They will meet him face to face through the Word, and like the many people in the gospel accounts, will leave captivated, loved, healed, challenged, flustered and left groping for answers. You will have a bird's eye view as you lead your friend or group of friends into meeting Jesus. You may not feel this right now, but they are exactly what our friends need. GIGs are so attractive to the non-churched because they feel genuinely loved because someone is thinking about them. Many have come to a GIG over the past few years merely because the GIG structure is for non-Christians exclusively.
GIGs Are Accessible.
It is easy for a non-Christian to come to a spiritual discussion group. In a GIG, however, they tend to feel very comfortable, relaxed and therefore prove way more open to God speaking to them in the Word. GIGs Aren't Threatening. In the GIG, our non-Christian friend doesn't feel like a spiritual midget when Susie Christian sitting next to them in a regular Bible study quotes the prophet Nahum. Nor do our friends want to vomit when Joey Christian rambles on and on about some distant truth he has been spoon fed for decades that has no relevant meaning or power in his life.
