EvangelismWe are a church that desires to be used by God to see others come

to Christ. We’ve heard it all our lives, we are encouraged to tell people about God. The reality is that 90% of church people will

never experience the joy of leading someone to Christ. James says when we look in the mirror and see something is wrong, the right reaction is to change. my guess is that anyone reading this wants to share their faith and to see people come into a relationship with God. To that end, this Fall, we are going to focus on helping equip you to reach those around you for Christ. If we do nothing more than begin to see the lost around us with new hearts and attitudes we will have made a major advancement in our overall goal of being devoted to sharing Jesus with our world.

Here are 5 ways we are emphasizing evangelism:

We are teaching a discipleship class on Sunday nights called “Tactics” that will help you learn how to share your faith.

We are continuing our outreach program each Sunday afternoon.

We are making our True Life cards available to aid you in sharing your faith (more to come about these).

We are putting an outreach emphasis in our Sunday School classes.

We are continuing to give you opportunities to minister here and around the world to those who are lost and in need.

For Christ and his Kingdom,

Pastor Eddie
