7 ways to share Christ while practicing socially distancing
Dear David,
Did you remember that old Sunday School song that says, "Hide it under a bushel? NO! I'm going to let it shine"? In years past, we sang that song with gusto and conviction. Will you be bold and let your light for Christ shine amid the dark times we're currently navigating?
Here are 7 ideas to inspire you to get started:
1. Be a good neighbor.
Take a prayer walk around your neighborhood. Maintain a healthy distance from others, but encourage those you see along the way with a kind word, smile, let them know that you’ll be praying for them and that you’re there if they need anything.
2. Share the wealth.
If you are stocked up with food and toilet paper, look for those in need. Put a flyer up near your community’s mailboxes or on neighborhood Facebook group and let people know that you have extras or are healthy enough to go on supply runs for those in need. When you share your supplies, share a pocket-sized Gospel, too.
3. FaceTime story time with Mini BFFs.
If your friends have young ones stuck at home, FaceTime them and read them a story. Bonus points if it’s a Bible story. Teach them your old-school favorite Sunday school songs. Let them know that you and Jesus love them. Your friends will get a short break, you’ll get entertained, and the kids will have a break from boredom.
4. Bless the delivery guys.
If you are ordering delivery food or supplies, bless the delivery guys. Leave a basket of bottled drinks, snacks and pocket-sized Gospels by the door with a Thank You and Please Enjoy note.
5. Get Crafty!
Many adults and kids love getting crafty! Get out the art supplies and make cards. If you have stamps and envelopes, mail them out and add a gospel too! Or hand-make cards and projects you can leave on the doorsteps of neighbors and friends.
6. Consider the lonely.
Who do you know that’s elderly or single that may be feeling extra lonely these days? Call, text, FaceTime, drive by and wave from the car. A smile, silly song or conversation may be exactly what this person needs.
7. Leave a supply!
At the grocery store, community entrance or outside your front door, leave a supply of Gospels with a note that says “Take one for free… it could save your life!”
Keep the faith. Keep reading and sharing God's Word! Be safe and follow the national guidelines for social distancing. And if you're sick or don't have a supply of Gospels on hand, check out our NEW digital Gospel. Details below.
A New Way to Share: Go Digital!
Just simply share this link, PTL.org/GOJ with anyone who needs a Gospel. Send friends and family members a link to a page that has the Gospel of John and Salvation Text in an easy to read format for every device. Share the hope you have in Christ, just as you would a physical Gospel of John.
Ideal for social media sharing too! Need help getting started? Try sending a text or Facebook message that says, "While we are stuck at home, would you want to read some of Jesus' own words with me?" or "In times like this, I am finding comfort in God's Word. Would you want to read the Gospel of John with me?"
