Imagine uses a relational web to reach our community. What is a relational web? It is our methodology to reach people for Christ that already exists within our sphere of influence. We all have relationships at work, friends, and family that we do life with, but some of them do not yet have a relationship with Christ. Sometimes we ask someone to go to church, but then we never see the person again, but when you use your natural sphere of influence, you will see that person again and again, and it allows a greater chance for you to reach them. It is more difficult to ask someone to come to church when we don’t have the relational credibility to ask. For example, it would be hard to ask someone to borrow money from someone you barely know, and more importantly they will be less likely to give to you if you don’t have a relationship with them. We need to use the natural relationships that we already have. Bringing them to church puts them in a healthy environment, and something that is healthy grows!If one person decided to reach three people through their relationships, and those three people reached three, and so on, doing this ten times would reach 29, 524 people in all….That’s a lot of lives changed for Christ!
