Question Title

* 2. Who is God sending me to? God often calls us to a neighborhood or a network of relationships. Most of the time God will reveal this to you by bringing you a "Person of Peace" (see Luke 10:1-11) from that neighborhood or network. So, is there a person or group that God has enabled you to build a trusting relationship with, which could be an opportunity share God's grace and develop creative partnerships over the long term?

Question Title

* 3. If you identified a "Person of Peace" in Question #1, ask the Gospel question: What is the good news for this group of people? What aspect of the gospel will speak to their hearts most powerfully? How can we live out the message of Jesus and also talk about Jesus effectively? In other words, how do we show them and tell them the good news of Jesus? If no person or group came to mind, simply write "na" and keep praying!
