My cyber friend John Meunier has a interesting post on house to house visitation on the part of pastors.
The timing was ideal.
Just last evening, I went “blessing houses” with another preacher friend — this one from Huntersville and he’s a man I’ve met him in person rather than just through theological cyberspace.
I was sharing Good Shepherd’s approach of “high touch, low threat” evangelism. We greet new movers to the area with a smile, a card, and a “World Famous Refrigerator Magnet.”
Approximately 200 people who had their first contact with Good Shepherd through Bless This House now call this church home.
So we’re hoping the Huntersville church can have the same kind of impact.
House to house? All for it.

Talbot – I had so much fun “blessing houses” with you and Assurance UMC will be blessing houses by February. What a great ministry. Thanks to you and GS for sharing! And people have not lived until they have seen the panic in your eyes when you knock on a strange door and hear a dog start barking. How can a man that trusts Jesus as much as you do be soooo scared of dogs???
Wow! Another Talbot/dog story. Gotta love it. How do you overcome your fears? Continue to face them!
