BLESS
An Intentional Evangelism Initiative
BLESS is a transformative approach to prayer and evangelism, focused less on memorizing scripts and more on authentically loving our neighbors. It helps us move beyond feeling “stuck” in evangelism, encouraging a more natural, relational practice. Through five simple missional practices—Begin with prayer, Listen with care, Eat together, Serve in love, and Share the story—BLESS equips every Covenanter with practical resources to make disciples who follow Jesus, become like Jesus, and engage in His mission in their daily lives.
How Does BLESS Work?
God’s way of reaching and restoring the world has always been through blessing. These five missional practices make up the acronym BLESS and are a way to participate in the strategy God gave Abraham to reach the world. “And I will bless you…and you will be a blessing” (Genesis 12:2). As we engage these practices daily, we partner with God’s Spirit to bless those who do not know him.
Begin with Prayer
Pray for people in your life who are far from God. Ask God, “How do you want to use me to bless the people in my life?”
Listen with Care
Pay attention to people’s dreams and pain. Listen for evidence of God’s work in their lives.
Eat Together
Share meals and life with people in your life who do not know God.
Serve in Love
Be attentive to opportunities God provides you to care for people and attend to their needs.
Share the Story
Once you build a relationship and earn trust, look for ways you can share the story of how Jesus is transforming your life and the world.
