๐๐How we should invite and approach a person to a small group (Bible Study) especially, millennials our new generation. ๐โคโค
๐Be intentional of your motives.
Do not immediately preach the word of God. Usually, teenagers, today dont like the feeling of being preached upon. The best way to do this is to create a relationship with them first. Starting with visiting, listen to their problems, etc.
๐Find perfect timing.
You should know how to approach and how to tell things in the right time at the right place and avoid sounding like PREACHY, NAGGING LEADERS (PASTOR)
๐ if one of your friends recently broke up their relationship, YOU CANNOT SAY, HEY MAN, LETS GO TO THE BIBLE STUDY, ETC.
Approach them like as a normal friend, so he/she can share with you and treat them a coffee or lunch. Dont stop communicating with them,chats, text or call, so little by little you can slowly share the word of God.
๐Make yourself always available.
Always make yourself available when your friends, or members ask you for a talk. It only means that they want to hear more about God and that you should take this as an opportunity to share again. If they want to pray for them, pray for them. If they cant really have time for the Bible study, you can at leasf call them, text or chats. These are hungry people who thirst to hear the word of God.
๐When having a LG meetings or whatsoever be open to new ideas.
A healthy small group (Bible study/Life group etc.) This is where responses are naturally coming out from each person. Each of us has a different point of view in life.
As a leader start telling them that everything said inside the study will be confidential and that they can share anything they want. Some are right and should be reflected by the whole group and some are WRONG which YOU SHOULD LATER CORRECT THE PERSON PERSONALLY.
AS A LEADER respond with love and understanding to your group so that the team (group) will be a place for them to be honest to their struggles to the word of God.
OUR MAIN GOAL SHOULD BE TO LOVE PEOPLE BY SHARING THE WORD OF GOD. WE ARE HERE TO LOVE AND CARE FOR THEM BECAUSE GOD FIRST LOVED US. โคโค Thank you Lord for the wisdom and knowledge โค
