$1 Car Wash Outreach

We have all seen servant evangelism done with a "free car wash". This have been successful in sharing the love of Christ in a practical way. Some people however are apprehensive about taking advantage of such a deal.

What if we advertised a $1 car wash and instead of us receiving $1 per car.... get ready...... wait for it.... we give them a dollar? Many outreaches cost something. For our church, the low side (of cost) is around $100. So with that budget in mind.... go and wash 100 cars :) All of the other materials can be gathered from folks in the church...friends... and family.

Think about it and let me know how it turns out.

Engage Culture....


Engage culture: 
Do you have any friend outside of "church"? Jesus was a “friend of sinners.” He did that by eating with them. We must be friends with the culture. We need to be missionaries. What do you like to do? Drink coffee? Go and hang out at the local coffee shop... and be friendly. Don't be a like a salesman trying to turn or burn someone to come to the Lord. Just be yourself.... hopefully you aren't an overbearing legalistic sort  of person :)

What was Jesus like? People wanted to be WITH JESUS.
When was the last time people were knocking down doors to get into your church/small group?
Our problem is perception.

What people 1) See.... 2) Hear..... 3) Experience = perception

Ponder that equation. Put on a fresh set of eyes. When you come into contact with people... when people go to your church or small group.... what do they see, hear and experience?
