Re: Should You Do Outreach ONLY in the area you li
what is the point in even having a local church in a local city? Presumably to reach THAT city.
On the one hand I can see how some would find fault with the pastor of the second city. But at the same time how about the pastor of the first city? Would he be ok if the folks from the second city went and canvased his city?
Here is my problem. The church is supposed to be in unity, working together not against each other. Rather than helping each other reach lost souls we compete.
There was a thread here with a poster saying another Apostolic church actively pursued the members of his church to change churches. I think that is absurd to do.
