Levi invited Jesus and his disciples to his home as dinner guests, along with many tax collectors and other disreputable sinners. (There were many people of this kind among Jesus’ followers.)
(Mark 2:15).
There are some church growth strategies that target a certain demographic. That is not the way Jesus worked. The Lord drew people from all ages and classes. His group was made up of broken people. In fact, He said only those who recognize their brokenness can find the life He came to give us. He wasn't about numbers, He was about hearts.
We can learn from Jesus. Look for hurting people and tell them about the One who identifies with their pain and wants to make them whole again. They make the very best disciples.
