We too are often surprised that He can use us. We are amazed when someone comes to Christ through our time with them. But that is what we are here to do, we are here to go out among the lost and share with them. It is through being obedient to this great command of Jesus that we recognize His power and we grow in faith and passion for Him. May we not think we are doing something bold and crazy by sharing our faith, but recognize we are simply being obedient.

March 4, 2010 Reading - Lk 10:1-24
This is a cool story. Jesus sends out 72 disciples two-by-two into the regions where He was about to go so they could share the message of the kingdom of God. He sends them out with nothing! No food, no extra clothes, no weapons to protect themselves from wild animals or people. And when they return they are amazed that their mission actually worked! They were amazed at the power they had through Jesus' name.

We find in our Welcoming Ministry that many of us find it is uncomfortable to step out and talk to new people coming in to visit us, so is it any wonder it is hard for us to give our testimony to others? I pray that God will give us confidence and, as you say, a passion for sharing our faith with others.
