One of the sources must be… will your guest feel welcome?
Will anyone speak to them?
Will your visitor find others friendly?
This is where the vital ministry of the third person emerges.
For, if someone is going to be made welcome and begin to feel included in a church, then they need to converse with new people.
No matter if a newbie is alongside a friend or riding solo, this visitor needs two other people alongside them.
Just one other person speaking with them can be overwhelming.
Two people is the sweet spot.
And, this is where the ministry of the third person comes in.
Even if you’re an introvert, you can be the third person. Someone else has broken the ice, you’re just expanding the network for the guest.
Adding another friendly face.
Bringing another avenue to strike up a conversation.
Widening the net of people who can make the visitor welcome, included and - in time - belong.
