Suitable Church Visitor?

This past Sunday we were thrilled to have 7 first time visitors come to church along with 3 second time visitors. A number of our regulars were missing and so we didn't break any attendance records but it was great to see all the visitors.

One of the people that came was "Boy". M, one of our church members, brought him. M has met Boy several times at the restaurant that M works at. Although they don't know each other well, M asked if we wanted to try coming to church. Boy replied, sure. After services, M drove Boy home and returned for Antioch's prayer meeting. M pulled me aside and said that he just found out that Boy lives with a girl and drinks alot. Is it okay that he brought Boy to church? I smiled and reassured M that wasn't a problem and told him to continue inviting people no matter who they are. Jesus ministered to people that had problems, not the ones that thought they had everything together. Pray that Boy will return again.
