The last missional rhythm, as we seek to BLESS others, is to share with them our story. The greatest gift we can give to another is the gift of the Gospel. The Gospel is the good news of who Jesus is and what He has done in our lives. The best way to share this news is by sharing with someone our story (testimony) of what Jesus means to us personally. When a person has experienced our prayers, our listening, our fellowship, and our service they will be open to truly listening to the greatest BLESSING that God has given and that is a personal relationship with Jesus Himself.

The next missional rhythm, as we seek to BLESS others, is to serve them. To serve another person is to put their needs ahead of our own. We see Jesus engage man with leprosy by giving him a double blessing. First he reached out touched him and then healed him. This requires a mindset that prioritizes others and makes a choice to help other with compassion and generosity. It requires us to look beyond just our own needs and cares and to be of tangible BLESSING in the life of another just as the Son of Man came not to be served but to serve and give His life as a ransom for many.

The next missional rhythm, as we seek to BLESS others, is to make time and space to eat together. Throughout the ministry of Jesus food played a large role in how He would spend time with others. In our culture the heart of hospitality is one that as lessened in its priority but offers a great reward for those who engage it. Very few things communicate a heart that is open like a shared meal around a table, a backyard cookout and the simple, yet profound, gesture of a hand, heart and home open to others.
