As you can see, Christians and churches in Georgia face dramatic changes in the next decade.  And the Question is :  HOW are we supposed to share the Gospel of Christ with an increasingly Non-Christian Culture ?

HOW do we REDEEM the Culture?    I believe we redeem the culture the “Old-Fashioned” way, the way the original Apostles did it in the Book of Acts.  Our methods and technology may change, but the timeless principles of God’s Word remain the same.

Read  Acts 17:16-17  Start with Believers in Synagogue (or Church) – then take it to the Marketplace – to our Workplace, School, Walmart, Kroger, gym, and ball field.  Work your Person to Person Networks  (Read ALL of Acts & watch how the Apostles NETworked) – we saw from the presentation how:
*Newspaper Ads – not very effective – only 8% still Read a paper

*Local TV & Radio Spots – not very effective – only 15% watching

*Cold Call – never has been really effective – They didn’t INVITE you, They don’t KNOW you, WHY should they TRUST you?

-Remember the  “WHO DO” CARD?   Who do you KNOW – that is UnChurched or Non-Christian or who you suspect is “LOST” ?  The card reminds YOU of YOUR Network .  Connect with Them – Personally – Call Them,  Visit Them,  Email Them, Facebook Them, Tweet Them —- INVITE Them to come to Bible Study with you. That’s HOW we get it DONE – NETWORKING !!

Remember Jesus calling the Disciples – He STARTED with NETWORKERS

Mat 4:18 And Jesus, walking by the Sea of Galilee, saw two brothers, Simon called Peter, and Andrew  his brother, casting a net into the sea; for they were fishermen.  19 Then He said to them, “Follow Me, and I will make you fishers of men.”  20 They immediately left their nets and followed Him.

Peter got sidetracked thinking that JESUS was going to overthrow the  Romans and BUILD the KINGDOM of God with GOVERNMENT

After the Cross & Resurrection – Jesus Re-emphasized – The Kingdom will be Built through the NETWORKing of PEOPLE SHARING the GOSPEL with PEOPLE   >>  Joh 21:4 But when the morning had now come, Jesus stood on the shore; yet the disciples did not   know that it was Jesus. 5 Then Jesus said to them, “Children, have you any food?” They answered Him, “No.”  6 And He said to them, “Cast the net on the right side of the boat, and you will find some.” So they cast, and now they were not able to draw it in because of the multitude of fish.  … 10 Jesus said to them, “Bring some of the fish which you have just caught.” 11 Simon Peter went up   and dragged the net to land, full of large fish, one hundred and fifty-three; and although there  were so many, the net was not broken.
