Our **Who Is Your One?** focus was never meant to be just a “rah-rah” moment or a sermon series we did last spring. This is an ongoing encouragement and challenge for us as a church family — to stay genuinely concerned about the people we come into contact with **every single day** who may not yet have a personal relationship with Jesus, and/or who don’t have a church family to call home. That’s why we’re using these orange ping pong balls. Take one. Write **one name** on it. That’s it. We don’t have to figure this out on our own or put pressure on ourselves to pick the “right” person. Instead, we simply pause and allow the **Holy Spirit** to bring that one person to mind — the one He has already prepared and placed in our lives. Then we pray for **our own** — the person God has given *us*. We write their name on the ping pong ball as a tangible reminder of our commitment to pray for them and look for ways to lovingly invite them. The **white** ping pong balls represent this beautiful first step: **praying over a specific individual**. Some of us are in that season right now, just like Stacy on the display. Others have already invited their one and are now praying they will visit soon. And some of us are here today because someone else faithfully prayed for *us* and invited us. Every story starts somewhere. ![](https://churchusercontent.com/7dea5196-4eba-4077-b604-beade067734c/Ping_Pong_Balls_2026-07-06T16-55-57-782Z.png) Let’s be honest — the enemy would love to tempt us into spiritual apathy right here. He wants us to think, *“It’s just a ping pong ball. This doesn’t really matter.”* But the ball itself is nothing. **The name written on it** is everything. That name represents a real person who is deeply loved by the Lord — someone created in His image, someone Jesus died for, someone who matters eternally. They may not yet have a personal relationship with Jesus, or they may be missing the joy and support of a church family. When we pray for them and invite them, we are partnering with God in something that has eternal weight. And here’s the beautiful part that encourages me so much: **They may never walk through the doors of Ringgold or our other campus.** They might end up at another church across town or even in another city. But the Kingdom of God is still advanced. Heaven still rejoices. One more person is brought into relationship with Jesus and connected to His people. That’s a win for the whole body of Christ — and that’s what we’re after. This is how the kingdom grows: one name, one prayer, one simple act of love at a time. Jesus said, ***“Go and make disciples of all nations…*****”** (Matthew 28:19, NLT). It starts with *your* one — the one you see every day. So this week, take a moment. Let the Holy Spirit bring someone to mind. Write their name on a white ping pong ball. Keep it where you’ll see it often, and pray. Then watch what God does with your simple, faithful “yes.” You are here because someone invited you. Now it’s our turn to pass it on — for the sake of the one, and for the glory of the King.
