We finished our sermon series..."So, now what?", where we looked at what it means to live passionately, love completely, learn humbly and leave boldly.  So, now what is next?  Well, we are tackleing the big "E" word.  Evangelism.  It's just not for someone, but for everyone.  It can be scary, but it shouldn't be.  Part of the problem is, evangelism has been so program oriented, that we have left out the most important aspect, relationship!

It takes a genuine and authentic (to use buzz words) relationships with people before they will be open to you.  AND even then, it is all about letting them take the lead in opening the discussion regarding your faith.  Once they have opened the door, them proceed with sharing, but with diligence!  Don't open up the flood gates and dump all you have built up inside you, you may end up drowning them, instead of offering them the drink from the living water they so despartely need.

More to come on this subject, but let me leave you with this.   Jesus commanded us to do just this, preach, teach and reach.  It's just not for someone, but for everyone!
