Live Missionally in 8 easy steps

Wow… Jon Dodson posted these over at theResurgence and I couldn’t help but pass them on.
- Eat with Non-Christians – nothing says community like a meal shared, and nothing will preach more loudly than giving your time to be with them.
- Walk, Don’t Drive — get out your car and be where people are. Walking is good for heart AND soul.
- Be a Regular – This might require firing your favorite Christian hair stylist or waitress in favor of ministering the gospel some place else. O, booo…
- Hobby with Non-Christians — What? Do something other than read your bible? Gasp! I recommend hiking. Demonstrate a love for the amazing playground that God has made for us, and take opportunities to tell them about it.
- Talk to Your Co-workers -- seriously. They won’t bite… hard.
- Volunteer with Non-Profits — Preferably Non-Christian ones. Food banks, pantries and shelters are a great place to meet people who need to know that God loves them and desires to see them whole again. My wife and I help out at the Oregon Food Bank every other week and we love it. Wouldn’t miss it.
- Participate in City Events — It’s a big world out there kids. Start seeing it in your own backyard.
- Serve Your Neighbors – See a neighbor with a need? Help out! Seriously… mow a lawn, help build a fence, change some oil… whatever. So let your LIGHT shine…
