We had a great outreach night last night. I had an opportunity to pray along with 3 other men for those people who might be visiting our church in the near future. We also prayed for those who had recently visited. We are not doing a very good job of taking advantage of the opportunities that God places before us in witnessing, sharing with others, and simply being good hosts and hostesses for the Lord. When someone visits FBC O'Fallon or the College Church we need to follow up and make contact with that person. Not because we are concerned about the growth of our church, but because the Lord has provided us with this opportunity to talk about Him to someone we have only lknown for a short while. This might be the only opportunity that person will have to hear about Jesus, and our only opportunity to share Christ with that person, and for us not to share is pure selfishness.
The other thing we prayed for was that the Lord will raise up teachers in the church who will pasionately serve Him. We need to have committed leaders who intimately know the Lord who are willing to share their faith with others.
Lord help me to do a better job of presenting you to others.
