What if the fountain of youth isn’t a legend, but a promise that runs deeper than time itself? We start with a vivid story about stumbling on a spring that reverses decay, then follow that image to the heart of Christian hope: Jesus as living water, the only source that truly satisfies. From there, we turn to John 1 and watch Andrew do something beautifully ordinary after meeting Jesus—he finds his brother. That simple move, rooted in joy and urgency, frames how the gospel travels best: through trusted relationships, honest words, and open doors.
We also draw courage from D. L. Moody’s example. He rented pews, welcomed “scholars” no one wanted, and even moved into a saloon on Sundays to make room. The result was a church with a handwritten promise over the entrance: strangers and the poor are welcome, and the seats are free. That open-handed vision challenges our comfort and animates our mission. If we believe we’ve found the source of eternal life, we won’t hide it under the sod of our routines—we’ll carry cups of living water to the people we love.
There’s a sober edge, too. Revelation 20 uses the same word “found” to describe names written or not written in the Lamb’s book of life. The contrast clarifies our message: this isn’t a lifestyle upgrade; it’s a rescue. We invite you to consider Christ, receive the gospel, and then, like Andrew, begin with those closest to you. We also share practical ways to start conversations and point friends to clear resources that explain the good news simply.
