10 ways to be a positive and fruitful witness while you live, work and play!
1. Special Delivery - Notice when you get a new
neighbor and go to meet them. See details below
how we can help!
2. PRAY for your neighbors.
3. Dessert or Cookout - invite 1 family or all the
surrounding families and start building those
relationships.
4. Mini Collections/Drives - include your neighbors in collection for
items as we do drives at church. Let them know where it's
going and how they can help.
5. Tailgate in your driveway or clubhouse parking lot-
Get your neighbors together to enjoy a game or go to the park and create your own game!
6. Invite your neighbors to church with you. Grab lunch afterwards. Offer to pick them up.
7. Neighborhood Association Activities- Go to your neighborhood activity if you are available.
Great chance to meet your neighbors.
8. Go for a WALK - Just a simple act like going for a walk or taking the dog for a walk around the neighborhood
can help you meet people. If you don't run into anyone, start praying for each house as you pass by, just keep
your eyes open while you're walking :)
9. Go to a local High School Game- Go with your neighbor or meet someone there. You are bound
to meet someone new or see someone you haven't run into in a while.
10. Create your own opportunity around anything that you do in your life.

Kid's Hope USA Mentoring Program at Local Schools
One child, one hour, once a week...change a life!
You can be partnered with a child from Murdock Elementary or Powers Ferry Elementary for the entire 2012-2013 school year to meet with them one hour per week and show them God's Love in a tangilble way. Matches are bases on needs and time available. You only have one child and you also choose or recieve a prayer partner to pray behind the scenes for you and your child. Last year we had 18 mentors at Murdock and there was not a negative comment! It was a positive for the children, the mentors, the teachers and the parents!
Special Delivery
Do you have a new neighbor that you would like to welcome to the neighborhood and let them know about Johnson Ferry? The Outreach office will supply you with a welcome bag and information for your new neighbor. You can add to it or take it as is.
Ongoing Opportunities
Resource Needs Group
Would you like to serve a single mom or an elderly neighbor with your gifts and resources? We all need a little help sometimes and our church community can lend a hand. We will email you when someone has a need such as a specific item, a small home project, yard work or an errand.
Opportunities in Local Schools
We are partners in Education with several local schools that feed into our children and youth groups. We also serve in schools where no "official" partnership exists. If you have a heart to be on a team for your child or grandchild's school or just one that is on your heart, please call us about opportunities.
Some examples would be:
Prayer Team
Mentoring
Service projects requested by school
Volunteer team to encourage the teachers and administration
Has God laid a ministry to our community on your heart?
We believe that it is the investment in our own families and in our own neighborhoods that strengthen our church. Has God been leading you to do ministry right here in your own Jerusalem? Call to find out how we might be able to come along side you in a ministry that is within our purpose and core values.
