Prayer, Evangelism and Worship

There is strength in numbers. By coordinating evangelism efforts, churches can share resources, planning and the excitement of large-sale mobilization. The latest such effort for Southern Baptists is God's Plan for Sharing (GPS). It's a 10-year effort with the "audacious vision", as NAMB's Jerry Pipes calls it, of every believer sharing and every person in North America hearing the gospel message by 2020. The first local GPS campaign, known as Across Hawaii Pacific, already is well under way. Associations and churches are gearing up to touch hundreds and thousands of households in March with a targeted media campaign, prayerwalking and distribution of packets containing Find It Here drop-in pieces and invitations to Easter services. The effort will culminate in five weeks of follow-up with the new believers. Sample Time Table Sign up here What's the Committment?

“Follow peace with all men, and holiness, without which no man shall see the Lord:” (Hebrews 12:14) How do I start witnessing? Who do I share Jesus to? Does evangelism ever stop just because there is no evangelism event in the church? If Jesus meant that we be a witness for him constantly, then there shouldn’t be any pressure representing him before others. If it is to be a lifestyle, then it’s only a pressure if we cease to live for Jesus. Evangelism becomes an overflow. The how, who and when are addressed easily as you grow richly in Christ. With your constant relationship with Christ here are some things you won’t have to struggle with when it comes to witnessing: 1. Is this the one? The sad picture of evangelism is asking “is this the person to share to?” You are to shine your light to all. Everyone is a candidate to eternal life. No pressure evangelism doesn’t ask, we assume the whole world needs the light. Let your daily interaction be the basis of who to share to. I was in...
