In order to help you evaluate what kind of relationships you have with people who are yet to be believers in Christ we would like for you to choose from the following options:

 

My relationship with non-christians is ………

 

NON-EXISTENT……Most of my friends are believers.  I have little relationship with non-christians.    I need to carve out time in my life to meet and develop friendships with people who are seeking.

 

A LITTLE SKETCHY……I am acquaintances with several people who aren’t christians but I don’t really take the time to get to know them.  There is not much of a relationship present and I could benefit from some ideas that might help.

 

READY FOR THE NEXT STEP ……I have all sorts of friends who are non-christians, but It has been hard for me to take the next step and talk with them about their faith.  I want to invite them to church but the opportunity hasn’t presented itself and I just can’t find a way to ask them.

 

FRUSTRATING……I have all sorts of friends who are non-christians.  I talk with them about faith stuff, but they don’t seem to show interest.  I have been inviting and inviting them and still they aren’t coming.  What do I do now?

 

I ROCK AT THIS!……I have been loving on my ”neighbors” for years and I have all sorts of      non-christian friends who have been seeing Jesus work in me.  They are asking me why I do the things I do, and I am able to tell them it is because of how much God loves us.   I know that God’s work is never finished and I continue to seek ways to love people.
