What Is Church Outreach And Its Impact To A Society

By Tammie Caldwell


People will never know how good you feel in your walk with Jesus if you do not share with them. Those that have been called out of darkness into spiritual light should make it their responsibility to guide their neighbors into the same light. It makes no sense keeping the word to yourself yet some people labored for you to get the word. Let us see how proper church outreach can lead to growth.

It is a negative trend, and Christians need to change because how will we be able to fulfill the great commission if we live such life. Churches can also tap the potential of the internet and preach the gospel to a wider reach of people. In the olden days, Christ would teach in the open air where he met people, and he was able to preach without any problem.

There are many churches in this day and age that has transformed the lives of people because of preaching the word in open air areas or holding conventions. The internet is also expanding to areas that missionaries could not reach in the olden days. Now with a click of a button a person can reach sermons or stream live services from the comfort of their home.

Soul winning is not a favor that we are doing to the kingdom of God. But is it a responsibility and a command that each Christian should personalize in their context. You can preach at work as well as you can also preach by writing Christian blog posts. Others can preach by physically going to the areas that are not reached and sharing with them the love of Christ.

A church that wants to grow must invest their resources into preaching the word of God. Preaching does not mean that it is done in the confines of the churches only, but it means that you get out of the world and reach out to the lost souls. Life after you have given your life to Christ can be so satisfying to the extent that you only feel that you are the only person entitled to salvation.

We no longer have an authority to give the moral direction of certain controversial issues. Let us now look at the role of the Bible word in the life of a Christian in relation to evangelism. It does not help as a born again person who just attended services without reaching other people.

It does not help to judge other people based on the faith we profess. Instead, we should labor to get to their level and tell them how they would benefit by coming to Christ. Others might have known the word previously, but the pressures of the world had chocked them, and they might have resorted to their former lives.

It is imperative that children of God be evangelistic in their way of life and their actions. The harvest is plenty, but the laborers are few. The lost souls want the message and a person who will go and minister to them. It is the responsibility of every Christian to ensure that the people who are close to them know the good news of Christ Jesus.
