Idea Starter: Run for Charity

Help with a local fun run or 5K. Either plan one around your town, with entry fees going to charity, or show your support to runners at a non-church-affiliated run by wearing church T-shirts and passing out water or snacks to runners and cheering them to the finish.

Kindness isn’t weakness, it’s the expression of strength from someone who has something to offer. Kindness is not automatic, it’s a gift that you must choose to give.

Evangelism and the Privatization of Faith

Make friends, in your own way, and avoid isolating yourself—be open to show and share the love of God.
