Evangelism
"Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptising them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit."
Matthew 28:19
The Message is the Gospel
We believe that the Gospel is the message that brings people to salvation and is foundational for all our evangelistic efforts. Salvation is by grace through faith alone.
“The Gospel is the Good News that God became man in Jesus Christ. He lived the life we should have lived, and died the death we should have died, in our place. Three days later, He rose from the dead, proving that He is the Son of God, and offering the gift of salvation and forgiveness of sins to anyone who repents and believes the Gospel.” Rice Broocks – An excerpt from his book, ‘God’s Not Dead’
“For I am not ashamed of the Gospel of Christ, for it is the power of God to salvation for everyone who believes, for the Jew first and also for the Greek.” ROMANS 1:16
By all means win some
We believe that Biblical evangelism is part of the call to make disciples, which is inclusive of evangelism with people we know, starting conversations with strangers either during our everyday lifestyle or as an outreach/mission, and also proclaiming the Gospel to crowds. We believe that both the harvest and the harvester help determine our method that is inclusive of sharing the Gospel with power, engaging with apologetics and intentional acts of kindness in the process of sharing the Gospel. We recognise that tools, technologies and strategies help in communicating the Gospel and mobilising believers. In all things we need to be Spirit-led and Spirit-empowered in sharing the Gospel.
“For God has not given us a spirit of fear, but of power and of love and of a sound mind. Therefore do not be ashamed of the testimony of our Lord, nor of me His prisoner, but share with me in the sufferings for the Gospel according to the power of God.” 2 TIMOTHY 1:7&8
