Being a Lighthouse is natural. It's
following Christ's example in praying and caring for the people around
you and in sharing with them and touching their lives with the kingdom
of God which you represent.
In
order to be saved people must somehow “hear” the good news. The
Apostle Paul asks:
|
And how can they believe in
the one of whom
they have not heard? -ROMANS 10:14 |
Do what you can to make sure that happens. Ask the Lord
to open a door of opportunity for you to personally present the gospel.
Give them a book or video that focuses on Christ, involve them in a
Bible study or take them to a church service or an evangelistic event
where they will hear a gospel message. Remember:
|
The gospel … is the
power of God for the salvation
of everyone who believes. -ROMANS 1:16 |
As you get to know your neighbors
and they begin to know and trust you as they begin to see prayer
requests answered in their lives, you have an open door to share the
gospel with them.
Be an Inviter
Invite them to something you know they enjoy doing, like
a sporting event, a craft show, etc. Invite them to a church
outreach service, evangelistic crusade, retreat or a Bible study/small
group.
The number one reason people say they don't go to church:
"I was not invited."
For Skeptics and Seekers
 To
assist in helping skeptics examine the compelling historical accuracy of
the Gospel and the logic of choosing to follow Christ, Turn ON the
Light-Bowie will have occasional small-group format showings and
discussions of the 72-minute THE CASE FOR CHRIST film by Lee Strobel.
 For
Christians interested in a worldview tour, which examines the biblical
worldviews of philosophy, science, labor, and government, there are
several small groups in Bowie hosting the 13-week TRUTH PROJECT.
Contact Al Goff to schedule either a special event or a
small group based on these resources for your church. Because of
license restrictions, the resources alone cannot be loaned to your
church.
Men & Women Events
Women, if their interest dictates it, take neighbors as
your guests to a Christian women's event like the
Women of Faith
conference coming in July. Men, invite men to a monthly church
men's ministry breakfast and the
CoBAMM Man on Fire conference scheduled
for November. Both men and women golfers are invited to our Turn
ON the Light-Bowie golf tournament coming up in April.
We invite you to browse and reference this website
for the lists of many sharing opportunities. If you need some
help, shoot us an email or give us a call. We are your Bowie
neighbors after all.
