Hi Everyone We did an outreach last month (January 2015), where a group of us went out to the streets of Johannesburg, South Africa (where I live, by the way ). We took the above mentioned letter, placed them in envelopes with “God’s Love Letter to You” written on it. Now, I really encourage everyone to try this - so here's what we did:

We then went to a bus stop and parking lot, and we started to distribute them. We broke up in groups of two, and split up. It’s best to do this with someone else, and not to go out alone – this is just a safety precaution. My friend and I then approached people, beginning the conversation with why we’re there: We told them that we’re part of a church, and that we’re just going about telling everyone how much God loves them. We then said what we felt was on God’s heart for that specific person, asked if they wanted prayer and then gave them the letter. We then asked them if they wanted to give their lives to Jesus Christ. If they said yes – we would pray a “Salvation Prayer” with them, and then tell them about a church in the area they could join. If they said no, we would just smile and bid them a good day (don’t get discouraged when this happens – it will happen – just keep moving forward and tell people about Jesus). Pray for everyone who wasn’t ready to accept Jesus, that God work in their hearts and draw them close to Him. Pray that they accept Him into their hearts.

Now, don’t be limited to doing only the above mentioned things. Because you’re depending on God to talk through you, a lot of different things happen, and almost every encounter with a new person goes differently. Go out in confidence, trusting in God, and you’ll be surprised at what He might do.
The letter is there to give to everyone you encounter. Give the letter to those who were open to you, and Jesus Christ – but also give it to those who weren’t as open. Some people, who weren’t as open to you, might still take the letter because, well, that seems like the polite thing to do. This is good. We want this, because the letter is given for two reasons:

For those who accept Jesus: So that their love for Him can be reignited.
For those who don’t accept Jesus: So that they might be tempted to read the letter, and change their mind about not accepting Him. God might still catch their hearts when they read the letter.
For this reason the content of the letter must really be God’s heart - how He feels about us. I specifically love this letter because it catches the heart of God in a very true, and heart-scorching, way. You can read the letter here – please use this letter for an outreach – it touches almost everyone who reads it:
