Invest And Invite

About a year and a half ago, I introduced a strategy to the church called Invest And Invite. The idea behind this is getting every church member involved in evangelism and church growth. You can take the time to invest yourself in the lives of your family and friends that don't know Jesus. You can build relationships with folks and let them know that you care about them. And you can invite them to come to church to hear the message of the Gospel.

Of course, the best thing you can do is share the message of the Gospel yourself. Talk about how Jesus has changed your life, and what a difference He can make in theirs. Your personal testimony and a presentation of the Gospel are the most effective tools you have to lead somebody to a saving faith in Jesus.

Unfortunately, not everybody is comfortable doing this. In fact, statistics show that most church members have never shared their faith with anyone. Well, I want to see every member of EFBC be involved in soul-winning! The Invest And Invite strategy allows everyone to be a part. Just look at Andrew in the Bible. Every time you see him, he's bringing someone to Jesus! And when you bring someone to church with you, you're bringing them to the body of Christ here on this earth. Just like Andrew did!

The next two Sundays will be a perfect time to put the Invest And Invite strategy into action. This Sunday morning, Koy will be preaching an evangelistic message entitled Seven People Headed For Hell. If you know somebody who needs Jesus, do your best to GET THEM HERE this Sunday!

Next Sunday, October 31st will be our Harvest Of Fun day. I'll be preaching another evangelistic message that day, and I'm praying for a HUGE crowd. What a great time to invite somebody for church: Worship, followed by lunch, followed by a fall festival. Do your best to GET THEM HERE, and not just for the Harvest Of Fun, but for church that morning, as well.

Opportunities are everywhere! Seize the day! The best is yet to come!!!
