The people of Grace
We are all in ministry – part of following Jesus is helping others follow Jesus. Living the gospel in front of friends, relatives, associates, and neighbors (FRAN) is the way each one of us points people to God. Let it be the outflow of your confidence in the One who called you out of darkness into his marvelous light, and satisfaction from feasting at the banquet table of his goodness, grace and steadfast love. May you follow the Spirit’s promptings to pour into relationships, conversations, and acts of service.
Care Groups
A care group is a community – a natural means of hospitality. While some care groups are outreach-focused (W-S Rescue Mission, Grace to Go), inviting FRAN to your care group would be a welcoming way to show the love of Christ between brothers and sisters in Christ, and to those who are not in the family (yet). It is a gracious way to be a bridge into the community of faith.
Grace Counseling Ministry
From the beginning the counseling ministry was envisioned not only as a ministry of helping people in the church to address the matters of life through the lens of godly, biblical counsel, but as a means of outreach into the community. Over 60 percent of those receiving counsel from GCM are from outside the church. The fruit and the harvest are already there. Make known to FRAN that this ministry is available.
Delight in Grace Radio Ministry
Starting October 3rd, the teaching ministry of Grace Bible Church will air on WTRU (97.7) at 10:00 a.m. There are about 200,000 people in the Triad who listen to Christian radio, and approximately 40 percent of them are unchurched. Our message presents a regular theme of not only being saved by grace but living by grace. God has graciously provided for this ministry to be fully funded through 2023. Prayerfully think of FRAN you may invite to listen the message of grace – this could be great fodder for conversation.
Published Book
My book, 7 WORDS that can CHANGE YOUR LIFE (Xulon Press), practically mines the depths of God’s saving and life-transforming grace. This book is on track to be published and available by the end of October. When it comes off the press, I encourage you to use it for outreach – hand out copies, encourage people on social media to read it, or invite FRAN to an outreach Bible study with it.
