Unless I have my spiritual wires crossed, this fall I plan
on going through Alien Love with the people that God places on my heart. For anyone who has already went through the
study, if they remain with me, they will be playing a vital role in it as well.
I have spent a lot
of time lately thinking about the kinds of conversations I need to be having
with the people in my life, whether they be believers, non-believers, family or
coworkers. I have also done a lot of
thinking as to how I would go about inviting loved ones to take the journey
with me.
I know that you
might go about it much differently if you were in my shoes, but here is a sample
of what has been on my heart as I consider inviting the people on my heart.
Dear Fellow Christian,
It’s a privilege to
share a common faith in our Lord Jesus Christ and I trust that you are allowing
Him to continue to mould and to make you more and more like Himself. I hope you desire the same for me. I’m writing today to invite you to be a part
of something that I am very passionate about .
Beginning this September,
I plan to lead a study group through my book, Alien Love. I think very highly of you, so I thought that
you might be interested. We will be
meeting once a month for 10 months. If
you are interested and if you think you would have the time, I hope you will
consider attending our first gathering, just to try it out.
We will be kicking
off the study on September 15th.
If you’re interested, please let me know by August 3rd. If I don’t hear from you, I will assume that you
aren’t interested, but I would appreciate hearing your thoughts either way.
Have a great day!
In Christ, Love
Kevin
Dear Non-believer,
Kevin here. I’m
writing to you today to invite you to be a part of something that I am very
passionate about. As you know, I’m one
of “those” Christians; the kind that thinks forever lasts a very long
time. And because it lasts a very long
time, I am convinced that whatever happens to us there, is far more important
than what happens in our brief time here.
I also believe, that in forever, there is One God, and Jesus is the way
to be made right with Him.

please know that I’m not inviting you because I want to force it on you. I’m inviting you because I love you, and
would enjoy nothing more than for you to be my brother in Christ.

Dear Family Member,

You also know that I
am quite active in my church. At times,
I feel like I give more of myself to my church family than I do to you, and in
doing so, somehow neglect you. I often
wish that my life there were not separate from my life with you. Perhaps you hope the same. If so, maybe there is a way to remedy the
situation.

These sound great, Kevin. I am of course a complete chicken, so the thought of actually giving them to people in my life is frightening.
