Formula One

You might not be interested in racing cars, but have you thought how much team puts themselves through to get victory. From the design of the car, to inventing new technology, to planning the race and of course the pit stop crew, who can refuel the car and change all four tyres in under five seconds, quite amazing!

What if we approached reaching our community with the zeal of a formula one team? What if we got a few Christians together and said for one year, we’ll pray, clean up the streets, do up the gardens, love on our neighbours and when asked why, tell them we’re doing it because Jesus loves them. It might cost a bit of time and effort by as it says in Luke 19:10, ‘the Son of Man came to seek and save the lost’ (NIV). We’d just be playing our part in that process.

Quote

People become Christians when invited by others who are interested in them.

Prayer

Heavenly Father, help me find friends and come up with a plan to reach my community, Amen.

Action point

Reaching our communities will always take effort, get a group of Christian friends together and brainstorm what you could do over the course of a year.
