"Andrew then went to find his brother... and he brought him to meet
Jesus." (John 1:41-42, TLB).
Operation Andrew is a simple, five-step plan designed
to help Christians reach out to people they know who need Jesus Christ. By
participating in Operation Andrew, you can make a difference for Christ in
your community.
Make a
list of 10 people you want to see come to the Lord, then:
LOOK AROUND where you live, work, or go to school - this is your
mission field. List names of individuals you know who need Jesus Christ, whom
you will pray for regularly.
LOOK UP because God changes people through prayer. Pray each day for
those on your list, that God will give you opportunities to share His love
with them.
LOOK OUT for ways to cultivate friendships with each person on your
list and earn their confidence. Spend time with them. An invitation to dinner
or a sporting event will build friendships which can open the way to talk
about Christ.
LOOK FORWARD by beginning to talk with each person on your list about
attending an outreach event with you. Choose a specific date, pray, and
invite them.
LOOK AFTER those who respond to Christ or even begin to show interest
in the Gospel, for they need your encouragement. Continue to love and pray
for those who do not respond.
