When I first came to you, dear brothers and sisters, I didn’t use lofty words and impressive wisdom to tell you God’s secret plan.
For I decided that while I was with you I would forget everything except Jesus Christ, the one who was crucified.
I came to you in weakness—timid and trembling.
And my message and my preaching were very plain.
Rather than using clever and persuasive speeches, I relied only on the power of the Holy Spirit.
(1 Corinthians 2:1-4 NLT)
Take a look at my last post. You'll notice that I was over the moon back then when I had a glimpse of having group in the workplace , when I saw an open door, when I saw how God amazingly do it.
Before, I was just designing my "invitation card" like this:
And Ta- daaaa! It's really happening now!

I was praying and asking Daddy (God) last week what I should share to our group in the workplace. And I am reminded of the most important message of all - The Gospel. I believe that it's the beginning and the foundation of this journey called Christianity.
We started at the first Wednesday of May and it continued.
We met at Mcdonalds then in a food gallery. That's where I had a privilege to share the Gospel to the girls.Really praying and now, I'm declaring that this wonderful seed in their heart will continue to grow.
Indeed, the joy of discipleship is one of my favorite feelings and moments. I think I'll do this for a lifetime!

Having a Victory Group in the workplace is a dream come true for me and an obeyed command from Daddy God (He asked me to for more clearly last August 2015 and it's what, May 2016?). As His witness we just can't help but share what we saw and experienced. It's not easy but it's worth it.
Here are some advice for those who have a heart to reach our their offices too :
♥ Pray and Fast. Hear from God. Really seek His will for you, for them and for the group.
Really cry out to Daddy. More than you, He's the one who really wants to reach out your officemates and friends!
♥ Try to have a spiritual sister or brother to co-lead the group with you, pray with you etc. It's really amazing how God let me know Heidi. She is my co-teacher who also have the heart to reach out to our co-teachers! Prior meeting Heidi, Daddy also let me know Ate Angelica. She really encouraged me to have a group in the workplace!
♥ Be ready. Set the time, place and duration. An opportunity to invite will come and you'll just know it's God who moved! Suddenly, you'll just be surprised that your influence increased and people will just come and talk to you. But then, have faith with action. Be engaging, be the one to talk to them too. Initiate. Be intentional. And don't forget! Discipleship is a relationship.
♥ Believe in this. One of the primary way to make disciples is really a small group because here we don't feel alone with our faith. We can share our lives to others. We don't have to fight alone. We are encouraged also with the prayers, faith and praise reports of others. Believe that it can be used by God to share the most imporatant message of all --- that is the Gospel and grow a disciple!
Actually, I'm also noting this to myself! I'm not an expert in this and I know only God made and can make things happen!
I declare that our VGs will help of officemates to have spiritual growth and a deeper relationship with Christ!
Every company. Every Offices for Jesus! :)
