As one who has relationships with many "unchurched" people, I do agree that those relationships foster the opportunity to talk about Jesus and my beliefs. I want to be the conduit, and let the Holy Spirit work through me. Thanks for the article, and btw-the video is great Jeff. (A star is born....)

As I think of possibilities...maybe meeting with some of the established community organizations that work with the homeless and developing outreach to sw Houston. As the economy declines, more and more families are going to be struggling (probably some in our own church). I volunteered at BraesInterfaith for awhile a couple of years ago and I was amazed at the number of families with small children needing help. Certainly the Adopt a School program fits into this category and I am so proud of our great website but it is clear that more still needs to be done. It's a lot to think about.<BR/> KristyAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
