SE is hitting the STREETS!!

In Luke 14:23, we are commanded to "Go out into the highways and hedges, and compel them to come in, that my house may be filled." Paul also told the Ephesian elders in Acts 20:20, "And how I kept back nothing that was profitable unto you, but have showed you, and have taught you publicly, and from house to house." These passages make it very clear that Christians are not only supposed to take the Gospel to the private homes of the lost, but also to the public streets. We are called to share God's word with the WORLD. So as part of our efforts to REACH others, we are going to begin hosting SE Door-to-Door events regularly! We currently have events scheduled for DC and Vegas, but in order to reach as many women as possible, in as many cities as possible, we will need YOUR help! If you would like to volunteer to serve as a "SE City REACH Coordinator" (SE -CRC), please let us know and we can put YOUR city on the SE map! You will be the one to host the event in your city. We will provide you with an outline as to how the event is to be conducted and you will serve as our contact person in your city. This way as sisters RSVP, they can contact you to find out where you all will be meeting. We must have a designated CRC in a city, in order to host a Door-to-Door there. If interested in becoming a CRC for your city, please email us at sistersevolve@gmail.com!

Our 1st SE Reach Door-to-door events will be held
THIS Saturday, April 28, 2012 from 11:00am until 1:00pm
in Washington DC and Las Vegas, NV!!



 
Door-to-door:

We will meet for two hours and canvass the selected neighborhood in pairs of two. We will wear our SE T-shirts [or pink & gray] and flood the neighborhood with SistersEVOLVE!! To GOD be the glory!!! We will go door-to-door, with SE fliers and business cards, informing the women and young girls in the neighborhood of WHO we are, WHAT we are doing, and HOW they can join us and get connected. We will also offer prayer for any who would so desire. This is going to be an awesome opportunity to spread the word about SistersEVOLVE in your community, but MORE than that, this is an opportunity to share JESUS and His love, in your

1st SE MiniMEETS!!! History in the Making...

Our first MiniMeets were held in Las Vegas and Washington DC, on Saturday 3/31, and they were a HUGE success!!! To GOD be the Glory!!



My heart is overjoyed from the outpouring of genuine LOVE that took place during our Meets. God truly had HIS way. To say we were blessed would be an understatement! We talked, we shared, we PRAYED, we praised, we laughed, we cried, we confessed, we grew, we healed, we let go, we committed, we hugged, we encouraged, we supported, we challenged, we evolved, and one of our sisters even professed Jesus Christ as her Lord & Savior and invited Him into her heart to rule and to reign in her life [PRAISE GOD!!] - we LOVED.
PURPOSEFUL - EVOLUTIONARY - DIALOGUE at its finest.
Our topic was "Love"[the first fruit of the spirit].

Galatians 5:22 "But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, forbearance, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness and self-control..."
We asked the question: "What is LOVE?" ............. And boy, did God answer it!!!!!! He revealed Himself to us in a MIGHTY way. We gained wisdom and understanding, we came to know more of God, and we realized that in order for us to SHARE God's love, we have to first know it for ourselves, because Whoever does not love does not know God, because God is love. 1 John 4:8. My heart is so FULL. ♥

Good Friday - "The Greatest Act of LOVE"

For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life.  John 3:16
What a time to be in the midst of a LOVE study!  (Join our month-long scripture-based study of LOVE here!) ... This weekend, as we celebrate GOOD FRIDAY, we honor and show reverence to God for the sacrifice made by sending His son to die on the cross for us, while we were yet in sin, that we would be saved... AND we celebrate the resurrection of Jesus Christ!! 
There is no greater act of LOVE than that displayed by Jesus Christ on the cross.
 

John 10:13 “I am the good shepherd. The good shepherd gives His life for the sheep.

"This righteousness is given through faith in Jesus Christ to all who believe. There is no difference between Jew and Gentile, for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God, and all are justified freely by his grace through the redemption that came by Christ Jesus. God presented Christ as a sacrifice of atonement, through the shedding of his blood—to be received by faith." Romans 3:22-25
 

His sacrifice is such a tremendous act of love, and it goes even deeper than Jesus giving His life, in an unimaginable manner - but to do so, for a people who were yet in sin, people who hated Him - and to do so willingly... For He so loved His Father in Heaven that although if He had His way, Jesus would not have chosen that fate for himself - He was willing. He LOVED his father, with ALL of his heart and that love was displayed by his "not my way, but YOUR way" obedience. Jesus expressed to His father, “Father, if you are willing, take this cup from me; yet not my will, but yours be done.” Luke 22:42

Sisters, THIS is the love that we too, should have for our Father in Heaven - a "not my will - but YOURS" love. A love, where no matter the circumstances, we are WILLING. A love where our ACTIONS align with our profession of faith - even in the most challenging of times. A love where we KNOW that His plan is greater than ours. An "it's not about us" love.
“You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, with all your soul, with all your strength, and with all your mind,and your neighbor as yourself." Luke 10:27

In honor of the sacrifice made for us on the cross, let us meditate on this verse this weekend... let us focus and search our own hearts...Ask yourself this question, "Am I loving God with ALL my heart, soul, strength, and with ALL my mind???

DIG IN! (to God's word): Do your homework. Search the word and share verses here, that speak to the sacrifice Jesus made for us on the cross - the deepest act of LOVE.
