Who is My Neighbor?
How well do you know your neighbors? Do you want them to know Jesus and be his disciples?
The Thresholds of Evangelization give us a mental framework to approach our neighbors and to engage them in conversations about faith, but at the level they are comfortable with.
Today, I want to share with you a conversation that I had with some old friends. Aaron and Brooke Keller have committed themselves to not only making friends with their neighbors but to bringing Jesus into the lives of their neighbors.
And, I promise, they aren’t weird!
To hear insights from these good neighbors…
