Let’s throw open those church doors and bring Jesus out into society again!
These initial campaigns represent our foundational “sprinkling seeds of salvation” activities. The people around us may not yet be open to Jesus, but our efforts might be the very first step in opening their hearts! We won’t know how many “seeds” a person needs or has already experienced, so we just sprinkle them around freely. The seeds we sprinkle may not be welcomed explicitly, and may even be disparaged, but we pray our seeds will take root in the heart and mind of someone, then we let God do the rest!
Our efforts as we kickoff 2023 will include the following:
- Car Window Painting
- We will choose a different bible verse for the group each calendar month. The idea is that the general public will start to notice the same bible verse written on multiple different cars all over the city wherever they go (work, grocery store, highway, mall, etc), and then a new bible verse each month, and hopefully it starts to do a work in them!
- Wear Your Faith (Everywhere)
- Most of us probably do this already, so it’s a practice we’re just encouraging and emphasizing. Wear your cross everyday, and wear your faith-inspired attire as often as possible! Be sure to encourage others you encounter as well! I make a point to compliment all cross jewelry I see.
- Practice Your Faith (Everywhere)
- Carry your bible and read that during wait times instead of scrolling through your phone (i.e. in Dr office waiting room or at hairdresser). Hold hands and say grace before meals in restaurants. Say a prayer with the friend you meet for coffee. Hold your bible study at a coffee shop instead of in a private home. At the very least we will be working to normalize praying in public, but we might also be sprinkling the seed that helps someone in need that day!
