“A simple strategy to share your faith”

How can you share the Gospel with people who haven’t heard it? Or have heard but haven’t trusted in Christ? The Gospel gives people hope and promises eternal life for those who accept Christ as their Savior. It’s an urgent message, and you can share it!

Take this 7-day challenge to reach those around you and point the way to everlasting life. You can do it alone, with a Christian friend or get your church group involved. Don’t wait. Start today!

Be intentional. List five or more people who don’t know Christ. This could be friends, family, neighbors or co-workers.

Pray. Pray for each person on your list. Pray that God will soften their hearts and open their minds to hear His voice, and that He will open doors for you to share what He’s done in your life.

Set a good example. How do you treat the people on your list? What does your Facebook status or choice of music say about you? Set a godly example by your kind spirit, gentle words and selfless actions.

Get personal. Invite them to visit PeaceWithGod.net, an interactive website that shares the Gospel in four simple steps. Email them, share it on Facebook or Twitter, or in person. Say something like, “Hey, check out this site. I found it encouraging and thought you might like it. Let me know what you think!” If the person you’re reaching struggles with a specific need or question, sharing one of these pages might be helpful.

Start a conversation. Follow up with the people on your list. Ask what they thought of the website. Refer them to KnowJesus.net if they want a personal mentor to answer questions about God or basics of Christianity, or to GoingFarther.net if they want to explore this on their own or grow spiritually.

Spread the word. Get your friends, family and church involved in the 7-day challenge to reach as many people as possible.

Don’t stop! Continue setting a godly example, praying and sharing the website with others. You can’t give people a heart for Christ, but you do have a responsibility to share God’s Word. God is with you and can use you in ways you never thought possible. Also consider volunteering with Search for Jesus to tell others about Christ online! We provide the training. Visit SearchforJesus.net.

“Therefore, my dear brothers and sisters, stand firm. Let nothing move you. Always give yourselves fully to the work of the Lord, because you know that your labor in the Lord is not in vain.” - 1 Corinthians 15:58

I just got back from our Church's High School Winter Camp and wanted to pass this along...

"HOW TO BE CONTENT IN A SOCIAL MEDIA WORLD" By Sarah Denham

POSITIVES:
1. You are able to communicate with people without being in their presence.
2. You are given a window into the lives of others with pictures and video.
3. You are able to communicate with anyone in the world who has access to the Internet.
4. You are able to rally people under common interests and causes (e.g. The Arab Spring utilized Facebook in helping rally people politically and around just causes.).
5. The church can use Facebook as a tool for Kingdom growth.
6. You are able to find people you once cared for and were close with and reconnect--(modern day phonebook).

NEGATIVES:
1. Fuels the "comparing game" that breeds insecurity and depression.
2. By nature it is exaggerative and self promoting.
3. Cultivates a pre-occupation with trivialities.
4. Expends energy on "cyberspace" not "physical space" (which is essential to genuine companionship on a human level).
5. Fuels the anxiety called F.O.M.O. = Fear.Of.Missing.Out!

PERSONAL PERSPECTIVES:
1. I want you to know that you are not alone in experiencing unhealthy feelings associated with "Social Networking". It's common that jealousy, depression and anxiety result from activity on "Social Networks."
2. I want you to understand that there is an addictive and serious downside to being on Social Networks.
3. I want you to understand that we all have a need for companionship, friendship, communication and community --and that our deepest needs in these areas will not be fulfilled in "Cyberspace!"
4. I want you to understand that as popular as Social Networks are, there is good reason to unplug and replace!
5. I want you to learn to be content in Christ!

The key to contentment is two-fold: it's based on who you know (the Lord Jesus) and how you think.
"God designed the human machine to run on Himself. He Himself is the fuel our spirits were designed to burn, or the food our spirits were designed to feed on. There is no other. That is why it is just no good asking God to make us happy in our own way without bothering about faith. God cannot give us a happiness and peace apart from Himself, because it is not there. There is no such thing."
(C.S. Lewis)

"Learning to be content requires putting gratitude in your attitude, not comparing yourself with others, but being thankful for what God has given you and doing something with what God has given you!"
