Shared Resource on Evangelism

On a meeting last March 25-27, 2013 with Western States Director of Evangelism, we were challenged to come up with a list of resources that we can share with each other.  I got so excited, not just on my end to share, but to be receiving some resources that can help our Hawaii Pacific Baptists in the area of evangelism.   I'll update this blog once I receive from others, but below is what I shared to them that I hope maybe of interest to you.

BTJ Homepage
Basic Training Journey:  This is one of the finest material one can learn through a church planting workshop.  It is not just good for those who are planting churches, but for groups who are thinking to start a fresh in their churches.  Basic training overview can be seen here http://www.churchplantingvillage.net/btjtrain/ .  You may contact Steven at steven@hpbaptist.net to learn the yearly workshops done in Oahu and other islands.  

No Home Left Behind Maps:  The goal is to give each church a map poster size of their community where individuals and team members can chart their prayer walking and gospel sharing progress. Ask for a copy for your church and see how simple it is track down your prayer and evangelism movement in the community.  Click here to view mapping center.

Webinars:  Once a year evangelism conference is never sufficient.  We cheer our convention churches for evangelism literally every month through webinars mostly presented by our local pastors.  Here are some topics we have covered in the past: 
·         Mandates & Models of follow-up, Gary Hamrick, Pastor of Missions Lahaina BC.
·         Prayer & Awakening, Bong Abagon, Director of Evangelism, Hawaii Pacific BC.
·         Will the Real Gospel Please Stand Up?, Jay Armstrong, Pastor of Kihei BC.
          Upcoming:  April 25, 2013, 4pm (HST) – Radical Evangelism: Outreach ideas that might just work.  Led by Ray Bosi, Lighthouse Church Plant, Guam.

From Dispersed To Exile

God allows 'life pauses' where moments that we are stopped dead on our tracks while he accomplishes His will.  It's not a comfortable place, but yet necessary.    There are many examples of this in the Bible, but it is one that we do not enjoy.  One key reason for this moment is God's expression of "tough love" (Prov. 3:11-12, Hebrews 12:4-11).    The Divided Kingdom of Israel and Judah sinned against God and they went to the place of no return (Isaiah 28-33; 2 Kings 17:16-20).  As a result, the Divided Kingdoms were shattered.   The Northern Kingdom Israel was dispersed by the Assyrian in 722 B.C. and the Southern Kingdom Judah was exiled by the Babylonians in 587 B.C.    In the midst of Israel's and Judah's life pause, God encourages three things:    Come back to God and renew your relationships with him.   Endure and thrive in the time of your exile. Look forward to the hope that is in Jesus.   DIDISCUSSI...

From Disoriented to United to Divided

Lessons from the Old Testament Survey Class.   Today's lesson is about learning to understand that God has better plans for our lives.  That sometimes, our plans, no matter how good they are, are no better than God's plan.   Isaiah 55:8-9 says,  Let's consider three eras in our study today.  ERA # 1:  Disoriented People This was during the days of judges when God raised deliverers or judges in order to save His people.  The problem is that they kept on disobeying God and God was teaching them a lesson to trust Him.   The cycle of sin and repentance were lessonsyou will find in the book of Judges.   Another problem is that God's people were never content.  They wanted a king like the rest of the world.   This leads us to the next Era.   ERA # 2:  United Kingdom God granted Israel's request for a King despite His warning.  There were three kings that ruled one after the other and their live...

The Exile Returns

Image
God is always true to His promises.  He keeps His covenant to His people.   From Abrahams time until the Kingdom, they are a reflection of God's unfailing commitment to fulfilling His plan.    The exile is a momentary pause, and today, we examine the return of God's people back to the promised land.  In Ezra 1:2, it shared that King Cyrus allowed God's children to return to Jerusalem.   Finally, God's people's prayers are answered and the Jews experience a second chance as they return back to Jerusalem.  What would be your first bidding if you were in their shoes?  Unfortunately, it is easy to prioritize God and reciprocate.   Let's examine three responses of God's people.   I.  They renewed their Worship to Yahweh God's children return with Zerubabbel and reminding them that they need to ret return urn to God as they return to Jerusalem.  In your own reading, what was  II.  They restored their Wor...
