My wife and I recently contacted a company concerning some investment opportunities. We strolled into this company via their internet website. You know the drill. We filled out the form, hit the send button, and received an automatically generated email response.
Within twenty-four hours of our initial contact with this company, a gentleman named Aaron telephoned us. He wasn't the least bit pushy, but he was certainly interested in us. "I see you are interested in an IRA." "Have you had an opportunity to use some of the educational tools on our website?" "Did you find it helpful?" "Can I have a specialist contact you to outline the steps you would take to start investing in that direction?" "What is a good time for you?" "Do you have any additional questions?" "One more thing before we say 'Goodbye.' Would you like me to send you a reminder email for your 5PM telephone meeting on Tuesday?"
I was impressed with Aaron. He promptly and personally contacted me. He was intentional without being intense. He was focused without being pushy. He was well informed about his company and the products they had to offer. Yes, I know he makes his living by selling his company's investment products. That's when it struck me. Those of us who are followers of Christ believe that he makes a life whole. Jesus in us transcends the realm of making a living, he makes our lives! He is the source of light and life!
How many people come strolling onto the Martin Bluff Church campus longing for something far more important than a temporal investment opportunity? Are you extending a red carpet kind of welcome to everyone you encounter on campus? Yes, you! The fields are white unto harvest and every time our building doors are open God is extending opportunities for us to be his ambassadors. At Martin Bluff Every Member is a Minister!
