MAVERICK
EVANGELIZATION
I aspire to proclaim the gospel not where Christ has already been named... – Romans 15:20
A few years ago some, my friends and I came together to make a wild
idea come true: Put up a different kind of inspirational gathering so
that we can invite all our friends whom we haven’t been able to convince
to attend a regular prayer meeting. The ideas started flowing…
“Let’s have small tables with chips and overflowing coffee so people
can converse over a snack. Let’s sing popular secular songs that
complement the preaching. Let’s have a small stage where the singers,
musicians and preacher sit on bar stools so that it gives a relaxed
atmosphere.”
Thus, Light Thursdays was born. Our theme was “Because God Chills.”
Many non-Churchgoers were overwhelmingly grateful for this unique
Catholic gathering where they found God in a non-conventional way. A
number of them even called it their “home.” Check out what’s happening
with us on Facebook/ BGC Light Thursdays
I believe God honors maverick efforts for the good, no matter what the
results are. Because of this, my friends and I continue to find fresh
ways to share the Gospel to those who haven’t heard it. George Tolentino Gabriel (george.g@svrtv.com)
Reflection: Are you having difficulty sharing Jesus to someone? Maybe you just need a new approach.
Lord, may I never grow tired of sharing Your Good News.
St. Nicholas Travelic and Companions, pray for us.
