Many Christians can name one
or two people who were critical to their entry into the faith community. Perhaps a pastor, a relative, a neighbor, or
a coworker offered the first invitation, provided encouragement, or welcomed
them. Even in larger congregations, an
unusually high proportion of newcomers have been influenced by a small handful
of people. These "doorway people"
have a natural way of gently helping people along on the critical first steps
toward faith. Who are the "doorway
people" for your own faith journey?
For whom are you a doorway person?
