40 Days and H2O

Day after day, in the temple courts and from house to house,they never stopped teaching and proclaiming the good news that Jesus is the Messiah.

(Acts 5:42)

40 Days and H2O• 1 Host family, I Helper family, 1 Outreach leader family• Home-based neighborhood evangelistic Bible studies.• Invite un-churched or lost friends and neighbors. • Studies will be held at least once per month either on Sunday

night or another night. • Will NOT be a substitute for Sunday School participation for

the hosts. • The ultimate goal is to present the Gospel to our neighbors,

and invite them to join us in Sunday morning worship and to become a part of a Sunday school class on Sunday mornings.

Day after day, in the temple courts and from house to house,they never stopped teaching and proclaiming the good news that Jesus is the Messiah.

(Acts 5:42)
