Door-to-Door Visiting
One area we work in, is visiting people at their
homes.
Jesus sent his disciples out, two by two, to go ahead of him to
preach the good news. And Paul tells us in Acts 20:20-21, "I have
not hesitated to preach anything that would be helpful to you, but
have taught you publicly, and from house to house." It's a
biblical principle.
It might seem strange, and you might think, well, such-and-such a
sect does that. Yes, OK, they've misunderstood the message; but
they're doing what Jesus wants us to do. We have a clear message
from God, through the Bible, to go out where people are.
The church so often says "Come"; but Jesus said, "GO."
You might worry about what people might say to you. But over many years
and knocking on well over a thousand doors, only 2 people were rude.
We have an easy approach that doesn't threaten people, and they can
stop the discussion at any time.
Does it work? Yes. It is a real joy when the Holy Spirit draws
someone close to Jesus, and we see the person give their life to
Jesus Christ, right there on the doorstep. It's the Lord's doing,
not ours.
