JOHN


Good Morning! I’m John Branning the Lead Pastor of
Central United Methodist Church. I am always asked by
individuals what do we need to do to see our church grow. I
believe that when it comes to reaching new people for
Christ,  it is important that we realize that not everyone is
where we are in our life and walk with Christ.

We have to be intentional in how and when we approach
people for gospel. If we are to have influence with those
who are marginal when it comes to faith or do not claim one
at all, then we have to have a genuine love and concern for
them. People know when you care or when you just carry
an agenda. Once we have influence in a person’s life, then
we can begin to share our story and then to hear their story.
In the sharing and the hearing, we must believe that God is
at work. Let me encourage you today to reach out to
someone new and make a friend that opens the door to
sharing the good news.
