Christians throughout the world have learned how to share their faith using Michael Frost's BELLS method in their everyday lives. Surprising, ordinary, and effective, the routines of a lifestyle of evangelism are:

  • We BLESS people, both inside and outside the church

  • We intimately LEARN Christ as our leader and model for making disciples
  • We see ourselves as missionaries SENT by God to everywhere life takes us

A very helpful and short (in a good way) summary of Frost's "BELLS" habits. These missional habits will help Christians as individuals and faith communities engage with their communities in faith-filled ways. What was particularly helpful was the fact that these weren't just "active" disciplines. Included were what might traditionally be called "spiritual" disciplines - listening to the Spirit and learning about Christ. Including these two disciplines, in particular, really connected them with the more "active" disciplines (blessing three people, eating with neighbours). I'd recommend this for both individual reading and group study. It's more than a church program, this is about developing life-long missional habits for the sake of the kingdom of God.
