There's much to learn from this information. It's very telling. While our hope is that others will certainly find authentic biblical community, I think we also need to consider that maybe the "end all" of our goal is not necessarily to just "invite to church". Seems to me that the reason a personal invite works for neighbors, family members, and friends is because there has already been a trusting relationship forged. That doesn't happen overnight... nor does it happen through a cold-call knock on a door asking them to come. Our posture with people may be the most significant thing we have.
