It begins with having the eyes of Jesus.\nKey Themes:\n Seeing people through the eyes of Christ \n Compassion before invitation \n The harvest is people, not projects \n Prayer prepares our hearts to reach others \n God provides the growth while we faithfully invite \nKey Scriptures:\n Matthew 9:35-38 \n 1 Samuel 16:7 \n Romans 15:7 \n 1 Corinthians 3:6-7 \nEagle Community Church of Christ\nMont Belvieu, Texas\nLoving God.
