I’ve seen a clear pattern that has led to personal and corporate revival. During our compassionate encounters with pre-Christians, we listen twice and speak once. We draw them out to hear what’s troubling them (without force-feeding them our astonishing wisdom). We listen carefully to their worries and dreams. We quietly ponder how such matters might be met in Christ. Often, this may not include showing them the bridge illustration or pressuring them to attend church immediately.
