Good Friday morning, my friend.
You are (or can be) a link in the chain. Actually, a link in many chains:
A person's coming to Christ is like a chain with many links…. There are many influences and conversations that precede a person's decision to convert to Christ. I know the joy of being the first link at times, a middle link usually, and occasionally the last link. God has not called me to only be the last link. He has called me to be faithful and to love all people. – evangelist Cliffe Knechtle
You can be a link in the chain by inviting someone to chuch, bringing a meal to a family suffering loss or illness, being open to talking about Jesus to your family and friends, even if you are rebuffed. You may not feel like an evangelist, but you are called to be one. I was once a dedicated skeptic but because of a number of wonderful people, links in my chain, I have come to know the One true God and His saving mercy. Please don't give up on your friends and relatives. And don't neglect praying for them:
Evangelism without intercession is like an explosive without a detonator; intercession without evangelism is like a detonator without an explosive.– Reinhart Bonnke
For a great example of this, take the time to read this story.
Grace and peace be yours in abundance,
Bruce
