Basics of Outreach

Outreach is one of the basics of the Christian life. It’s part of who we are...or at least should be!

In 1st John 4:19 the Bible says,“We love because he first loved us.”That’s what outreach is all about. It’s a practical expression of Christian love.

God first poured out his love on us.We, in turn, want to pass that blessing on to other people.

Many Jesus followers know that we should somehow love others and share our faith with them. But there is also sense of inadequacy that the believers seem to have when thinking about the topic of outreach. I do some consulting with churches and have met many people who are willing – even anxious – to reach out to their neighbors. They just didn’t think they knew how. So they had never taken any initiative.

In this blog, I along with other like minded believers will share some tips and ideas about outreach. Willingness is the 1st step, so get ready...you can do it : )
