BLESS:

People Are the Prize

Movement begins not with a program, but with prayer, presence, and people. Before we open the Bible with someone, we start by loving them well. That’s the heart of BLESS, a practical approach to live in your identity on mission in everyday life, through relationships.

BLESS helps us walk with the people God has already placed around us: our friends, neighbors, coworkers, and family.
Each letter represents an easy, everyday rhythm you can live out:

B – Begin with Prayer
Ask God: “Who are You inviting me to love and walk with spiritually?”

L – Listen with Care
Be present. Let people feel heard and valued.

E – Eat Together
Share a meal. Slow down. Build trust.
“People aren’t projects—they’re God’s prize.

S – Serve with Love
Meet real needs in practical, Spirit-led ways.

S – Share Your Story (and the Gospel)
Tell how Jesus has changed your life. Be real. Be open.

As trust grows, spiritual conversations naturally open the door to reading Scripture together through Discovery Bible Study (DBS), a
simple, reproducible way to explore God's Word, listen together, and take small steps of obedience.

And this is how Disciple-Making Movements begin, through
ordinary people, living intentionally, and inviting others along.
