Let’s Go Fishing

Luke 5:10

 

 

What is evangelism you may ask?

 

  • Evangelism is sharing the message of salvation with those who don't know Christ as Savior.

 

Is it my job to evangelize?

 

 

  • Evangelism is a daily work of believers - Acts 5:42.

 

 

 

Mission

 

The mission of the Evangelism Ministry is to minister to others by being effective salt shakers for Christ by sharing the plan of salvation.

 

Goals

 

  • Have the Evangelism Ministry presented in such a way that everyone in Logos know that they have a part to play in sharing the good news of salvation and help to provide various avenues for sharing Jesus.

 

  • Have people understand that witnessing is something that we all should do.

 

Objectives

 

  • Have ongoing evangelism effort and work with other ministries to incorporate evangelism as part of their activities. 

 

  • Conduct training sessions, and seek out information from other active evangelism ministries to aid in the Evangelism Ministry at Logos. 

 

  • Stress that witnessing doesn’t have to be tied to organized group efforts.

 

 

THE SEVEN ENEMIES OF EVANGELISM

 

 

1.  DECEPTION.

 

  • “I’m not a fisherman.”  Jesus said, “follow me, and I will make you a fisher of men.”  God never intended to leave witnessing to the evangelists and pastors.  The entire body of Christ is to be salt and light to this dying world.

 

2.  FEAR.

 

  • “I’m afraid of rejection.”  Fear is sent by the enemy to paralyze us and keep us from increasing the population of heaven and decreasing the population of hell.

 

3.  I JUST DON’T CARE.

 

  • Apathy is indifference and lack of concern, the exact opposite of passion.  Passion is intense desire.  Place soul winning at the top of your priority list.  If it is not at the top, it will wind up at the bottom.

 

4.  NO VISION FOR THE HARVEST.

 

  • “Why bother evangelizing?  No one will want to get saved.” 

 

 

5.  FORGETTING WHAT IT WAS LIKE BEFORE WE WERE SAVED.

 

  • We should never forget what our life was like without him, to be a prisoner to sin, in chains, serving the god of this world.  This will enable us to see all of the hurting people in our lives in a new light.

 

 6.  LACK OF PRAYER.

 

  • “I gave up praying for my lost loved ones.  They are hopeless

 

7.  NOT KNOWING HOW TO EVANGELIZE.

 

  • “I want to witness. I just don’t know how.”  This is the easiest evangelism enemy to overcome.   Meditate on soul winning scriptures in the bible and tell the lord your desire to learn. 

 

 

 

A CHURCH THAT DOES NOT EVANGELIZE WILL FOSSILIZE
