Here's a powerful and wonderful account of one of our Community Group's experiences last week for the tell portion of our "Pray, Serve, Tell" theme for the fall.
Our Community Group went out to do the 'Challenging Outreach' one night last week in Boston's busy Prudential Center.The more that I do this outreach, which involves asking people about the biggest challenge they face, the more I am filled with boldness! This is largely because I am so delighted and surprised by people's willingness to open up about the things that matter most to them, even to a complete stranger, and even in academic and largely secular Boston. God is moving in this city!
As we asked people about the biggest challenges they faced, their answers moved us. Here are some of them.
This simple question allows people to honestly share where they are at and opens up the opportunity to pray and be invitational with people. Last week, we prayed with a young Hindu man who was visiting Boston for a conference, invited an Asian couple to church for our Christmas services, and exchanged email addresses with a Buddhist gentleman who has since been in touch to find out more about FenwayChurch!
Our CG had fun together meeting new people and were thankful for the opportunity to be a part of Tell Week.

As we asked people about the biggest challenges they faced, their answers moved us. Here are some of them.- 'Going to work everyday even though I want to quit'
- 'Overcoming my father's Alzheimers'
- 'Adjusting to life in a new city'
- 'Telling people that I'm adopted.'
