Ministry Must Be Personal:A key to meet a needs.
Cheryl said to pastor, "well, I did enjoy your message, but it wasn't your message, that made me want to be part of the church. The reason l want to be part of your church," cheryl continued, "is because after church, you had everybody greet somebdy and then take hold of their hands and pray for them...."
"I need to be touched," she told the surprised pastor, "not just by God, but by somebody."
"One of the woman in your church came over and held my hand, and she began to pray for me. She prayed for my needs and she touched me. That's why I'm going to be a member of this church." The woman talked about my personal care, personal ministry, and personal involvement.
First- time attenders dont merely needs a message; they need ministry.
They don't necessary come looking for a pastor; they need a friend.
