Invest and Invite

You heard invite and invest many times here but last night it was brought out in a new light. (Thanks Mickey) Let me explain. We were attending 722 at Buckhead Church to hear Charlie Hall. They also had Dan Kimball there to speak. Dan shared about his book, They Like Jesus but Not the Church. This goes along with the book Unchristian that we read last fall. Anyway we were challenged to invest in nonchristian people daily. Dan used an example from his findings one night in Atlanta. He went to a Karaoke Bar to find some folks to share what they thought about Jesus and then Christians. Two different views from the same folks was comman. They like Jesus but have problems liking christians. He also inquired if they new about Buckhead Church. The church was less than a mile from this place and all interviewed didn't have a clue.

If they didn't know where that BIG church was I know our local folks can not find Fellowship. We put out signs and this is a great help, we run ads on Tv and in the paper and this helps. When you invest and invite this is the greatest opportuniy for nonchristians to find Fellowship Church.

Example: Missy has been investing in a friend. They made an entry Halloween by participating in trunk or treat. This last Sunday they came unannounced. Loved it and are comimng back with more!
Do ya get it?
Invest and invite.
