Telling Your Story: An Opportunity to BLESS Others

Telling Your Story: An Opportunity to BLESS Others

Have you made your list and are you praying for those 3-5 people in your circle?

Often the first 4 steps seem the easiest … who cannot Begin with prayer? Listen with care? Eat together? Serve someone else? Often people learn to do those things intuitively.

But the big step 5 S, sharing your story becomes intimidating.

On January 18 or 19, you can gain experience in learning how to do this in a natural and authentic way. John Becker and Joe Handley will teach us, making it fun and memorable.

WHEN: Saturday, January 18, 10am-12pm OR Sunday, January 19, 12-2pm
WHERE: Fellowship Center

Why should you want to share your story like this?

John Becker says,
“Your story within God’s story is your perfect opportunity to share the Good News of Jesus with your relational network. How he uniquely created you, called you, and gave you a new purpose is the story you must share! Let us learn how to share this together.”

Joe Handley adds Jesus’ reminder,
“You are the light of the world (Matthew 5:14.) The world is desperate for you to shine! Your story lights the planet.”
