Second chance invite

Inviting people to church, a youth group or the Christian activities at your school for the first time can be hard.

It can be awkward. You might get shot down. In flames.

But I think there's an ask which is much more difficult.

The invite to something which they have already experienced.

Inviting a friend to the evening service at your church after they came previously and it didn't rock their world.
Inviting a kid back to your youth group after they stopped attending a year ago.
Inviting a teen to the lunchtime group at school, knowing that they tried it once and thought it was lame.

The second chance ask has a higher degree of difficulty.

Once someone has tasted something and decided they don't like it, convincing them to give it a second chance is much tougher.

But it is still worth making the ask...
