2 FRANGELISM Andrew, Simon Peter s brother, was one of the two who heard what John had said and who had followed Jesus. The first thing Andrew did was to find his brother Simon and tell him, We have found the Messiah (that is, the Christ). And he brought him to Jesus. Jesus looked at him and said, You are Simon son of John. You will be called Cephas (which, when translated, is Peter). John 1:40-42 Join us in being obedient to the Great Commission by sharing your faith with 5 Friends, Relatives, Associates & Neighbors each week who are Unsaved, Unsure, or Unchurched. Invite them to be with you in Worship, Wednesday in the Word, or Church School. Our prayer is that they will come to know Jesus and commit to following Him daily.
