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.
