SURVIVAL TIP #2

TIP #2: Be intentional about letting your new church know that you care, that they are important to you.

Your life as a PW may thrive or fail largely based on whether or not people know that you care about them. Every PW's personality and expression is different, and that's okay.

So if you're shy, you don't have to become a social butterfly, and if you're sanguine you don't have to morph into an organizational genius.

Find your own way to let people know you care. Listen, write encouraging cards or emails, text them, give a friendly hug - however it fits you personally. It doesn't have to be fancy or time-consuming, just genuine and real.

You'll be amazed at how people will respond positively just to knowing that they matter to you. And it will strengthen your PHs influence as well.
