For those who have never heard of reaching a community through the “man of peace” method, I’m going to elaborate a bit.

The method is based on Luke 10:

Whenever you enter a home, give it your blessing.
6 If those who live there are worthy, the blessing will stand; if they are not, the blessing will return to you.
7 When you enter a town, don’t move around from home to home. Stay in one place, eating and drinking what they provide you. Don’t hesitate to accept hospitality, because those who work deserve their pay.
8 “If a town welcomes you, eat whatever is set before you
9 and heal the sick. As you heal them, say, `The Kingdom of God is near you now.’

Luke 10:5-9 (NLT)

I felt like the Holy Spirit was having me read this and remind me of the fact that starting a community for Christ can be as simple as living with some people and serving them, and praying for the sick to be healed.  A modern example of this is a group of people were wanting to start a simple church and would walk around an apartment complex and pray for it.  One day it was raining really hard and a lady called them out of the rain into her apartment.  That lady eventually gave her life to Christ and she started to invite her friends in the apartment complex over for food and a Bible Study.  Turns out she was the most well-known lady in the whole complex and was friends with many people, and many people came to know Christ.

I was thinking that if Abby and I move to NYC, then maybe we could sublet a room in a condo/apartment and believe God to draw that person to them as we love on them.  Simple.
