Thinking about the concept of Andrew Partners, it’s good to remember that the first person Andrew brought to Jesus was his own brother.
“One of the two which heard John speak, and followed him, was Andrew, Simon Peter's brother. He first findeth his own brother Simon, and saith unto him, `We have found the Messiah, which is, being interpreted, the Christ.’” -John 1:40-41
I’m sure all of us have sisters, brothers, uncles, aunts, nieces, nephews, cousins, along with children and spouses that need the Lord. We know them intimately—for better or worse, and they know us intimately—for better or worse.
Who else has such strong motivation to pray for them regularly? Who better knows many of their fears and hurts? If we don’t lift up our family members who will?

This is such a perfect time to talk about sharing our faith with our families with the holidays approaching. That is the area I struggle with the most. We have many family members who are unsaved. We even have some who are attending and involved with a church, but I am uncertain of their salvation. I would love to hear some suggestions on how to open the door of communication there. It is easy to talk about the weather, sports, work...but what a waste of breath! These are people that we only see once or twice a year and we need to share something with them that has eternal value!
