Reaching Out While Staying In

We are called to make disciples and seek the lost at all times, even during a crisis. But practically doing that is now a lot harder due to our working from home, social distancing, change in routines, kids out of school etc. Here a few ideas that you could do to be reaching out while staying in:

  • Pray for opportunities to share the gospel

  • Pray for people - ask people you know if they have any prayer requests. as they may be more open to it in a time of crisis

  • Invite people to join us online at www.sgparra.org.au/zoom

  • Letter box drop a card to your neighbours: https://www.thegospelcoalition.org/article/love-neighbor/

  • You can actually run Christianity Explored online for free: https://www.ceministries.org/Articles/493373/Courses/Christianity_Explored/Online.aspx

  • Post things on your social media about the peace and hope Jesus offers

  • Check in with work mates and colleagues to see how they are doing; a text of care that may have seemed weird or too forward now may communicate love and care.

  • Organize virtual play dates for kids to stay connected with their friends

What else can you think of? Let’s get creative! Our goal for our church: ‘To be a community where every believer is always on mission and doing mercy.’” Let’s do it!
