Several years ago I walked into a used furniture store in Irondequoit. On one of the beds lied a young man, about 16 years old. He was lined with tattoos and body-piercings from his face down. Talking with his mom on the other side of the store, it was clear he was looking for attention.
I thought to myself, who will evangelize this young man? Will he find himself wanting to walk into a nearby Catholic Church? Will the local church, or his parish (the geographical boundary in which he lives) reach him and bring him to Christ?
These are great questions. We live in a high-need world and a high-need society. People are hungry and awaiting our genuine and thoughtful response.
How can we become better evangelizers?
By becoming better leaders!
Leadership expert and best-selling author John Maxwell states “Everything rises and falls on leadership.” His statement couldn’t be truer.
