When
was the last time you led someone to Jesus?
I know a couple who first
attended Pathways at the COJ site located in Quezon City. They live in Las
Pinas so the traffic and travel time was becoming a concern. They were led to move
to Pathways Southside after consulting their leaders at the site. This couple
has been actively serving the site since their transfer. The husband serves
as the Music Ministry head and the wife serves as an action group leader &
music min vocalist.
There is a couple from the
north of Manila who wanted to bring some of their relatives to a prayer
gathering. However, these relatives live in the southern part of Manila.
Inviting them to any of the Pathways in the North would not be appealing and
practical. Last October, this couple brought their three relatives to
Pathways Southside. They travelled all the way to Alabang so they can
personally accompany them. That's at least 30 kilometers and several hours of
traffic. They stayed till the end of the prayer meeting not minding the long
travel going back to Quezon City. Their relatives have been regular attendees
since then.
A young couple attended
the CHOICES seminar given by Pathways Miriam College (MC) two months ago. They
heard about the other Pathways sites and immediately thought of a friend. They
asked their friend which of the sites would be better for her. Last Wednesday,
this couple left their residence somewhere in Q.C. at 3PM so they can bring and
join their friend in the 7PM prayer meeting of Southside. I pray that their
friend continues to attend our weekly gatherings.
I honor the effort of
these individuals for leading and bringing their friends to Pathways Southside.
I thank their friends & relatives for having an open mind to attend
Pathways.
You might have witnessed
or heard of similar stories. In the prayer group Pathways our tagline goes "God meets you where you are". And GOD truly does.
However, as Jesus followers, it is also our role to lead people to where
they can meet God. That place maybe Pathways, another prayer group or simply
encouraging them to attend mass again.
Have a blessed day!
