B.L.E.S.S.

As we love our neighbors, we intentionally seek opportunities to share the love of Christ. To B.L.E.S.S. someone is to do this in ways that communicate the Gospel in deeds and words.

Who are the 5 people God has placed in your life that He wants you to B.L.E.S.S.?

We believe that God uses each one of us in our daily lives to spread His good news. Here are the ways that we seek to help others come to know Jesus through our personal lives.

B: BEGIN WITH PRAYER

Prayerfully identify five people that God has already placed in your life who don’t yet know Christ. Then pray for their openness to God. Ask God, “Please open doors so that I can share Your love with them.”

L: LISTEN WITH CARE

Before you share anything about your faith, listen to their story and get to know them. Listen especially for evidence of God’s work in their lives, so that you can participate in the work God is already doing. Pay special attention to people’s dreams and pain. These can be doors to deeper conversations and a deeper relationship.

E: EAT TOGETHER

Seek opportunities to share a meal or coffee with those you’re praying for. Use the meal time to build a deeper relationship and continue listening.

S: SERVE WITH LOVE

As you build a friendship, you will discover meaningful opportunities to care for your friends and their needs. Serve them so they can experience the love of Christ tangibly.

S: SHARE YOUR STORY

Once you build a sufficient relationship and earned their trust, look for ways you can share how you began following Jesus and how He is transforming your life. Invite them to meet your church friends and participate in the PCC community (at an event, a worship service, or small group).
