encouragement
I think what you want to do is great, png. When loving outreach comes from within our own community, it is received in a different way. It isn't about an agenda to "change people" but to introduce them to the Christ we know and love, who is radical and revolutionary. Why should we keep the secret to the fountain of life quiet? True that there are open and affirming churches, and thank God for these. But many of us would never go to these churches for whatever reason. To know Christ in his fullness is a different matter, and many folks desperately want to know, and how will they know if you don't go to them?
Let them know that we are God's people too, the secret ingredient in his special recipe for humankind.
God bless you-
