Connecting
As I was reading in Romans, I came to the last chapter and was touched by the people Paul names and greeted. How he spoke of men, women, couples and what they meant to him. How tender and sweet his words were as he salutes them.
Are we making any connections as we go into churches? Can we remember anyones name? Is there any type of relationship being developed? Can you recall anyone by name in a church you have been in recently? Guard yourself from being so focused on “support” that all a church becomes is a check once a month.
Yes, there may be churches where all you are is a certain amount of money they send you once a month. Though they are like that, does not mean you have to be. Establish relationships and connections. A good friend of mine, Austin Gardner, has been very good at this through email, blogs, twitter, facebook, etc. These things may drive me crazy but are a great tool for staying in contact with people.
A young missionary that does very well with keeping the churches he is in before people is Mark Tolson. Let me encourage you to go to projectchina.org and sign up for his blog.
As you go into your next meeting, see the people.
Praying for you,
Bro. Tony
