Hospitality

• You see potential in every person. Use this perspective to welcome people into your life. Claim the potential you see as an opportunity to welcome another human being into meaningful relationships with God, a Christian community, or the local context.
• You may be a wonderful guide for people seeking to understand how they can grow in their faith. This comes through relationships. Reflect on friends, relatives, neighbors, and acquaintances who do not have a relationship with Christ. What is the hidden potential you see in them?
• Call, text, email first-time guests as an act of encouragement.

Offer Christ

• You are an encourager. You spot signs of improvement and find satisfaction from naming the growth you see- no matter how big or small. Small steps are a chance for big celebrations.
• Find ways to show others you see growth. Help them take the next step in their faith journey.
• It is likely baptism will be an experience you cherish. It is both a milestone and a celebration. What role might you take in nurturing a child, teen, or adult following their baptism?

Practice
