I get frustrated with people like that because I'm like, "Dang it, I want to be the closer." I'm not the closer. There are people that are so good at it and they make the rest of us envious. Evangelism is that closer on that moment of somebody saying yes to Jesus for the first time, and God makes people for that purpose, he does. Talking about our faith is different than evangelism. My relationship with the Lord is just an important part of me, and it's an important part for you as well. I'm going to find ways to factor those into the conversations that we have. Why, because those relationships are important to me. I know what's important to you based on what you talk about. Sharing your faith, that should be the most natural part of who we are. I mean, that's not the same as evangelism. Nobody's off the hook about sharing your faith. Secondly, don't ever do that to me again." Here's the thing. I'm like, "Gosh." Then I try it and people are like, "Okay, first of all, that was weird. People who just are supernaturally empowered to bring people to Christ and everywhere they go it seems like people are repenting. I've had an incredible privilege to be connected to some tremendous evangelists. If there was ever for me a message that is a life message for me, this is it, and here's why.

One of the things that she has there is a handout with 10 ways that you can pray for the persecuted church, which actually be really useful. Right out here if you go out and take a right next to the prayer room, Anita Andres is there with a table that has several pieces of information about the persecuted church. I'm praying for the persecuted church today. Here's another thing I'd like to say just real quick before we get rolling. I have said multiple times, I'm grieving for Israel right now because there's no one here, but it was great for us. In another year this window will be, it'll be back to normal. If you've thought about going, May is the trip to go to Israel. I'm just saying we had this opportunity to experience the land of Israel in a way that is just different than most other times right now, and different in a good way. if we hadn't been so pressed for time we'd had a full-blown worship set, because it's powerful in there. We were able to just sit in it, which was. There was not another human in the building. So you have to sing and then run out, and sing and run out, and sing and run.

I was like, "I'm great. I got a wonderful message from someone in our congregation that was like, "Hey, you haven't been here for a few weeks.
