WANNA COME?

I have been thinking today of how those two words really did change my whole life. In the context I'm remembering them, they were spoken to me by one of the boys I had been hanging out with on a winter afternoon in 1962. Dave Paton was explaining why he wouldn't be around that evening and told us he was going to be at his church youth group instead.

Then came the fateful question - Wanna come?

I said Yes and I went and that became a pivotal point in my life.

Because Dave asked me, I went to his youth group.

Then I went to his church.

There I became a Christian.

I eventually went to Bible College.

There I met my wife.

I became a pastor.

I eventually moved to the USA.

I planted Church At The Movies.

And all that hinges on a two-word question that isn't even good grammar!
None of it would have happened if the invitation had not been given.
Whose life may that question change this Christmas?

Why not try it out and see?
