th), we are inviting you to stretch yourself having personal faith conversations with people around you who may not know Jesus yet.
Here’s what we are inviting you into:
Identify people in your life who might be open to spiritual conversations. Pray about it and ask God to help point you in the right direction. You might even think about the various places you spend your time and who is there with you.
Examples:
The people I work out with at the gym, friends at school, my aunt who I phone each week, the neighbours on my block.
Sometimes a good question just stays with us. One good starter question can organically lead to a deeper question.
Examples:
It’s been said you repeat what you measure. Goals capture our hearts and minds. So how many conversations might you like to have in 28 days? Is one a stretch goal? Might you ask God for three meaningful conversations or even five? Set a goal for how many spiritual conversations you might have and keep track!
