THE MINISTRY OF EVANGELIST
• Ephesians 4:11-14, evangelists included. Why? How?
Evangelist equips the church: passion for the lost, vision of the lost, and faith to win the lost; leading the church in soul winning by participation in evangelistic campaigns/meetings. Unity must include soul winning, cannot be truly united with people who are not interested in winning souls. All doctrines must have soul winning.
Passion
Luke 15 - Parable Of The Lost Sheep
Parable Of The Lost Coin
Parable Of The Lost Son
Vision
Look and see that the field is white for harvest (John 4:35).
What do you see?
Do you see your family members and relatives as lost souls? Has natural bond overwhelmed you to such an extent that you lost consciousness that they need to be saved and you are the rescuer?
Do you see your neighbors, merely as neighbors or as lost souls? Do you see your friends, merely as friends or as lost souls? Do you see your colleagues, merely as colleagues or as lost souls?
Has natural perception clouded your vision?
Faith
2 Corinthians 4:13
Faith is transmitted and transferable.
Believe in the truth of the gospel.
Believe you can be an effective soul winner.
Believe that people will be saved.
WINNING PEOPLE TO GOD’S KINGDOM shares the same principle with RECRUITING BELIEVERS FOR SERVICE
• Be an encourager, not analytical targeting
• Be an encourager, not unconscious using
• Be an encourager, not sympathy getting.
