Intentional, Missional, Life...

From Felicity Dale's An Army of Ordinary People, p. 141:

"We have a friend who used to be the pastor of a legacy church in Denver. He tried an experiment. One afternoon, he sat at a coffee shop with a sign that read, "I'll buy you a cup of coffee if you let me tell you my story about God." Only one person took him up on his offer. The next day he went to a different coffee shop. This time his sign read, "I'll buy you a cup of coffee if you tell me your story about God." This time people were lining up to spend time with him. Many of them ended up in tears. most would refuse to let him buy them coffee, just thanking him profusely for listening to them."

Take a look at this commercial. This is the British version.

I wonder if people came back looking for this guy again? Would people come back looking for you?

Here are the lyrics by Starrfadu:

Do you want to lay your head on my shoulder?
I don't mind if you cry.
Sometimes we all just need to let it out.
Just let your tears run down my arm,
so I can keep them in a blue jar.
We'll drink them later, so just let it out.
Let's take a walk just to clear our heads.
I don't mind that you're holding my hand.
You say you love me, so just let it out.
Your smile is a pleasant change from before,
when you thought that you couldn't take anymore.
Sometimes we all just need to let it out.
