NOTIFY - Outreach Ministry

Reach beyond the church walls!

While statistics today reveal that 95% of Christians never personally lead anyone to Christ, it appears this was not the case in the early centuries of the church. Jesus called His disciples to follow Him and then promised if they did so, that he would make them to be fishers of men, (Matthew 4:19). It seems to us that anyone and everyone who really follows Christ in the way He has called us, will be an active fisher of men. The Book of Acts reveals that all the early believers were going about "preaching the Word" or sharing their faith. They were not just leaving the work of evangelism up to the church leadership, (Acts 8:1,4) We are concerned about the discrepancy we see between the effectiveness of the early church and the church of today. While most would acknowledge the priority of The Great Commission of our Lord, few churches and fewer believers are experiencing an effective outreach ministry to the lost. We are convinced that the primary reason believers are not actively sharing their faith today is that they have not been adequately equipped to do so. We believe if a person is trained and has an on-the-job chance to share their faith, they will continue to do so in their daily life as well. .
