Creating a PASSION for EVANGELISM

We have been focusing on the book just walk across the room for the past few weeks at church. This evening Chris shared on the Woman at the well and some points that we can learn from Jesus on how to tell people about Christ.

1. Bridge The Chasm- Be willing to talk to people different than you
2. Ask a question- Always will start a conversation
3. Practice patience- Don't be in a hurry. Take time to talk.
4. Avoid Rabbit trails- need I say more.
5. Give hope to the hopeless- Jesus can offer hope to those around you in need.

Afterwards though we did a hands on activity. We gave each family a packet of sticky notes and texters (markers) to write on the stickit notes. Then we went and stuck the notes to all the chairs. Chris had set up an extra 60 chairs in the hall. Then after people put the notes on the chairs we went aroudn prayed for those people. Makayla stayed right with me the whole time. She wrote her friends names on "HER" notes and Dawson stuck them to the chair. WE then went as a family and prayed for the chairs. I got to a chair that had "Braydens" name on it. And, Makayla says. I wrote Braydens name becuase I hope he chooses Jesus to live in his heart when he gets older. So, we sat and put Brayden in the chair and prayed for him! I praise God we have children who see the need for people to have Jesus. Yet, they have not forgotten their own little brother! It was one of those heart moving moments where you praise JESUS for all HE has done in our lives! And, let me tell you.... It is alot!!!!

Afterwards we sang Praises for all HE is going to do through us being his hands and feet. It was truly a heart moving moment.
