Upcoming Evangelism
Reaching Out in Evangelism is part of our mission. It's the part that helps people find Jesus as their personal savior. It's the part that points out our distinctive beliefs. It's the part that helps people catch a glimpse of the hope that we have for the future. And the mission of our local church is to reach as many people as possible with the message of Jesus as found in the Three Angel's Messages as found in Revelation 14. This last seminar, we saw just a small taste of what could be. Coming at the end of March 2010, we're having Richard Halversen coming to do a very professional series.
Our goal is to mail a brochure (on time this time) to everyone in Clark County. Imagine with me if we would have the kind of response we want - 150 guests would show up opening night. We'd baptize 20+ people at the end of the series. And longterm we'd keep most of them because we're building a strong discipleship base for them now.
But in order to do that, we need to raise about $25,000 from within our local church. That may sound like a lot. But if you broke that down into our active membership - that's only $63/person for each of the next three months. That's only $21/month. And that's only $.70/day. That's less than the price of a can of pop. For a family of four, that's less than the price of a single Starbucks or less than 3 bean burritos from Taco Bell. Could you give up the price of a Starbucks or a few Taco Bell Burritos to share the message of Jesus?
Truly, $21/month per person is only the price of a couple of nights out to eat. Would you be willing to go without a couple of good meals out to eat, to share the story of Jesus with someone? Would you be willing to give to the "Evangelism Fund" in order to help us reach our goal of $25,000 by March of this year?
Please mark your Offering in the envelope "Evangelism". Thanks for your support!
