Consider this: our largest group meeting has only been 9. The cost for meeting inside of Starbuck's week: $2.12 for a cup of coffee. The cost for teaching materials: $0.00. We simply read the Bible. The amount of money spent of marketing, connections, etc.: $0.00 We use social media (Facebook & text messaging) and good ol' fashion "word of mouth." There have been no hand outs, no video clips, no weird illustrations or social programs. We just get together and READ the BIBLE and SEEK JESUS - that's it! And you know what?...He always shows up in power and confidence.
American Christians: Stop chasing fads and trying to 'woo' people into the church and/or a relationship with Jesus. THAT IS NOT YOUR JOB! Your job is to love the Lord and be contagious in your love and pursuit of Him. He is lovely and sufficient enough to win people to Himself. All we need to do is allow Him to be revealed.
