Our elderly congregation worries that our church will close if we don't get more people in. But little gets done.
So i have begun a little quiet strategy of my own. Anyone that i know in my friends and family who shows interest, i am encouraging. It's simple. I offer lifts and make them feel welcome. I have discovered it is that easy. There are people who would like to join church but don't know how. It's intimidating. So far ive added 6. I make absolutely sure they sit with me or someone especially friendly.
I did not know my purpose on earth for so long. Now it is becoming clearer. It is to praise my lord Jesus, live in His Will and way and to lead as many souls towards him as i can. In my own tiny way. I am a quiet person but i have many friends. I do have the capacity to do this. It's a matter of communicating with and caring about others. But it involves active effort and time. I do not feel right being inert, its my duty to inform others about how wonderful and great God is and how He transforms lives from despair to joy. As my own testimony bears out.
