Week 4 Recap: Blurry: Evangelism
Application Ideas
- Invite someone to TXT3 next week (promise to buy their coffee).
- Write out your story. Do it in three paragraphs. First, what was your life like before you met Jesus? Second, how did you meet Jesus? Third, what is Jesus doing in your life now?
- Tell your story to someone this week.
- Bake cookies and take them to work with some TXT3 cards (you can pick cards up from the office)
- Put a TXT3 screen as your computer background and pray for conversations to start because of it.
- Talk to a few of your neighbors and ask them how you can pray for them this week.
- If you go out to eat, ask your waiter how you can pray for him/her.
- Make a list of seven people that you know need Jesus. Pray for one of them a day.

I loved the “three-pronged survey” approach to the texting last night! Keep it up…
