THE JOURNEY OF SEVEN LEVELS

WHAT IF EVANGELISM COULD BE ONGOING?

WHAT IF IT COULD HAPPEN IN OFFICES, WORKSHOPS, UNIVERSITIES, SCHOOLS, HOMES AND SPORTING CLUBS?

When you hear the word 'evangelism', what do you think of? Traditionally some think of a campaign in a church building or community hall. An intense effort for a time. Sales techniques. An 'expert' evangelist in a certain mould, appealing to a certain type of person. Usually not a local person. This approach has worked in the past, but what if evangelism could be ongoing? What if it could happen in offices, workshops, universities, schools, homes and sporting clubs? What if it was happening every week? What if every church member was doing it in their own style, in a way that appealed to their type of person? What if it was adapted to local culture? What if it was personal and real and natural, nothing like pyramid sales?

This is the thinking behind the LIFEdevelopment process.
Your mission (and you should choose to accept it!) is:

1. "Get Connected"
      My diary:

After the talk about LIFEdevelopment.info at church this week, I thought I should pray for Tom, the person at work I get on with best. On Tuesday night I invited him to play tennis. We had a long, hard-fought three-set match, and both enjoyed it. Afterwards he suggested we go to the pub. (I thought that might happen, and I had decided Jesus was the friend of sinners and I have no temptation towards drinking, so I should go.) I ordered orange juice without making a big deal about it. He said, 'You don't drink?' I said, 'No'. He said, 'Probably all the healthier for it – that might be why you beat me', and the conversation moved on. I don't think he knows I'm a Christian yet, but I'll let that come up naturally. We intend to play each week.
