Most people who visit a church do not come because of a clever slogan, a polished website, or even a well-timed social media post. They come because someone they know invited them. That \u201csomeone\u201d makes all the difference. In this article, I want to look at four types of invitations\u2014C\u2070, C\u00b9, C\u00b2, and C\u00b3. The letter \u201cC\u201d refers to personal closeness. The number reflects the depth of relationship between the inviter and the invitee. The higher the number, the more effective the invitation. Not all invitations are equal. Some feel distant and impersonal. Others feel warm, trusted, and safe. Understanding these differences can help churches focus less on volume and more on relationships. When churches align their outreach with how people actually respond to invitations, evangelism becomes more natural\u2014and far more fruitful."}
