“That if thou shalt confess with thy

Help complete the cycle of discipleship
Move a heart from awareness to fellowship
Make your visit brief
Share a few words that remain with them

by the person we are visiting.
• Our expressions, interest, and tone of
voice can determine if words are even
heard.

moved with compassion on them, because
they fainted, and were scattered abroad, as
sheep having no shepherd.”

Luke 7
22 Then Jesus answering said unto them, Go your way, and tell
John what things ye have seen and heard; how that the blind
see, the lame walk, the lepers are cleansed, the deaf hear, the
dead are raised, to the poor the gospel is preached.
Romans 10
14 How then shall they call on him in whom they have not
believed? and how shall they believe in him of whom they have
not heard? and how shall they hear without a preacher?
