The Whole Armour of God Ephesians 6 The right footwear 15 As shoes for your feet put on whatever will make you ready to proclaim the gospel of peace. 16 With all of these, take the shield of faith, with which you will be able to quench all the flaming arrows of the evil one. 17 Take the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God. “The harvest is plentiful, but the labourers are few; therefore ask the Lord of the harvest to send out labourers into his harvest 4 Carry no purse, no bag, no sandals; and greet no one on the road. 5 Whatever house you enter, first say, ‘Peace to this house!’ 6 And if anyone is there who shares in peace, your peace will rest on that person; but if not, it will return to you. (Luke 10)

Do we put people off and scare them away
Ambush… Gorse bush… Burning Bush
Manna in the wilderness…. A little thought and consideration goes a long way
Do we know what we are looking for?
It’s mission Jim… but not as we’ve always done it.
Well meant…. But in the wrong place and time Cast your nets over the other side…. In other words…. Fish somewhere else and in other ways!
