What are the barriers that are keeping our church from being unleashed on this world?

"What are the barriers that are keeping our church from being unleashed on this world?"
I definitely have no clue to that answer as far as the church goes. FC is and has done so much. It is awesome to see and be a part of it. I believe I have some work to do though. God has definitely been growing me and stretching me lately beyond what I thought I was capable of. One great thing about myself as a Christian (that I didn't know before being a Christian) is that I can see the things that I am not good at as an opportunity to learn and grow instead of just saying that is just who I am. It may not be my gift or I might not be the best person for that task, but I can learn from it. I struggle with greeting people and meeting new people. I also struggle with inviting people. I do these things, but it feels so awkward for me. I am quiet at first until you get to know me, then you can't shut me up. You are probably seeing that. What I have been finding out lately is that it isn't just with church or ministry. Church and ministry is where I have experienced it the most this far in my life. So I know, me personally, I have to step out more from my comfort zone and I struggle with it.
A work in progress,
Betty
Thanks Leslie. The ducks are coming along okay I guess. I think we might know something later this week...I'll keep you posted.
Another word for uncomfortable could be faith Betty. You are on the right track. Our biggest barrier right now is getting our name out there as a church.
