New Direction

Need some new direction for you ministry?
Find a quiet moment and a peaceful place and bring a pen and pad with you.
Now write down four families that you are close to that are in your ministry and write down four families that you don't know that well that may be struggling.

Pray over these families//
Now consider what these families would look like if they were in a relationship with God all as individuals and as a family unit. How would their lives be different?//
Lastly, ask God how He wants to take them there? What steps can you take to get these families more engaged in their relationship with Christ and living their life to the fullest?

Be patient. You love these families and desire to see them flourish in a relationship with Christ but guess what? He wants to see that happen even more than you. So pray, and ask God how he can use you to help them look to Him,  He may not answer immediately but continue to dream and pray and remember He wants this too!

Write down all your brainstorming ideas and continue to pray over them.
parent small group/ mom & kids day/ visit kids in their lunch room/ attend a soccer game for the kids/ have a family over for dinner/

I am praying that God, the one that created everything under the sun, would give you some creative ideas about building relationships with your churches families and their relationship with God!

Love and all the best,
Ashley
