We Need More Andrews

Mark 1:17 declares: “Come, follow me,” Jesus said, “and I will make you fishers of men.” This is what God has called us to do. We are called to be connectors. Connecting Points builds an atmosphere where connecting can take place. A great example of this is the story of Andrew found in John chapter one. Andrew believed that Jesus was the “Lamb of God” and arranged a meeting between Jesus and his brother, Simon. This connection literally changed the course of history. Simon became Peter and the world was impacted by his ministry. We have no written record that Andrew ever preached a sermon or worked a miracle but he did bring Peter to Jesus. Only in heaven will we know how many came to Christ through the preaching and overall ministry of Peter. The point we want to get is that it was Andrew who provided an atmosphere for the connection to take place. Andrew was the connecting point. Connecting points build an atmosphere where people can get connected to Jesus. In a very real sense, connecting point leaders become the Andrews of our day.
