LIKE MATTHEW
Our ministry is modeled after Luke chapter 5, where a businessman named Matthew, obeying Jesus' challenge to "Follow me!," hosted a dinner party. His peers - "tax collectors and sinners" - were the guests, and Jesus was the speaker. We can assume that many came to know the Lord that evening.

Like Matthew, host couples in a community invite their peers to an outreach dinner party in a non-threatening setting such as a spacious home, country club, or hotel. The speaker - a business or professional leader - shares his/her personal testimony of the difference Jesus Christ has made in his/her life and work. At the end of the evening, guests are sensitively given the opportunity to pray and receive Christ. Comment cards reflect that 30 percent or more indicate that they receive Christ on such an evening, or would like to have more information about how to know Him personally.
