On November 6-7 I went to Denver for a Dare 2 Share Conference and we were taught about “THE Cause”. What is THE Cause you’re asking? D2S recognized that the term “The Great Commission” has been used for many years and has fallen on deaf ears. Well, THE Cause is the new and upcoming event.
(THE Cause ~ As you are going make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, teaching them to observe everything I have commanded you. And remember, I am with you always, to the end of the age. -Matthew 28:19-20)
What will you do for THE Cause? You have 100 times more influence on your friends than a stranger does! I have attached THE Cause Circle, it is a simple tool that will help you be purposeful about sharing Jesus’ message with your friends. It will help you identify your friends, then remind you to pray, to pursue spiritual conversations and to persuade them to consider Jesus’ message.
Here’s how it works.
Write the names of your friends in the center of THE Cause Circle. Identify three friends you want to share the gospel with, then write their names in the “pray” section of the circle. As you find opportunities to pursue spiritual conversations with these friends, advance their name to the “pursue” area of the circle. Then go back and add another friend’s name to the “pray” section. When you have opportunities to go deeper in your spiritual conversations with your friends, move those friends forward along the circle to the “persuade” section. Your hope is that over time you will be able to persuade all your friends to:
Accept Christ
Belong to a Church
Commit to THE Cause
Make sure you go to Facebook and become a fan of THE Cause (www.dare2share.com/facebook). Tell some of your stories read some stories of others that have joined THE Cause. It’s one big encouragement circle that keeps going and going. If you have any questions about THE Cause please feel free to ask me or visit www.dare2share.com/thecause.
Make sure you pass this on to your friends!!
