By Definition...

EVANGELISM – We can find many definitions. Here are a few:

• spreading the Christian message
• preaching the gospel , or sharing the good news of Jesus.
•
sharing the good news of the salvation that is available through Jesus Christ.
and ...
•
"that set of intentional activities which is governed by the goal of initiating people into the kingdom of God for the first time."


I read this recently...

We have turned from “go & tell” to “come & hear.” We invite people to come hear the teacher or preacher, but we should be going and telling those in the world around us.

Jesus said, “Come follow me and I will make you fishers of men.” He never said, "I will make you appointment makers between preachers and the lost."

Do we REALLY believe Jesus is the ONLY hope for the world?
