If you were to personally approach and invite 400 people from another religion to a bible study, what would be the expected number of responses? Would the expected number of responses be according to God's Word? Or some statistical database?
What if your only invitation to these 400 was a small advertisement on the front window of where you will have the bible study? Would that raise or lower the number of likely positive responses?
Looking at Godly Principles, here is a great RECIPE: Locate yourself near people that have needs and seek to fill some of those needs ("Love your Neighbor"). Then open your doors so that any who choose can come and taste the Word of God ("Go into all the world and preach the gospel").
If you have one positive response, God will be honored. If you have a consistent response of 30 to 80 weekly, God will be honored. And no one would object if you put up a sign and called your location:
THE OASIS. :)
THE OASIS is weekly reaching out to 100 to 300 refugees by helping fill some physical needs (clothing, some kitchen items, travel bags, a place to relax) and offering the Word of God in many different forms (preaching, literature, digital downloads, DVDs).
This Recipe has been repeated at the Oasis for more than 25 years. At the Oasis we continue to seek to honor God in the name of Jesus Christ. Statistics do not shape what happens at the Oasis. God does!
