Some of you are aware of the 3rd places concept. Simply put, the first two places in our lives are occupied by work and family. 3rd places are where we chose to spend our discretionary time. Many believers spend most of their 3rd places time with other believers. I certainly love to be around other Christians. However, I think if all of us who name the name of Christ would intentionally get involved in the lives of people who don't yet know Christ, we could make a major difference for Christ and His kingdom.

For me, coaching has always opened up the door for ministry in 3rd places. What about you? What are you interested in that could be used of God to help people discover the truth of Christ? What if all Christians began to intentionally chose to hang out in 3rd places in order to fulfill the Great Commission? Just something to think about.

    I find it so interesting and wonderful that we have the same views and have done similar things in this regard, It is truly amazing the effect we as Christians can have on the world outside of the Church. We truly become beacons of light as we are so closely watched, yet the Power of the Holy spirit allows us to be so usefull in spreading the good news
