INVITE
The experience of God’s loving
touch in one’s life is a gift the maturing
disciple feels compelled to share with others.

into words what God has done for us. Words of
witness and acts of genuine hospitality directed
toward our friends, relatives and neighbors
create the opportunity through which the Holy
Spirit brings others into a relationship with
Christ and his church. The biblical model for
evangelism is relational: friends bring friends
to Jesus. “Come and see” are the operative words
and find frequent expression in the Gospels, the
story of the early church, and in the tradition
of the church over the centuries. The disciple
plants seeds and invites; the Holy Spirit works
the miracle of faith and conversion.
Part of a disciple’s
job description is to invite others often.
