How Proper Church Outreach Can Lead To Growth

By Tammie Caldwell


One of the responsibilities that Jesus left to his disciples is to go into the world and make new followers. The church doctrine requires that people go out and minister the gospel to others. It is, for this reason, that churches have a ministry that is responsible for reaching out to people who do not know the faith. What is church outreach and its impact to a society?

You will realize the reason Christ dies for men is so that they could have eternal life. In the Bible, it is quoted commissioning the disciples to go into the world and preach the word to the ends of the world. Failure to which he will not come because it would unfair to judge people of their sins yet they had not heard the gospel of salvation.

Some people are always in the habit of judging other people and the think that they live a better life, and there is no need to reach out to them. Christ Jesus humbled himself into human flesh so that he could share the love of God with humanity. Christians should also emulate the same kind of life.

A life that pleases God is a life that replicates what Jesus did. Christ was not interested in a life of wealth but one that shared life widely to every person he could reach. The great commission was to for disciples to reach out to people from all walks of life and share with them the good news 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.

In the ministry of outreach, a person needs to forget about their status and visit all places the rich and the poor and share with them the love of Christ. A church that has a plan to transform lives in their time must make a habit of going to the people with evangelism. If we remain in our comfort zone, there is no way we can change the lives of other people.
