So where do I find these searchers? Not sure. My feeling is to keep on keeping on. It feels right to pursue this line even though my head tells me that in less than two months we need to be up and running and it's not looking likely. So what I've done is put up an ad in my beloved library. The library is one of those central meeting points in the village. Mums and Dads come in with or without their children. Old and young pop in and there's free coffee and tea on a Friday afternoon. It's a focal point for the community... The library manager will look at my ad tomorrow to see if it's suitable and hopefully put it up. Am I being faithful to scripture here? Well, Paul goes into the market place and engages with the locals who on the face of it seem to be strangers. He adapts his message accordingly by reasoning with the Stoics and Epicureans. More importantly perhaps, he engages with the culture of those he wants to reach...so into the library I go! Provided it's legal and not immoral, I'll do whatever it takes to see if I can get a few intrepid souls to give this a go. My concern is that people will think it's a process evangelism course and will givbe it a very wide birth.
