BLESS CHALLENGE

Let's talk about what BLESS means. BLESS is an easy-to-remember acronym that makes reaching others for Christ a bit more simple. The BLESS Challenge is a monthly challenge with practical ideas to help us move down the BLESS path.
‍

B - Begin with prayer. Pray and ask God to open doors and provide opportunities to begin forming relationships with your neighbors.
L - Listen. Listen to their stories, learn more about them, and work at building connections.
E - Eat. Share a meal with your neighbors. We all can think of a time someone made us feel welcomed and valued, simply by providing dinner.
S - Serve. Maybe you've heard the phrase, "See a need, meet a need." Make a habit of noticing your neighbors needs and helping where you can.
S - Share your story. After putting in the leg work to build a relationship, now is the time to share what God has done in your life and what Jesus means to you.
‍

While impacting others with the Gospel doesn't always follow a nice, linear path, leading others to Christ doesn't need to be complicated. We like to use BLESS as a place to start.
