The Gospel in 2 Minutes, Practical Ways to Share Your Faith, Ecuador Mission Team (Pastoral Emphasis for 7/8)

Please keep the family of Sis. Alice Shorts in your prayers. We had her homegoing service on yesterday. Often churches measure their "success" by the number of new members and baptisms. That's good, but a better measurement might be the number of faithful saints buried who still professed and trusted in Christ. That is a great testament to the faithful of our God and a church's fidelity to preaching the Gospel and making disciples.

Next Radical Love project is Witness to Thy Neighbor. For the next quarter, the challenge is to intentionally share the Gospel with at least 1 person. It's important for us to know the Gospel so that we can share it. Even if you have to sing it or rap it, share the Gospel.

BTW, Trip Lee is coming to Raleigh on 7/22. Get your tickets here!

Here are some practical things to help you share your faith:

Let people around you know you are a Christian (in a natural, unforced way)
Ask friends and neighbor about their faith – and just listen!
Listen to your friends' and neighbors' problems – maybe offer to pray for them
Share your problems with others – testify to how your faith helps you
Give them the Story booklet (pick up copies at the Welcome Center)
Invite them to a church event or Bible Study and talk about it afterwards
Host a prayer or Bible Study group in your home

It's almost time for our Ecuador Mission Trip. Our team from Mt. Zion (My wife and I, Minister Kevin Coppage, Deacon Matt Darby, Jr. Deacon Derrick Wiggins) will be going with Cary COG and other churches from 7/15 to 7/23. Pray for us and all of the missionaries that God would use us to spread the Gospel and share His love with the Ecuadorians.

Its vacation time and giving dips during the summer months but our bills do not stop. Your generous giving is extremely important for us. If our members can continue to give at least 5% or more above your normal giving, it will help us meet our budget. Thanks to all who sacrifice to give more.
