EVANGELISM

• Gen. 39 And the Lord God called unto Adam, and
  said unto him, Where art thou?
• This is the same question I believe that each of
  us will hear at sometime in our lives, Where are
  you? This question is asked relative to our
  relationship with God.
• IF an individual cannot answer that question with
  the correct answer, then we recognize he/she is a
  lost individual, and it is our responsibility to
  insure they know the correct answer.

Evangelism is Three-DimensionalRev. Pat Ray
It is being, doing and telling the gospel.

• Evangelism is being
• the salt of the earth
• the light of the world
• the aroma of Christ
• This is the "being" dimension.

• Evangelism is
• fishing for persons
• bearing fruit that abides forever
• engaging in the ministry of reconciliation
• This is the dimension of "doing".

• advertising the wonderful deeds of God in Christ
• This is the telling" dimension.

It is being, doing and telling the gospel.
19
EVANGELISM

• Evangelism should be a passion rather than
  promotion.
• It comes from our intimate relationship with the
  creator of the universe and His own passion for
  each of us to draw near to Him.

20
EVANGELISMPassion gtlt Promotion

• When evangelism is a passion, it is concerned
  primarily with the salvation of a person.
• When it is promotion, its concern is statistics.

21
EVANGELISMPassion gtlt Promotion

• When evangelism is a passion,it is used to
  advance the Kingdom of God.
• When it is promotion, it is used to enlarge an
  institution.

  of the loving heart.
• When it is promotion, it resorts to
  ecclesiastical gimmickry to achieve religious
  success. -Rev. Pat Ray

EVANGELISMWhere and How

• Where and how are two questions that really
  challenge us today!
• WHERE
• First, in our Jerusalem our local cities and
  communities.
• Acts of kindness open eyes of blindness.
  Jezreel Ministry.
• Next, our Judea Virginia.
• Next, our Samaria those who are different in
  culture, language, style of living, etc.
• Next, the uttermost parts of the world.

25
EVANGELISMWhere and How

• What happened with us in the 80s?
• The Book of Acts is a picture of the Church in
  transition from a local community of believers,
  basically in Jerusalem, religiously close,
  somewhat self-centered to a world wide ministry.
• Driven by the Holy Spirit.
• The 120 were comfortable together
• The 120 knew each other
• The 120 were related by and large to one another

26
EVANGELISMWhere and How

• HOW
• Some feel that I have to only reach my community
  but I share with you the challenge is
• to look with Gods vision and
• to feel with Gods heart and
• to reach with Gods compassion.

27
EVANGELISMWhere and How

• God began all of this with one man who was
  challenged to look up and count the stars if you
  can, and I will make your seed innumerable.
• I am saying to you today we must lift up our eyes
  and look at 2.1 billion who have never heard even
  once the wonderful name of JESUS CHRIST.

28
EVANGELISMWhere and How

• Never forgetting those close by but at the same
  time, reaching out to those beyond our own
  borders.
• A church that only reaches inward and is
  concerned about survival is destined to die, but
  when you catch the wind of the Spirit, and the
  work of the Spirit, you will be blessed beyond
  measure.

29
EVANGELISMWhere and How

• We are giving away more than we have ever given
  to the work of God outside of our own
  congregation and I tell you we have more than we
  have ever had before because GOD is in the
  business of FLOW and not stagnation.
• We have no other choice but go because He
  commanded us to do so.

30
EVANGELISMWhere and How

• Lean over, put your ear to His heart and hear the
  pounding, the thumping for lost and unreached
  humanity.
• Romans 116 For I am not ashamed of the gospel of
  Christ for it is the power of God unto salvation
  to every one that believeth to the Jew first,
  and also to the Greek.
• Eric Carlsons story-

31
EVANGELISMWhere and How

• God never created the church for failure but He
  empowered that 120 to go in His name. We have the
  same power and the same anointing.
• Heidi Baker is a young woman who dared to obey
  the Lord and go to Mozambique and live in a
  garbage dump. God has given her hundreds of
  children, and then thousands, and God spoke to
  her and said, I am going to give you millions,
  entire nations of un-reached people.

32
EVANGELISM

• NOT ONLY CAN WE ACCOMPLISH THE HARVEST, WE MUST
  REACH THE HARVEST.
