Yesterday we talked about the importance of knowing your
neighbors in order to live missionally. I hope you were able to make at least
one connection with a neighbor yesterday. For the next 31 days make sure you're intentionally
pursuing connections with your neighbors. Your ultimate goal is to form meaningful
ongoing relationships with the people in your neighborhood.
Have you discovered Nextdoor.com yet? Nextdoor is a private
social network for your neighborhood. You can create a free profile and use the
site to meet your neighbors, organize activities, and keep the neighborhood
safe. Additionally if you setup email
notifications for Nextdoor you’ll see when a new member joins and be able to welcome
them to the neighborhood. Unlike other social networks you won’t get numerous spam-like
notifications either.
So go to Nextdoor.com and see if your neighborhood already
has a site. If not create one and start your own profile. Then invite some
neighbors to join you.
The simple steps we’ve been taking each day may seem
insignificant but overtime they’ll add up to a lifestyle of missional living.
