When we share our faith, our role is to open the doors of possibility. How do we build bridges? + Care about people. + Find out their story – Ask questions. + Share your experiences and story. + Meet a need. + Don’t be weird! All people matter to God. Join him in pursuing the people he loves.

Bridge Builders use their influence to point people to Jesus, not themselves Bridge Builders make sharing Jesus a first priority. Jesus' last command is our first priority Jesus calls us to be his witness, not his attorney. Bridge Builders keep it simple: invite and invest
