It sounds like you already have a relationship with your neighbors, Charlotte! Hosting a Neighborhood Cafe is only one way to get to know them. You’ve already discovered many others… a thoughtful gift, a helping hand. Your unconditional kindness is what they will remember you for.

Amy, you are a consistent encouragement and reminders, along with what God is impressing upon me. We are in an older neighborhood, and I am friends with four widow ladies, one who I believe is saved. My husband helps them with household repairs and they appreciate us. I know God is able and His Holy Spirit will speak through me. They know we are believers as we’ve given them gifts lending to our faith. Timing is a concern with my husband home evenings and weekends but mostly, I think I’m afraid of losing the relationship with these women when we have to live in close proximity. Of course, God is sovereign and can take care of that, too. We’re on a corner at the top of a hill, on a block that ends with a turn onto another street, so I could invite those on my street and around the corner. We’ve met most of them when we first moved here, and God may surprise me!

Julia, your date is on my calendar! I wish I could tell you that your neighbors won’t reject you, but I can’t. What I can tell you is that you will survive any rejection. Jesus was rejected, and we will be, too. But… if we make ONE friend… if we introduce ONE person to their Savior… that will be worth a million rejections!
