The mission of God is to “go” and love people where they live, work, and play.

We carry out the work that God has initiated. On this page you will find five practices that make up the acronym BLESS and give us practical ways to "go" and "bless" the people around us.  These practices are so simple that they can become a part of our daily lives.

Prayer Walking is a great way to Begin With Prayer.

## Home, Work or Play

#### Start by Really Seeing People

Below are three different charts to help you see and take note of the people around you in three major areas of your life: where you live, where you work and where you play. Click one of these icons, fill in the chart and begin praying for them. Choose to go beyond blessing people who are just like you and instead, intentionally bless people across boundaries of difference. In the process, you will find that you too are challenged, enriched, and blessed.

# E:

#### Eat Together

Jesus and others have accepted you and invited you to their table.

Invite others to your table and let the meal match the relationship

(ie - coffee for a new friendship vs. dinner for a well established friendship)

Jesus and others have served you in ways that changed you.

You can serve others in ways that can change them.

#### Share your Story

 

 

There was something about Jesus and his story that was such good news to you!

Share a story of your life in Jesus that is just the good news someone else is needing to hear.
