Many consider themselves loners or the noncommittal type. We like to say we are non confrontational or neutral on most ideals and topics. We can be those, but in order to have a good balance and even adventure to our lives we must occasionally engage.
Business and Churches of course are to intentionally engage; the local and global community. To engage is to commit to involvement or committing our full attention and efforts toward a person or cause.
Christians have received commission to engage the circle of life He has placed us in or sent you to. The directive was to "GO" not wait for them to come. Put another way ; not to "come and see." but rather; Go and tell. Both Creativity and compassion empowered by the Spirit of God brings unlimited engagement opportunities.

- prayer and help to single parents
- class for good life choices
- providing food and/or school supplies providing clothes.
- prayer walking the neighborhood/ telling the Good News of Christ's love!!
