“We generally love what we talk about, and talk about what we love”, says Nathan Lutz, a mentor of folks on the way to the people in the unreached world. Nathan says, “My dad began to share Christ with me… he would pick up people in the car and it was a long drive to Swaziland. That became a model for me.

You don’t build relationships to share; his love works through you.”
