How we are trying to reach out to others

I am a pastor of a very small house church ministry. How to reach out to the young people of Dekalb and NIU is the “million dollar” question. I haven’t been able to do it in a big way. I have in small ways through 1:1 Bible study and mentoring (shepherding). We try to do it in several ways. 1. My kids lead the FCA (Fellowship of Christian Athletes” group at the high school. There are five of them coming down the shoot there and so they can provide leadership for the next seven years. Praise the Lord! It is every Thursday before class for 20 minutes. Jenn is leading them through Nehemiah. They meet tomorrow. 2, We support and eat at Feed ‘Em Soup. 3. We sing at Christian music festivals (St Matthews in Glendale Heights and Praizapalooza at Hopkins Park. 4. We have 1:1 Bible study with students. 5. I keep going to Haish gym and making friends there. There are 2 people who study the Bible there. 6. I pray and encourage my kids top to break through the “Friends” barrier to enter into discipleship relationships with classmates. 7. We participate in the DeKalb Christian church monthly “Open Mic NIght”. All of these are my attempts to reach out to the community.

I thank God that I am able to preach the gospel through various means but I have to admit that I am helpless to help people grow was spiritual leaders and I am helpless to produce spiritual leaders who can co-work with me and my family on the mission field of NIU and DeKalb. This fact causes me to despair a lot at times. But I am learning many spiritual lessons at the same time. All of this comes from God in his time and his way. I am really learning that it can only be accomplished through prayer and also through co-working with other churches in the area. We must break through denominational lines and co-work as one body. If you have any co-working opportunities then let me know.
