Start a Local Agape Moms
This week I talked with another amazing mama about starting a local Agape Moms in her community, and as we talked, it reminded me a lot of my story, and I think it is many of your stories too.
This mama is having a hard time finding community in her new town. Having to drive 30 minutes this way and that, some Bible studies full, other groups not very welcoming of moms with noisy babies, I related to her frustration and said that I had been there, and out of that tension, Agape Moms was born.
We also talked about how Agape Moms missional communities are so much MORE than just a formal bible study, we are an on going family that does life together in a “bring your mess” and noisy kids atmosphere. While we model our values after the early church in Acts, we live as an arm of the church, reaching out and creating the space for women who are not connected with Jesus or a church body to come explore Him within our family of God for the first time, eventually bringing them back into the fuller church.
Living on mission for Jesus in our everyday mom lives unleashes Agape Moms who already know Jesus to have the space to follow God’s call to each of us to make disciples while using our unique gifts, as we are going, it’s seamless. And we find our personal walks with Jesus explode when we take the focus off just personal spiritual growth and onto loving others and going after the lost sheep, for the glory of God.
We pray harder and dig deeper when we begin to look at those God has placed in our lives around us as the very people we are called to love, serve and point back to Jesus.
