U – Be Understanding
R – Be Responsive
C – Be Consistent
H – Be Helpful
L – Be “Letter-Ready”
Today, we will take a look at:
E – Be Evangelistic
In communicating to people, always be looking for ways to provide the message of the Gospel of Christ in a relevant and meaningful way.
Jesus often told stories to illustrate a truth, so don’t hesitate to do the same within the context of a letter to further share the greatness of God’s love available to them.
Perhaps you will want to include a tract that deals specifically with the situation they are involved in at the moment. Allow the Holy Spirit to direct you to open doors, then be sure and step through when those doors swing wide.
Of course, the greatest evangelistic tool we can use is the Word of God, and with the ease of using Bible software to find the most appropriate scripture, there really should be no excuse for not placing a scripture passage of encouragement in a letter. His Word accomplishes MUCH more than our words!
Evangelism should be at the heart of all of our communication, and writing letters should be no different.
