Ellendale United Methodist Church Evangelism

“Sharing God’s gift of good news”

Most people have a basic understanding of evangelism. Still, many are afraid of evangelism. What many people fear is not evangelism, but a negative presentation of evangelism. It is my desire to get everyone to explore healthy ways to participate in effective evangelism.

 The aim of evangelism is to relate people to God so that they will begin an intentional relationship with Jesus Christ. Evangelism does not end with a person’s initial decision to follow Christ. Effective evangelism leads people into a life-long journey of Christian discipleship and spiritual formation. Without discipleship and spiritual formation, the Church will only create members who bear little or no spiritual fruit for Christ.

 It should be our vision to develop a program that weaves evangelism throughout the life of the Church.

The evangelism team has put together an exciting program I feel will accomplish our vision. Some things you will see happening right away and others will be later this year.

You may be called upon to volunteer for one of these programs and I hope you embrace the opportunity to grow spiritually.

 Someone once said , “Evangelism is only one beggar showing another beggar where to find bread”.
