Your Mission Field

"If we would obey Jesus, we must go into the world. I've been challenged by the example of other churches to study my local community with the evangelistic intentionality of a missionary. To ask questions like "If I were a missionary to another nation, how would I view my life? What decisions would I make about where I live or how much I need to live on? Where would I spend my time so I could form friendships with unbelieving people? What would I seek to learn about the culture so that I could befriend and clearly communicate the gospel? What are the idols and false gods people are worshiping?

Ask these questions, and then apply them to your current location. The mission field is right in front of you. Imagine how this kind of evangelistic urgency could be used by God to touch your campus, workplace, neighborhood, and community."

Share Your Faith

Through work this week, I was made aware of a great online evangelism resource. It's a program called ACT111, and it can be completed online in four twenty minute sessions. I downloaded the materials this afternoon, and I love them! You can register online and complete the training for free. You need to be able to print your materials, so if your printer isn't functional, ask a friend or family member to print them for you. If you are familiar with the Evan Tell ministry and the ACT111 program, please leave a comment and share your testimony.
