Chester/Timmis: relationships

We want to build relationships with unbelievers on their territory, but we also need to introduce them to the network of relationships that makes up the believing community.  Indeed people are often attracted to the Christian community before they are attracted to the Christian message.  And our approach to mission should involve three elements: (1) building relationships; (2) sharing the gospel message;  and (3) including people in the community.

Everyday Church, p65.
