When people ask about your VITA bottle, what do you say? Do you start rambling off all of the high-quality features that it has or how it's the only one of its kind? Not quite. These are discipleship bottles, a tool for breaking the ice. They help you connect with others. Since it is LIFE bottle, a great opener is asking others about their life. Any interesting stories? What makes them who they are? We all want connection and community. Once someone has opened up, you have no idea how the relationship could develop. Maybe they need you, maybe you need them.

At the end of the day we are simply spreading the Good News, the gospel. That God always had a redemption plan, that death is freedom from this life of evil, and that we are invited back into union with love Himself. Please don't judge or start correcting, but instead be kind. Do the unexpected. We are to look different from the world. God loves everyone and calls us to love them, too. How can we serve others? What does this person need? We can't force people to believe, because that's the Lord's work; He is already pursuing them. We may plant the seed, but ultimately He does the growing.
