Time out!
A busy leader decides to change his priorities. |
Doug had been so busy participating in Christian events such as Bible studies, prayer meetings and worship times, that he did not have time for anything else, especially hanging out with his non-believing friends. He went to four worship services and three Bible studies a week.
So Doug took the challenge to cut back and set aside time each week to spend with his non-Christian friends. Doug discovered the excitement of relational evangelism. He has found more joy leading a GIG (a seeker Bible study) than he ever received from four services.
Doug had invited one of his friends to many Christian events before. That friend always declined. After Doug started spending time with this friend, a GIG started up which his friend is part of. Now Doug understands that the key to relational evangelism is relationships!
