What does that look like? We go to where people, loved ones, neighbors, are in life – emotionally, and spiritually in their physical locale. We enter their lives. We build relationships. We genuinely care about them and their eternal destiny. Our aim should be to introduce them to Jesus. So when Jesus gives us His invitation to “Come! Follow Me,” we can take up our cross and follow Him.

The Challenge – Part II
