Engage Somebody

There are over 200 references in the Bible DIRECTLY relating to witnessing and sharing the Gospel – I’m guessing that means this must be pretty important to God.

Mark 16:15

15 He said to them, "Go into all the world and preach the good news to all creation.

For most of us our journey to become a Christian was, although unique to who we are, similar in that it usually came down to a somebody we met or who impacted OUR WORLD.

For some it was a MOMENT, for others it was a long JOURNEY, but for nearly all of us there was a SOMEBODY?

Somebody Engaged you & you became a Christ Follower... now you are to be the Somebody for someone else. Make the choice to Engage. You don't need a degree, you don't need to wait for some mystical moment, you just GO into YOUR world and be available, then when God sets up the opportunity step up and see what happens. Sometimes our greatest witness is not what we say but rather than we are there to listen.

Life’s great moments evolve from simple acts of cooperation with God’s mysterious promptings – nudges that always lean toward finding what has been lost & freeing what has been enslaved.
