Evangelism and Missions
![]() Evangelism is the proclamation of the historical, biblical Christ as Savior and Lord in the community and the world, with the intent of persuading people to come to Christ personally and so be reconciled to God. This call is for persons to deny themselves, take up the cross, and identify themselves with His new community.
Evangelism is never a message separated from the individual. It is a message that is demonstrated through the lifestyle and words of an individual (1 Timothy 4:15-16). The results of evangelism include obedience to Christ, incorporation into His church and responsible service in the world. Evangelism should be defined not only in terms of its results but also its methods and message. Philosophy: All of the problems we face in our communities, country and world can find their answers through the powerful Word of God (2 Peter 1:3-5). We are challenged by the Bible to find humble men and women who are called by God with the gift of evangelism to impact the community and the world for God's glory. Jesus Christ came to "seek and to save those who are lost" (Luke 19:10). This call is not just for those in the local community, where the church resides, but also all those around the world. (Acts 1:8) Evangelism
