Love Your Neighbor Challenge - Amy Lively

Share the love in your neighborhood this February by accepting the Love Your Neighbor Challenge!

The challenge progressively takes you closer to your neighbor day by day. Wrapped in prayer, you’ll take small steps toward a deeper relationship with the people God has placed around you. 

Your goal is to make natural connections that can lead to spiritual conversations.

Each challenge features innovative ideas complete with suggested scripts, online tools, and adaptations for both introverts and extroverts.

Each tip costs absolutely nothing to do (like praying for your neighbors or delivering a compliment) or is very inexpensive and affordable (like printing a card or sharing a cup of tea). The tools are suitable for all generations, from children to seniors.

These are simple, effective and powerful ways you and your family can show a neighbor you care.

Take a tip and make it your own, adapt it for your personality and community, your schedule and your family’s vibe.

Take your time and settle in to love your neighbor for the long haul.

Now get ready to love your neighbor in a whole new, never-weird way.

Let us know how it goes! Comment here or on the daily social posts.

Let’s get going, our neighbors are waiting!

    The Synagogue on Your Street - Amy Lively

    Heaven: When Faith Becomes Sight - Amy Lively

    How can we know the truth about what comes next? In this 7-session video-based Bible study workbook, Jennifer explores the subject of Heaven from a biblical perspective. But… only one in five of your neighbors goes to church, and those who do attend many different denominations. Your neighbors probably don’t speak “Christianese” around their dinner tables, so phrases like “the Lord laid it on my heart” or “having my devotions” or “intercede in prayer” sound foreign.
