It sounds like you are tring to trick these folks into something. A little music the right atmosphere and then slip them a little Jesus under the table when no one is watching. My advice would be to pray and see how the Lord would have you do this. Test the spirit too it sounds like the spirit of this present age that you are hearing from.

Nothing could be farther from the truth. On the flip side, the word "church" has done more to scare people away as a result of the factions and power plays that is all too often seen in the ORGANIZATIONs masquerading as church.

Our heart is to let people know from the beginning as to what we are: a safe place where they can come and be encouraged to become the person whom God has created them to be and not become some cog in a decaying machine called "church."

Not a "little Jesus" but a LOT of Jesus as seen in His people expressing their love for Him and each other. Remember that Jesus said the proof that we are His is that the world will see our love for one another. The Early Church never once had to create some evangelistic program to reach out because the world watched them together and the care they showed for one another, which showed that they were different from the world. That's why there were people joining their ranks DAILY.
