"Christ's method alone will give true success in reaching the people. The Savior mingled with men as one who desired their good. He showed His sympathy for them, ministered to their needs, and won their confidence. Then He bade them, 'Follow Me'". MH 143:3 By now you have accumulated much knowledge in accessing the Internet. Use this knowledge now. How about planning a ministry / community project you actually would like to do?!?   Suggested Steps: Check with the Lord in prayer what He would like you to do State in a sentence or two what you would like to accomplish If you can - give it a name Think of the steps you need to take Be aware of money you need to have A good idea would be who is living in your city you would like to reach for Jesus Support your findings with some statistics and government documents If there are immigrants, would you consider learning their language - in the process you could tell them about Christ this ministry will be a lot of fun!!! I like to have my projects checked with about two or three friends and get their opinion = you probably want to do the same Kneel in prayer and lay the project in front of you - our pioneers did this! It would be very helpful if you were choosing a Bible promise to guide in the ministry What are you waiting for? Start right now! Praise the Lord.   Sample: Locating Demographics for City Evangelism = Charlotte, NC
