Outreach Lesson from our Children
Each week, I walk downstairs into the Seed kids area to collect the prayer requests from our children. This week, I encountered this drawing on the white board. It made me stop and marvel at the faith of our children and their heart for their neighbors. Don’t miss the message that accompanies the invitation to come and play. One of the stick figures is proclaiming, “Jesus is real!” For our children, outreach is simple and lacking inhibition. For them outreach is full of love as they speak the name of Jesus to their neighbors.
This week we will trunk-r-treat for the community. I invite you to come and practice this lesson for adults that comes from our children! We are not celebrating Halloween. We are using Halloween to speak the name of Jesus and inviting our community to come and “play.” Each trunk r treater will receive a map to Upper Room Church NW who is also doing a trunk r treat event. Included with that map is an invitation to our services at Seed, and an explanation of the Gospel. Now, passing out a tract does not get us off the hook. We want to say the name of Jesus out loud! Lets begin to pray for opportunities to share the Gospel and tell people that “Jesus is real!”
At that time the disciples came to Jesus, saying, “Who is the greatest in the kingdom of heaven?” And calling to him a child, he put him in the midst of them and said, “Truly, I say to you, unless you turn and become like children, you will never enter the kingdom of heaven. Matt 18:1-3
