Re: Should You Do Outreach ONLY in the area you li
People get attracted by NEW. There are many ways to attract people to other churches and pastors are using them. I can imagine the frustration of a local church and Pastor who loses a bunch of members to another church that installed a coffee bar.

And again while everyone is pointing fingers at the one church who lost members why do we approve of the cut throat tactics of churches to take members from OTHER churches rather than win new souls to the Lord? To the LORD...not to their church.
