Question:
How can we get more outreach programs?
Answer:
If the Lord puts something on your heart, DO IT! Start off small, and work up. Ask people that normally do evangelism for some tips or opportunities to help them. Take advantage of the meetings we already have by inviting your friends to those. The assembly isn’t the boss, but Jesus Christ is our Boss. In order to witness to the unsaved, you have to have a love for those people. We need to see them as God loves them. The question was then asked, “How do you develop a love for other people?” We need to get over our own fears about witnessing. We cannot rely on our own love, but only through Christ. We love because He first loved us. We must first love Christ. Our fear makes us focus on ourselves and not on loving that person. The more effort we put into sharing the gospel, the more we’ll care about it. Another idea was to have a conviction of hell, and meditate on it. That way you will realize the actuality of hell and that people are going there. Mark
