4 Ways to Get on Mission in August
Hello, August!
Is it just me, or is 2017 flying by? I feel like summer just started yesterday, and it’s actually already half over. This year feels like it’s slipping through my fingers super fast.
Can you relate?
On August 1st, I turned the page to the new calendar month fresh with promise and decided I wanted to make the most of the weeks I have left. I want to squeeze more Jesus into my summer.
Want to join me? I’ve got some ideas to share with you.
4 Ways to Get on Mission in August
- Host a prayer tea. Invite a few friends over, put a kettle on the stove, and warm up the atmosphere as you knit your hearts together through intercession. Fight on your knees for your family members who are lost.
- Buy a card with a Scriptural promise on it and write a note to a loved one sharing how you are praying these words for them. Share how God loves them more than you do.
- Fire up the grill and throw a BBQ for your neighbors. Prepare a few “conversation starters” on slips of paper with thought-provoking questions. Pass them out as you finish your meal and watch the Holy Spirit ignite some hearts.
- Go live on Facebook and share a two-minute God story. What did you read this week in your Bible? How has God answered your prayer? What did you learn in church? I dare you to share it.
Summer is full of possibility. Let’s make every moment count for the Kingdom.
You are so right! Summer flew by. I love the idea to buy a card with Scripture and then pray that scripture over a friend. I think small notes of encouragement go a long way – especially handwritten and this takes it to the next level. Love the idea of the conversation starters too!!
I considered posting a FB video about in my writer’s group. Now, I have to do it. You’re dare pushed me over! As ALWAYS, your post inspired me!
I admire your consistent and substantive posts!
Summer did fly by, except for me, this year, it’s a little longer. If I was still teaching, this would be the first week of school. Instead, I’m still able to enjoy summer. Of course, I’m crazy busy packing to move in 2 weeks and finishing up my “farewell tour.” Love these suggestions for squeezing more Jesus into my summer!
