Hey our friend

We hope you had a wonderful week. Last Monday we had a barbecue with our YWAM Family for Memorial Day. It was a wonderful time to catch up with everyone. On Tuesday our Summer Interns arrived. Please keep them in your prayers during this summer. Some of them will help with the work of the boys and girls club and other things in the neighborhood. During the week we had great opportunities to invest into the lives of many different people through the different giftings God has given us. It is always so humbling and wonderful to see how God is using our lives to bring hope and change to his children. We love it!!

Ask the right questions Week 7

Wow its already week 7 in our series and time is flying by quickly. Today we want to talk about the right question. A big part of the groups is to make our new friends think about God and help them to understand His love for them. But how do we stir the conversation towards God without making it awkward for the new friends? We need to ask the right questions. Questions that make people think and that really connect with them. If you look at how Jesus approached people you will see that it was often through a question as well. It always opened a door into the lives of people and it brought them into a place that they had to respond. Those questions can serve 2 purposes: 1. They open up the Conversation to talk more about God. 2. They connect us in a deeper way and give us better understanding of the new friends because they bring more depth into the relationship.

Here are some example questions that one of our Pastors is using.
Who has inspired you most in life and what have you learned?
Have you ever experienced a miracle in your life or did you feel god try to communicate with you?
If you could ask god any question what would it be?

So these are just examples but find the ones that are fitting in your situation. Think about questions that are not threatening to people but in the same way questions that are strong enough to make them think. Every time you try to come up with questions just pray and ask God to guide you since he always knows the best questions. Try it out during this week and see what happens.

Have a blessed week
