My friend, Melanie, has invited young women into her home for the past two years for meals and short Bible study lessons. Over a hot breakfast every Thursday morning they engage in lively conversation while they learn how to make biscuits, organize a kitchen, and cultivate Christian friendships.

My neighbor, Wayne, joins a group of men at a fast-food restaurant every Friday morning. After a devotional, they pray, eat, laugh, and enjoy fellowship.

When we walk in the light of Jesus, we find joy in the company of other believers. We can share a skill we’ve learned, invite a friend to Bible study, offer to pray for specific needs, or simply listen with compassion to someone facing challenges.
