A summer of simple, faithful outreach.
This summer, we’re asking God to put one person on each of our hearts–someone we can notice, care for, pray for, and invite with love.
The rhythm: Notice. Care. Pray. Invite.
-
Ask God to help you see the people He has already placed around you. Sometimes outreach begins by slowing down enough to notice someone’s name, story, need, burden, or openness.
-
Look for simple, genuine ways to show love. That might mean listening longer, checking in, offering help, sharing a meal, remembering what they told you, or being present when life gets hard.
-
Pray for your one by name. Pray for their life, their needs, their openness to Jesus, and your own courage, wisdom, and compassion.
-
When the moment seems right, invite them to take a next step. That could be a conversation, coffee, a Sunday service, a summer event, or a simple opportunity to learn more about Jesus.
This week: Have one real conversation.
You don’t have to reach everyone. You don’t have to have all the answers. And you don’t have to force a spiritual moment.
Start with one person you’re already praying for — a neighbor, coworker, friend, family member, classmate, or someone you regularly cross paths with.
This week, ask God for one open door. It may be a text, a check-in, a coffee invitation, or a moment when you ask how they’re really doing and actually listen.
The goal is not to manage them, pressure them, or hand them off to someone else. The goal is to love them toward Jesus, one faithful step at a time.
Try one honest question:
“How are you really doing?”
“What’s been hardest lately?”
“How can I pray for you?”

Feeling unsure? That’s normal.
You don’t need perfect words or a long list of answers.
Most of us feel intimidated when we think about sharing our faith. But this summer isn’t about pressure, performance, or forcing conversations. It’s about learning to pay attention, love people well, pray with purpose, and take one faithful step when God opens the door.
Start simply: ask God to put one person on your heart.
When the conversation turns toward Jesus…
You don’t have to turn this into a speech. If someone is curious, hurting, asking spiritual questions, or wondering what it means to follow Jesus, our Gospel page can help you walk through the good news in simple language.
You can read it for yourself, send it to someone, or sit with them and look at it together.
One person. One prayer. One faithful step.
Let’s trust God together this summer to reach one more for Jesus.
