Talking About Our Faith Unleashing words that fuel the soul
Missional is a popular word today. It implies that in our evangelism, we do more than simply throw the gospel at someone. Instead we look at our culture as if we were on the mission field and ask what we can do to connect with that culture and reach those around us. Our new six-session course "Missional Evangelism" does just that. This study will help you see that all places are mission fields and ...

What has been your experience with using small groups as an evangelistic tool?

We can't love our neighbors if we don't know them.
Sue Skalicky
I live in a great neighborhood! Our home is at the end of a cul-de-sac and, each year, we all get to know one another just a little bit better. We have attended each other's Pampered Chef™ and Tupperware™ parties. We have gathered for summer BBQ's and festive Christmas parties. We have seen grown children off to college, celebrated marriages, and formed search parties for lost pets. Most ...

For example, stationed in Iraq as a National Guard chaplain, my pastor is helping to organize "Operation Backpack," a project that will provide hundreds of Iraqi children with necessary school supplies and a special backpack to start the new school year. Yet, it is just not the ...
Share a movie with a friend who needs to share his or her life.
Sue Skalicky
Recently, I was invited to a movie by an unbeliever. Over the years, I have witnessed God's love to this young single mom and her two children through babysitting, shared meals, loaned cars, and most important, a listening ear. This particular night, however, she said she wanted to treat me to popcorn and a good movie. We went to see "Raising Helen" starring Kate Hudson and John Corbett. The movie ...
Give someone an opportunity to feel safe enough to take off his or her mask.

Last month, my fifteen-year-old daughter jumped in the car with me to deliver May Day baskets. If I didn't know C.J., I would have been caught off guard by the gray hair, old clothes, antique hat, and battle-ready purse that framed her beautiful wrinkle-free face. She had dressed up in order to fool our friends and even ended up turning heads on the ride across town. One young boy nearly fell off ...
Show a single mom you care and she may turn to your God.
Sue Skalicky
A few nights ago I received a phone call from a friend. Mandy, a 21-year-old single mom of a 20-month old daughter and an 8-month old son, breathed heavily into the phone, "Can you come get me?" I drove 10 miles west of town before I spotted the lights of the highway patrol parked behind Mandy's $75 car that was angrily spewing fluid into the air. We moved the hungry, tired babies into my car and ...
