Share the Truth & Love of Jesus
When you have met the physical needs of a person during your response, take a minute to pause, pray, and plant a seed.
Pause, Pray, Plant a Seed
What would the body of Christ be if we met a person’s physical needs, but ignored their eternally significant spiritual needs?
This does not need to be an ambush or an argument, just genuinely sharing faith, hope, and love.
Pause
Take a step back. Listen to the person you are assisting. What would make them feel supported and seen during this time?
Pray
Take a moment to pray. It is always a good idea to ask for permission first. Pray for the peace of God to wash over them. Pray for protection & provision. Pray that the person will experience God in very personal ways.
Plant a Seed
Be available for the person to talk to you. If they have questions or want to discuss faith further, take that opportunity. If the person is already a believer, encourage him or her and be open for discussion.
