Need a bit of help in thinking of more substantial ways in which you, or your share group, might be able to do some kind of outreach into the areas around the community?Then you have come to the right place. This space will have ideas about things you can do to touch the lives of other people around you with the love of Jesus Christ.
Here are a couple outreach tools to help get you started.
1.) Who doesn't like flowers in the spring? Buy some inexpensive flower seeds and place a lable on the back with the church address, phone number, website address, and service times. Give the packets away to people at the mall, a local restaurant, or shopping center as an invitation to grow, both in the garden and in their relationship with God.
2.) Have you ever had to pay a fine at the local Library? How do you think you would have felt if the fine had already been paid? For this outreach idea, go to the local library and tell the librarian that you would like to pay for the next $5.00 in fines that would be charged to library patrons. Tell the librarian that if people ask about who paid the fine for them that you will be sitting in a location in the Library if someone wants to talk to you. This is a great opportunity to talk to someone about another payment that was made on their behalf. The payment for their sins through the death and resurrection of Jesus Christ.
If you have other ideas you would like to suggest be sure to post them on the "Stories From The Street" page on this site.
