the report about Him was spreading

"Wise Up About Sharing Your Faith" {Prov11:30}
* Christ commands us to be His witnesses {Luke19:10; John17:18; Luke15:4-10}
* Make a list of names of people (school, work, club, family)
* Pray for their salvation {Rom10:1}
- That God would draw them to Himself {John6:44}
- That the Holy Spirit would convict them of sin {John16:7-8}
- That God would open their mind to understand the Gospel {Luke24:45; Acts16:14; Eph1:18}
* That God would somehow use you {Acts11:21}
- Saving people is God's business
- We have little role to be faithful in playing
* Raise the flag; in some casual way, identify with Christ
* Look for opportunity to meet a physical need in their life {Matt5:16; Jam2:16-17; Prov3:27-28; Titus3:1-2,8}
* Offer to pray for them -- "People want a God who is interested in their everyday lives."
* Work at becoming their friend; do something socially with them {Matt9:10-12; Matt11:19; Prov17:17}
* Invite them to special events at church

It would be cool it we could have emphasized on evangelism more this year, especially before the (what I still call) block party. I did like PJs message though.

Speaking of the block party...I think we should have a dunk tank and put you on it mwhahahaha.
