Throughout today I have appointments with people from groups we want to connect with better. This morning, for example, we were working out how better to engage with schools in our area. This afternoon it's an employment agency and a mental health worker who may be able to provide training for our staff.
This is the bigger scale stuff. While it's going to be beneficial to our mission if any of them 'get off the ground', I'm still convinced that a lot of our best efforts are one-on-one. Last night for example we were able to deliver some assistance to a man in our community freshly out of hospital. We also met a young man who had walked from Outer Harbour to Marion to speak to someone - he's looking for community and some living skills, and we can help with both.
Take every chance you can to connect with people who come into your life. Speak the gospel into them, either thorugh actions or words.
