I visited this site after you sent me a message inviting me to check it out. :)<br /><br />@susanrohrerAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3993176764498366645.post-80573076154976729552011-10-15T09:32:42.855-07:002011-10-15T09:32:42.855-07:00So did that new believer begin to minister to those not on that court or field?<br /><br />Obviously, we should not ignore or exclude someone because we prefer a particular venue. However, I believe we are each gifted and sent to be incarnational to a particular tibe/subculture/ethnic/social etc. group. Because we are, we are able to integrate ourselves into that culture, being accepted by the ones we are attempting to reach. Over time and RELATIONSHIP, these individuals begin to open up and ask questions: then we have the right to direct the conversation to Jesus. <br /><br />It seems to me, this individual may not have grasped yet that the Lord may be giving them a burden/gifting/calling to that particular group. My humble 2cents: train them to be incarnational in that group, you stick to your area of influence. Just my humble opinion.Martinhttp://www.martinschmaltz.comnoreply@blogger.com
