What is your definition of discipleship? What does it mean in Sioux County, IA in 2008? Does it mean reading the Bible, praying, going to church each Sunday and being involved in a small group? Is it being nice, volunteering at church and giving money? What exactly is it? Have you considered that if it isn’t something more than these things you might be wasting your time? I would even say that if that is all it is you are wasting your time.
What would you say?

Invitation
Hello people of Bridge of Hope (and anyone else who may be reading this). I am very excited about being the new Coordinator of Discipleship and Outreach. I look forward to getting to know you and hearing your stories. This is my invitation to you to stop by the office, e-mail or call me to schedule a time to sit down together. I would love to hear from you.
This is a blog that I will put out there every week or two. It will be about discipleship, outreach, church in general, humorous stories, random thoughts or anything else that may be on my mind. I am hoping to generate some lively discussions so please respond with your thoughts as well.
It would be quite boring if I write something that you have a positive or negative response to and I never get to hear it. It is through communicating and wrestling through things together that God gives us the opportunity to know and be known. It’s the only way that we can accomplish His command to “Love one another.”
So I’m begging you, please don’t keep your thoughts to yourself, put yourself out there as I will attempt to do, and maybe together we can figure out a thing or two along the way. I’m looking forward to it!
