I came across this from the Christian Post and I liked the analogy:
Did you know that 95% of Christians have never led another person to Christ? You might protest, “But I’m not gifted as an evangelist!” That may be true, but every believer is called to evangelize. I know the idea of evangelism seems daunting, overwhelming. We wonder, “How can we do it?”
The answer to that question is that same as the answer to the question, “How do you eat an elephant?” One bite at a time. How do we fulfill the Great Commission? One bite at a time.
How are you doing personally at taking some bites? Are you encouraging those in your ministry to do the same–to take one bite at a time?
