Evangelism
Equipping
C.T. Studd says:
"I cannot tell you what joy it gave me to bring the first
soul to the Lord Jesus Christ. I have tasted almost all the
pleasures that this world can give. I do not suppose there is
one that I have not experienced, but I can tell you that those
pleasures were as nothing compared to the joy that the saving
of that one soul gave me."
Have you won a lost soul
to Jesus Christ since you became a Christian? How long have you
been a Christian? Can you share the Gospel confidently with a
non-Christian?
There are so many people in the church who have not won a soul
to Christ. They always say they are not trained or equipped to
do so. Or they are so frightened to tell someone about Jesus.
Some do not have a passion for the lost. They don't care if the
non-Christians leave this world and end up in a Christless eternity.
Soul-winning is the least important task for such believers. I
wonder if these people are truly Christians in the first place!
Soul-winning or evangelism is not a popular work in the church.
Very few people will get involved in this ministry, and do not
want to be equipped to do it. C. H. Spurgeon said: "He who
never seeks the conversion of another is in imminent danger of
being damned himself". This is a frightening thought. Witnessing
for Jesus must be a part of our Christian life. We must obey the
Great Commission of our Lord (Matthew 28: 18-20; Mark 16: 15).
Come and be equipped to be a witness for Jesus. Join the Evangelism
Equipping (EE) training session from 30 April to 2 May in Church.
If our Church is filled with trained people to evangelise in the
work place, home, school, military camp, etc., no sooner will
you see Grace Church exploding in number and non-Christians being
saved and baptized. Will you do your part to be God's witnesses
(Acts 1 : 8)?
