Key Takeaways
1) The most essential principle to effectively connect with your neighbor is to start with intentional prayer. Having a systematic, consistent prayer guide that you’ve committed to BEFORE reaching out is so helpful.
2) Front Yard Mission intentionally moves your activities from the backyard to the front yard to create opportunities to start a conversation.
3) Take advantage of seasonal events on the calendar as a way of connecting with your neighbors.
4) There will be some wins and some losses in your efforts to reach your neighborhood. The key to effectively developing relationships is consistently loving them over a long period of time.
