Summary: We may not think of our church as a place of personal evangelism. But it is. Not everyone attending church is a believer. We need to be keenly aware that many people attend church looking for acceptance and for hope. I once heard a story about evangelism in a congregation. Dale was struggling through a divorce, substance abuse and homelessness and decided to visit the church one Sunday morning. Another man noticed him, and introduced himself. After just a few moments they had plans to have a meal together that night. Eventually this friendship led to Dale receiving a job near the church. Dale then attended as many Bible studies as he possibly could. In time, Dale received Jesus Christ as His Savior. Through the kindness and boldness of that one man in the congregation, Dales’ whole life was transformed. As you attend church this week, keep an ear and an eye open to what’s happening in the room. Who is hurting? Who has a tangible need that you could meet? Reaching our world can be as simple as being a light in the darkness.
