Giving away a taste of God's love
During the last quarter of last year we had a vision breakfast. Part of what I discussed was an honest evaluation of how we are living up to our vision. Although obviously all areas can be developed further, the area which we need to focus on the most, is "being an arrow aimed at the heart of our culture."
When Alan and I met to chart the way ahead for the year, we resolved that this year we will get the arrow out of the quiver and heading toward the target. We are live in a city that so desperately needs God's love. We cannot afford to be passive.
Our approach will be twofold - mercy [1] and evangelism [2]. To make this a reality we need your help.
Evangelism is such an intimidating word! Both for the evangelised and the evangeliser. Instead of launching a huge confrontational program, we are going to do a whole lot of small, simple things to touch people with God's love. To start with we are going to give away bottled water on the beach. Anyone can do that! On our first outing we should give about 250 people a small taste of God's love.
"Small things done with great love will change the world."
More on the mercy aspect later...
