What an encouraging, worthwhile and, I beleive, valuable exercise Saturday's Treasure Hunt was.
Thank you so much Andrew, for motivating me and others to participate. A thank you to Kevin Dedmon and his simple, easy-to-follow guide is in order to!
Any form of evangelism is:
+ Stepping out in faith
+ Taking risks for GOD
+ Trusting the HOLY SPIRIT
+ Extending love without strings
+ Experiencing community
For me, the Treasure Hunt approach adds an extra dimension of TRUST - that the 'clues' you are getting truly ARE from Our Lord.
On Saturday, finding the person on my map was secondary to just being 'Church out there'. The map was both a welcome ice-breaker and a 'safety net'.
I was encouraged by the positive reception I got from the person to whom I declared GOD's love. I give thanks to Our Lord for 'giving me' someone so warm and approachable and to the Holy Spirit for whispering in my ear ;)
