...SERVANT EVANGELISM REPORT – 2 This class has taught me that witnessing for the lord can take different forms and patterns or settings. The most important thing is not the quotations from the Bible that we tend to sometimes dump on the prospect but the life that we live has far reaching implications and can be the only message we give in honor of God's kingdom. No matter where we find ourselves, it is always a great idea to maintain the same standards because we do not know who is watching. Especially at the work place where almost anyone is doing their best to look better than the other person or get the next promotion even if means telling a “little lie” or falling into diverse temptations just to get by. I work in a place that is highly diverse with people of virtually every race, social and religious identify. I did not know that co-workers discuss me a lot, especially the females, I have heard a few rumors here and there although not for bad things but I never knew that some of them were highly challenged that I am not one of the men who seek opportunities to “get laid,” get involved in shady things or speak carnally. Recently there is a lady who confide in me at the work place and stated that she really appreciate my person and having heard that I have a stable family she desires to seek Christian counsel on issues that bothers on her marriage adding that she was at the verge of seeking a divorce because she was not really getting along with her husband. I informed the...

...they are spiritual but not religious. One in five state that they pray every day.” Knowing this information can prompt two different reactions. One could be that we allow this knowledge to intimidate the church and continue to cripple our efforts to reach these unreached people. The other option is to allow this information to act as a challenge to the church and the believers that congregate under the common thread of Jesus Christ and allow these numbers to propel the church to re-evaluate the evangelistic status quo; go back to the biblical basic of the early church and come up with a new game plan to win these souls for Christ. This paper will discuss how to mobilize the church to evangelize. It will define evangelism and look to the biblical basis for evangelism providing a new lifestyle of the modern day church. It will discuss the importance of intercessory prayer, and the vitality of a bold vision. It will look into the Pastors role in the churches effectiveness to...

...LIBERTY UNIVERSITY BAPTIST THEOLOGICAL SEMINARY 4MAT Book Review: Family to Family Submitted to Dr. Geoffrey Hammond in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the completion of EVAN – 525 Contemporary Evangelism by Abstract Dr. Jerry Pipes and Victor Lee’s book Family to Family: Leaving a Lasting Legacy, provides a systemic approach to creating a healthy Christ-centered family. The book defines healthy families as those that spend time building meaningful relationship with each other and center those relationships on Jesus Christ. The healthy Christian family passes the Christian faith from one generation to the next. Healthy Christian families are comprised by individuals who are growing in their understanding of who they are in Christ. The authors details several tools, which are key to establishing this healthy Christian family concept. One tool is developing a mission statement that defines how the family unit will maintain these Christ-centered family relationships. The book reveals the mission statement will act as guardrails for a family’s journey through life. Furthermore, the authors introduces this concept of passing the baton of the Christian faith within the family, which is accomplished by parents relaying the essential Christian truths to their children regarding sin, sharing their faith, and several elements of Christian mentorship. The authors reveal a healthy family must seek to evangelize those around them through their lifestyle...

...Summary of the Chapters In chapter one of Evangelism and the Sovereignty of God, J.I. Packer doesn’t waste time explaining the general truths. He already expects his readers to know that God is sovereign over His world. He is the author and source of all things, therefore, our prayers do not force the Lord of all to do anything. Packer wants his audience to realize that because the God is sovereign, we cannot save ourselves. Our salvation comes through Him and in Him; it is nothing we did ourselves. Packers gives two examples, that he believes can prove that God is sovereign in salvation. The first, he argues that we (Christians) thank God for our salvation. By doing so we acknowledge that God is solely responsible for our salvation. We do not thank ourselves for being saved, do we? No, because we know that it is God who is in control. The second way we acknowledge that God is sovereign in salvation, is that we pray for the conversion of non-believers. Packer defends his reasoning by saying, “Do you limit yourself to asking that God will bring them (non-believers) to a point where they can save themselves, independently of Him?”[1] Again, by praying to God for the salvation of others we practice the act of acknowledging God is sovereign. Proven now, that God is sovereign, in chapter 2 the author explains what an antimony is and how to deal with hardships that come along with it. An antimony is an appearance of a contradiction between conclusions which seem equally...

...The book, Saint Francis Solano, by Mary F. Windeatt, tells the uplifting story of St. Francis Solano’s life from his decision to become a priest to his last words as wonder-worker of the New World and apostle of Argentina and Peru. Born of a wealthy family, he was capable and well educated. He was also very fortunate to have a happy and holy upbringing into a good and virtuous child. Ever since he was a little boy, he longed to be a priest and a missionary. St. Francis Solano’s great missionary accomplishments were truly shaped by his obedience, intelligence, musical talent and trust in God. St. Francis Solano was always obedient to his superiors as a young adult and as a priest. When he was a young man, by his superiors’ decision, he completed the whole course at Montilla’s Jesuit College without complaining, even though he wished to become a Franciscan Friar sooner. At the time he was a friar longing to be a missionary in Africa, he was assigned the position of choir master by Father Guardian. Though it wasn’t the job he wanted, he cheerfully did his best and made the best choir the community ever had. Later, as a vigorous Franciscan missionary in Tucuman, Argentina, he was very happy and zealous in converting the Indians. But soon his accomplishments reached the Commissionary General one thousand, four hundred miles away in Lima, who then appointed him to be the Custos of all of Tucuman. Our missionary saint however, disliked being in a position of authority, but...

...Dr. Kennedy tells us that this kind of Evangelism Explosion has to begin with the training and discipleship of laypeople. The ministry of friendship and personal evangelism is one of the most strategic and most unused ways of sharing the Gospel, it may not be the easiest task but it is Biblical. Dr. Kennedy explains that the first Biblical principle is that the church body is at the command of Christ as a whole to share the Gospel, Jesus commanded us all to “Go”. The next Biblical principle in equipping laypeople is the pastor’s responsibility to do so. Dr. Kennedy tells us that in the fourth chapter of Ephesians says that Christ has given to the church “some apostles; some prophets; some evangelists; some pastors; and some teachers; for perfecting of the saints, for the work of the ministry, for the edifying of the body of Christ.” While it is their responsibility to train it is also their responsibility to make sure their church practices what they learn. Thirdly, Pastors need to follow Christ’s example and give their members “on-the-job training”. He then goes on to tell us the importance of training people to win souls verses just winning souls ourselves. Dr. Kennedy says, “Jesus did not say go and make converts, but to go and make disciples.” He explains to us that we can train people by showing them how to evangelize when doing it ourselves, therefore doing the two tasks that were most important to Christ: evangelism and discipleship. The amazing thing is that...

...For the last several decades the most prominent leader within the religious movement known as “evangelicalism” has been the Reverend Billy Graham. Evangelicalism is a Christian movement that focuses on the need for personal conversion, sharing the gospel, and salvation. Billy Graham is well known for his large evangelistic crusades that draw people by the thousands. These crusades have given Graham the distinction of preaching the gospel, in person, to more people than any other person in history. It is widely believed that over 2 billion people have heard Billy Graham preach the Gospel while more than 2.5 million of them made a public declaration of faith in response (Aikman 53). Evangelism is a very important Biblical task and successful evangelistic campaigns, where people turn to Jesus Christ for salvation, are cause to praise God. So it is natural that many Christians hold Graham in extremely high regard. But one question still remains: is Billy Graham a modern day prophet or is he just one of the most famous preachers that has ever lived? In biblical times the word prophet meant a delegated messenger; someone that delivers the direct word from God. While there is no den William Franklin Graham was born on November 7, 1918 near Charlotte, NC. Graham was not drawn to the Bible instantly. Graham was raised on a dairy farm in Charlotte, North Carolina. In 1943 he married Ruth McCue Bell, daughter of a Christian missionary. In his early years, the Graham family...

...What is the relationship between social action and evangelism? I believe some people wish to make a false dichotomy between Social action and Evangelism when the issue is brought up, as if one cannot meet the physical needs of others and speak of the gospel at the same time. Surely it’s not impossible for to go and build a house for a man and tell him, “Today I shall build you an earthly house, so that you may know the comfort of a home, but l tell you that as I build this home there is an even greater builder constructing you a mansion, one that will be eternal, and the builder is Christ…” and etc. I see no reason why when you construct homes for the homeless one cannot bring up 2 Corinthians 5:1, or John 4:13-14 when you feed them and leap from there. Of course there may be times when the pangs from someone’s physical hunger stifle the growls of their spiritual hunger and the same with pain. Or there will be times when someone’s spiritual hunger will affect them physically. I like to compare Social Action, Evangelism, and Fellowship/Worship to be like a tripod for a camera you have to adjust all the legs to find the proper balance, at times a leg may be far shorter than the others or one longer than the rest, but it’s what is need. Should evangelism take precedence over other types of ministry? As I mentioned above evangelism is only a single part of everything Christianity has to offer, it is just the beginning of everything that Christ has to offer. It is in fact,...

...jumping from account to account. At first Mr. Malone did not see a reason to purse an investigation, but Mrs. Cooper decided that there was further investigation needed. Mrs. Cooper looked into the report and realized that something was wrong with the reports and confronted Mr. Bobbitt about the findings. Mr. Bobbitt in the audit committee would take a look and see if the findings that Mrs. Cooper were valid. After finding that the findings were valid she then contact Mr. Farrell and he did an external investigation. After further investigation that the mid-level accounting directors Mr. Normand had confessed to just going along with what Mr. Sullivan had explained to him about the reports because he was afraid to tell anyone and wanted to resign. He was afraid that if he told anyone that he would lose his job and had a family to support. When looking at WorldCom situation it was good that the internal auditor committee took charge of the situation when it was brought to them. That was very ethical and then to have the external auditors take over to review the matter was the right step. Now the fact that you had an accountant that your CFO making false reports and switching money around is not very ethical. Not only did your CFO bring another person into the fraudulent reports, but now an external investigation has to be done and reported. There will be hefty fines and jail time for people in the company that went along with unethical behavior. The accounting activity was...
