Your gift will meet essential spiritual and physical needs of families torn by war.
Okay, so you’ve been praying. God has placed people on your heart who need to hear the gospel. Now how do you start that conversation?
Spend time exploring their stories and experiences. The first step is to start listening and asking good questions. As you build trust, your friends will become more open to sharing their struggles, their doubts, and the things they believe, or don’t believe, about God.
How well do we listen?
Being a good listener is one of the key qualities of a good friend. If you have experienced this, you know how incredibly powerful it is to experience being listened to and understood by a friend.
You can practice and improve in that kind of listening by remembering to:
Challenge: Ask one of your friends a “SomeTime …” question.
You can ask or say:
“Sometime I would enjoy hearing about your spiritual journey...would you be up for that?”
You are setting up a future meeting with them to have an authentic, meaningful conversation.
