10 Reasons to Walk the Neighborhood

Here are the top ten reasons to do the neighborhood walk on Saturday:

1. We love Jesus and want others to know him.

2. The neighborhood walk costs us nothing. Big outreach events cost $250-500.

3. It is kid-friendly, and you're also teaching children how to reach out to others.

4. Introverts don't feel the pressure of starting conversation alone, because they can let extroverts carry the talking.

5. It is simple. We walk. We say hi. We pick up trash. We ask if there is anything we can pray for people about.

6. There are many people in our neighborhood who don't have Christian friends, who aren't part of a church, and who don't know Jesus.

7. It only takes about an hour.

8. You get to know people in our church as you walk.

9. Exercise. Walking with the Lord is good. But so is actual walking. :)

10. It is right in line with our vision of "going out to display King Jesus". We are literally going out from the building.
