OPERATION ANDREW
By Dr. Billy Graham
“Andrew then went to find his brother … and he brought [him] to meet Jesus.” —John 1:41–42, TLB
Look Around where you live, work, or go to school—this is your mission field. Make a list of names of individuals you know who need Jesus Christ, and commit to pray for the people on your list regularly.
Look Upbecause God changes people through prayer. Pray each day for those on your list, that God will give you opportunities to share His love with them.
Look Outfor ways to cultivate friendships with each person on your list. Spend time with them. An invitation to dinner or a sporting event will build friendships, which can open the way to talk about Christ. Remember: don’t preach. Listen and be a good friend.
Look Forward and begin to talk with each person on your list about watching a television program or a Billy Graham TV Special, going to the Billy Graham Library, reading a book, going to church, or attending an event such as a Crusade or Festival with you. Choose a specific date, pray, and invite them.
Look Afterthose who respond to Christ or even begin to show interest in the Gospel, for they need your encouragement. Continue to love and pray for those who do not respond.
