“If you love me, obey my commandments. John 14:15 NLT

As a child of God, everything has changed for you. God has a plan and a purpose for your life. Part of His plan is for you to reproduce! Oh, don’t get excited! I am not talking about adding babies but adding new believers.

Jesus gave very specific instructions to His followers in Matthew 28:18-19a: And Jesus came and spoke to them, saying, “All authority has been given to Me in heaven and on earth. Gotherefore and make disciples of all the nations….”

Do you recognize that Jesus is giving His followers a command? Not optional. Not if we feel like it. Not a suggestion. Obeying His command is how we show our love for Him. Stop! Think about that! Followers follow out of love.

You may very well be a brand-new follower of Christ. Your Bible knowledge may not be the greatest yet. Nonetheless, that is not an excuse to be quiet. Why? Because we have a testimony! We can share how we came to know Jesus. No one can argue with that, right?

God will open doors for you to share your testimony with friends, family, and sometimes strangers. Yikes, Grandma!? Not strangers! That sounds hard. No, not really my precious one. It’s easier than you think.

There is a ministry called Groundwire (www.groundwire.net) that has developed an amazing way to share Jesus online via live chat. They train and equip their volunteer “coaches” to share Jesus from the comfort of their homes via a secure chat platform.

“Really? Does that work?” you might ask. Oh yes! Hundreds of thousands of people each year make professions of faith through Groundwire. Think about that. You could become a coach! It’s easy. Just go to www.groundwire.net/coaching and apply. It’s the adventure of a lifetime!

It has been my joy to spend time with you. Make a plan by putting time with God at the top of your list. Put on your spiritual armor, plug into a church, and discover your spiritual gifts and purpose. Trust God to equip you and empower you to carry out your assignment. Consider becoming a Groundwire Coach. You will never regret it.

I love you, and I look forward to meeting you in Heaven!

Love you,

Grandma
