Every believer has a mission field. Who is one person God is calling you to intentionally invest in?
WHAT IS THEO?One person. Intentional steps.
Who is
your THEO?
Your THEO is someone you intentionally pray for, welcome, invest in, share Jesus with, and offer a next step.
Start in your everyday mission field—your neighborhood, workplace, school, and community. For Summer Grove, that begins here in Northwest Louisiana.
Host Them
Welcome them into your home and your life. Share a meal, listen to their story, and build a relationship.
Explain Jesus
Share who Jesus is, what He has done, and how they can respond to Him in repentance and faith.
Offer a Next Step
Invite a response. Offer to read the Bible together, answer a question, or help them take a next step toward following Jesus.
GOSPEL CONVERSATIONSFaithful sharing. God’s work.
What counts as
a gospel conversation?
An intentional conversation that explains who Jesus is and what He has done to save sinners, and invites a response.
Explain that Jesus died for our sins and rose again, and that we receive new life through repentance and faith in Him.
Inviting someone to church, praying with them, and talking about God can open a door. A gospel conversation moves through that door to the good news of Jesus.
A person does not have to make a decision for it to count. We celebrate faithful sharing and trust God with the response.
