I was part of starting a church nine years ago (and continue to be the Lead Pastor) that is focused (possibly to a fault) in reaching people who are truly lost and are very far from God. As with any church, we have our fair share of problems, but one thing we do really well is reach lost people. For instance, 72% of people who come have never been to church or gave up on church years ago.<BR/><BR/>That's why I was asked to do this blog. This wasn't my idea. Newchurches.com asked me to contribute a featured blog on the subject of reaching lost people - I guess because of our reputation for doing it well. I don't consider myself an expert on anything, including this, but if there's one thing I feel pretty comfortable in - it's this. <BR/><BR/>So, if you want to keep reading this blog - we ARE going to share practical ideas for reaching really lost people (not just bemoan the fact that many churches aren't). <BR/><BR/>Thanks for your comment!!Vince Antonuccihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01577695138497215119noreply@blogger.com
