A Challenge from our Pastor
Wow! I am so encouraged at the response to the Walk by our Sunday school classes. People are stepping up and making some really exciting contacts. Keep up the good work and I know God will reward our efforts. Some have asked about more prospects. This may sound funny, but prospects rarely walk in the door (some do, of course). But I have a secret, please keep this quiet. “The people in your class already know new prospects.” Seriously, your friends, relatives, associates, and neighbors are all prospects!
Our Pastor is challenging our Sunday school classes to double by December. No, that is not a misprint. Bro. Harold began sharing with his class a desire to see it double and he shared with me his desire to see our entire Sunday school double. Of course, this is no easy task, but it think with me for a moment. Is it impossible? In our own strength, yes; but with God anything is possible! What would it take to double your class? The answer is quite simple and surprising. Each class member reaches one person. When each one reaches one, your class will double! What will motivate our classes to double? Love! God’s love for us, displayed through the sacrifice of His son for our sins on the cross, should compel us to go, not only around the world, but also across the street.
