Reaching People Where They Live

In a disastrous church fire, a beautiful painting of Christ was endangered. Two men went inside and rescued it. People came and watched the fire, but stayed long after to look at the painting. The church leaders were amazed because people had never before been interested in the painting, which had hung for years in the church. Finally one man explained, “When the church caught fire and moved Christ into the streets where people could see Him, they were interested.”

The Lord wants us to reach out to friends, family, co-workers, and everyone we meet with the Gospel!
