New Beginnings

Just One Light - Aug. 28

Two organizations very near to my heart are going through a very similar transition.  Both find themselves going through a renewal; beginning again.  And they are both trying to figure out how to attract new people in order to carry out their mission.  I desperately want to help them.  They are encouraging existing members to invite friends, but I'm not sure how to go about that.  How do you convince someone that they should participate in something brand new that they nothing about?

I just want to say:
No, this group is not for everyone, but if you knew what it was really like, you'd love it.  You'd feel just as passionate about it as I do.  But my words can never do it justice.  You just have to take the leap, try it, and trust that I'm right.

But then what happens if it's not for them? Do I risk losing their trust of my recommendations?  I suppose not, their risk isn't too high.  The two organizations I'm so vaguely making reference to are Camp Seabeck, the family camp that I attend every summer, and Wesley Fellowship, a group for college-aged people asking life's questions and giving back.

How about this:  these organizations are things that I'm really excited about and I think you would enjoy them too.  Would you care to join me?
