In developing a personal strategy for reaching people for Christ, where do you start? In every direction you look there are people far away from God and in desperate need of the Savior. The task can seem overwhelming.
May I suggest a good place for all of us to start? We all have networks of neighbors and friends that include people who do not know the Lord. Identify one or two within your networks. Work on developing a deeper and more meaningful friendship. Have them into your home. Take them out to eat or to other activities. Demonstrate true care for them as an individual. In the course of your relationship with them, look for opportunities to share your story of God's grace in you life. Evangelism is not just an event, it is a process of influencing people with the Gospel.
Who do you know who needs to know Jesus? Start to pray for them daily. Take the initiative in being a better neighbor and friend. Look for the open doors and opportune times to share with them your faith.
