Even a pastor living a pray-care-share lifestyle can have trouble meeting his neighbors! Be encouraged by this great story from one of our LOVE2020 partners, Evangelicals for Social Action in Fresno, Calif.
Pastor Tyrone came to one of our luncheons and mentioned that he was having a tough time meeting his neighbors - people in his neighborhood were basically keeping to themselves. Another guest at the luncheon mentioned that he had simply started to wave to people on his block. So Pastor Tyrone started waving to his neighbors.
“As I began to do that and to pray, God began to open doors,” Tyrone reported. "I have a neighbor who lives across the street from me, he had a death in his family, and I was able to pray for him and to take him out to breakfast, and we have bonded."
It doesn’t have to be complicated! A simple wave can be a chance to show the love of God to a neighbor. Just pray, care and share and see what God does. It may only take a wave…
Ephesians 2:12 describes non-believers as "...without hope and without God in the world." Colossians 1:27 describes Christians as having "... Christ in you, the hope of glory.” It’s time to share our hope with others!

He never sent His disciples out alone; He taught them the importance of scattering in groups of two or more to minister and gathering back together to share and celebrate what God had done in and through them.
The Great Commission was meant to be accomplished together; with each person praying, caring for others and sharing the Good News of Jesus with every person on earth until Christ's return. Continue >>>
