Be Missional, Use Your Home

Doug Wolter writes well here on how to use your home to reach out to the lost:

"While churches continue to seek out the best “strategy” for reaching their communities for Christ, some have simply returned to the timeless tradition of opening their homes to others. No, it’s not flashy. And no, it’s not programmed. It’s just the most natural setting for proclaiming Christ to your friends and neighbors."

He points to some tips from Alexander Strauch:

  • Set a regular time each week/month to invite people to your home
  • Make a list of people who would be encouraged by your offer of hospitality
  • Remember to invite people to your home during holiday seasons — especially those who rarely receive an invitation and cannot repay you (Luke 14:13)
