3 Things You Can Do Right Away
In his attempt to evangelize in an unchurched area, Peyton ended up with a busted face and a permanent scar. Through his journey of starting a church in a Starbucks, working with small groups and nurturing relationships, he found his passion to plant churches.
- Have honest conversations. It wasn’t until Peyton started having honest conversations with the people he worked alongside when evangelizing made a difference. Take time to develop relationships with people because talking about Christ can make others feel vulnerable. Find common ground and make it personal. Know people and actually know their stories.
- Encourage an interactive community. Everything that this generation is doing is interactive. Everything they do involves multiple community experiences. (Take Pokemon Go, for example.) The one place in the world where people are told to come in, sit down and listen (the church), is turning people away. So, empower your small groups to do more, reach others and have an open dialogue. The church should be the safest place for any conversation to happen. Create that environment, and welcome it.
- Prepare for it to be difficult. “Why plant a church when you can hit yourself over the head with a hammer?” Peyton jokes. It’s the hardest thing you’ll do in ministry, yet it’s the easiest because if God’s in it, you’ll find it rewarding and fulfilling.
