Outreach: Spiritual Practices for Everyday Life Paperback - 2014

From the rear cover

"Trying to do the Lord's work in your own strength is the most confusing, exhausting, and tedious of all work. But when you are filled with the Holy Spirit then the ministry of Jesus just flows out of you."
- Corrie ten Boom
We were born to communicate. We smile and grimace, shrug and laugh and cry. We want to be understood, and we long to proclaim what matters to us. So why do we sometimes struggle with the command to "go and make disciples of all nations?" As Jesus' followers we have so much to share and so many ways to express our faith. Yet we don't always have the confidence and ability to do this.
Within this study guide you'll find relevant tools and encouragement to help you understand the spiritual practice of outreach. We'll look at how true outreach is really an outpouring of the love and joy we know in Christ. It's about listening, speaking, moving, and sharing what's most important to us with others.
The purpose of this study guide series is to help you use spiritual practices to make your own life richer, fuller, and deeper. It can be used as a "stand alone" Bible study guide for groups or individual use, or as a companion alongside the Everyday Matters Bible for Women. The practices are Acceptance, Bible Study & Meditation, Celebration, Community, Confession, Contemplation, Faith, Fasting, Forgiveness, Gratitude, Hospitality, Justice, Mentoring, Outreach, Prayer, Reconciliation, Sabbath & Rest, Service, Silence, Simplicity, Solitude, Stewardship, Submission, and Worship.
