Mark 1:17 NIV
17 “Come, follow me,” Jesus said, “and I will send you out to fish for people.”
INVITE: Jesus invites us to be part of His mission to reach others. This call is not just for the disciples but for all of us who follow Him. Think about how you can be a fisher of men in your daily life. By inviting others to church, you are participating in Jesus’ work, helping others to discover the love and truth of God.
