How to reach the unreachable people groups the message of Jesus Christ?
After defining the many terms of people groups and the location of where they can be found the task can be inaugurate. Christians around the world can obey the commission given by Jesus Christ to all believers. The commission is the make disciples of all nations, baptize them, and teach them to obey his commandments. With various ways of mass communication agencies, churches, families, individuals, leaders, organizations, and pastors must come together and work as a team to complete the task given 33 AD years ago.
According to Adopt-A-People Clearinghouse unreachable people has never heard the gospel been explain in an understandable way, they do not believe in Jesus Christ, they do not attend church, they do not have a Bible translated in their native language, Bibles are legally restricted to distribution, and the groups possibly could be illiterate. The number of unreached people groups is over 5000. The task is to teach and train the unreached groups the word of God and make disciples of Jesus Christ. Ev...
A person can evangelize many different ways. There are intellectual methods, relational methods, and confrontational methods. There is no right or wrong way to evangelize only the right method for the situation. In this paper, I will be discussing one way of evangelizing for each of the different methods. This paper will include the Romans Road method, the Friendship evangelism method, and the Door-to-Door evangelism method.
...style, names, words but the way to church renewal in world-wide discipleship. What is really needed in this secular society and church is a “discovering again of Jesus,” explaining it as “a thicker Jesus.” Therefore, one last insight the book taught me was to think about discipleship interactively. It is not a passive but an active message. It is by going into the flied of spiritual battle that true discipleship follow the ways of Jesus. It is not a commitment one but of many who shares and advocate for the same rights and duties to exercise what was recommended by their Leader. What the book implies as the main theme is that discipleship must be active and incarnational meaning that all believers should feel anxious to support the cause of Jesus in a world that although dead in their sins is safe under the divine umbrella of the power of incarnational discipleship.
In other words, evidence of God’s intention to establish diversity begins with the table of nations in Genesis 10 and continues throughout both the Old and New Testaments (Patten, 2013). Therefore, catering to or including cross-cultural communities in our ministry planning has biblical basis. Embracing various cultures abroad when preaching the gospel is also clearly outlined as a needed ministry when reading in the book of Acts, “But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit comes on you; and you will be my witnesses in Jerusalem, and in all Judea and Samaria, and to the ends of the earth” (Acts 1:8).
In chapter four of Global Church Planting, the authors talk about the expansion of Kingdom communities as learned from the New Testament. They talk about the importance of church reproduction and how to do it in a healthy way. Indigeneity and church planting movements are critical parts to church multiplication. This chapter describes the importance of local churches training local leaders to again reproduce and train those churches as well to reproduce. “The missionary effort to establish indigenous churches is an effort to plant churches that fit naturally into their environment and to avoid planting churches that replicate western patterns.” – John Mark Terry
This paper is an attempt to do the impossible. In a handful of pages, I will dig into the Bible to build a theology of leadership, look at history to see important influences on the pastoral vocation, and build a personal structure for my call to the pastorate. Fittingly, this paper faces many of the challenges of ministry. The job description is massive in scope, the resources are scant, and the hope for success lies squarely on the work of the Spirit.
According to a recent article, “1.5 billion people are without the full Bible in their first language” (“What’s been done”). This statistic shows that there are many people in the world who do not have a way to learn about Christ . We need people who are willing to go and spread the word to people who do not have these Bible translations. To spread the word of God, Christians need to understand how many people already know about God, how to spread the word in places like the 10/40 Window, and how to get missionaries into remote areas so people can who do not already know about Jesus can learn more about Him and become followers of Christ.
Go ye into all the world and preach the gospel to every nation. (Mark 16:15)
In a survey conducted in 2012, LifeWay.com inquired about the importance of evangelism among members of the Christian faith. The results of the survey showed that 80 percent of people who claimed to follow Jesus Christ and had openly devoted themselves to the teaching of Christianity, felt that they had a “personal responsibility to share their religious views and beliefs about Jesus Christ with non-christians” (Wilke, LifeWay.com). Surveys such as this reflect the Christian doctrine of evangelism and the weight it holds within the Christian faith. As can be seen back in the Gospel of Matthew, Jesus Christ commanded His followers “to go and make disciples of all nations (Matthew 28:19).” However, Jesus never told His followers how doing this.
A leaders last words and commands to his followers encompass the heart of his message and mission. Jesus’ final command to his disciples in Scripture was to, “Go and make disciples of all nations” (Matt. 28:19-20 ESV). This emphasis on disciple making was the impetus for the development of an organized disciple-making program for new believers during the Patristic period called the Catechumenate. Jesus charges his disciples not only to proclaim the gospel and baptize new believers, but emphasized "teaching them to obey everything that I have commanded you" (Matt 28:19-20). The Catechumenate developed by the Church Fathers was the initial spiritual training ground
Jesus Christ came into the world more than 2,000 years ago that a dying world might be saved. God, the Creator of heaven, earth, and sea, loves those who believe on Him so deeply that He offered His only Son as a sacrifice to atone the sins of mankind. To atone for man’s sins, Christ came to the earth in human flesh and was crucified in death. Not only was He crucified, but God also raised Him from the dead to be the bread of life and sit on the right hand of God interceding on behalf of the saints. Evangelism is sharing this story of the life and power of Jesus Christ. Moreover, evangelism is providing the necessary information about the cause and reasoning for Jesus Christ walking the earth so that sinners may repent of their sins and begin to trust God with their very existence and everything that concerns them. “Evangelism is the
For centuries, individuals called “missionaries” have journeyed place to place to achieve their goal of conversion. A missionary is a person strongly in favor of a program, set of principles, religion, etc., who attempts to persuade or convert others. A missionary can also be a person sent by a church into an area to carry on evangelism or other activities, such as educational or hospital work. There have been many periods of time throughout history in which these mortals have remarkably affected nations and formed them into what they are today, such as the state of Hawaii, the United States of America, and some countries in Africa. There are still many groups of missionaries existent today, continuing their work to convert people to concur with their beliefs. There are some people who believe that missionaries have good prestige on society. These people concur that these groups, or individuals, bring abundances of beneficial assets that advance a locality. While some argue that missionaries have a positive impact, missionaries are a negative influence on society because they bring unwanted dilemmas and often achieve their goal of conversion through physical coercion.
This came for America at the end of World War II, and as a result evangelical Christianity returned to prominence. At this time, a young preacher from North Carolina named Billy Graham started his ascent to notoriety in the renewed evangelical movement. Billy Graham, serving as an evangelist, led massive crusades to bring lost souls to the church. More than an introducing people to an ideology or a denomination, Graham was most interested in evangelizing and leading people to Jesus Christ, God’s sacrificial lamb for mankind. Through his work in this area, he was able to assist in uniting the two largest evangelical organizations, the National Association of Evangelicals, and the American Council of Christian Churches. The Continuation Committee for World Evangelism was created. Their goal was, “to encourage and assist where necessary in the formation of regional and national committees to advance world evangelism in every area (Shelley
carry it on to completion until the day of Christ Jesus" (The Holy Bible: New International Version). This is what it will take to be an effective
When Jesus called His disciples, His invitation was simple. He invited them to follow Him. The same is true today. In Matthew 28, Jesus gave His last charge to His disciples, and the charge was simple. He called his followers to go and make disciples. Much effort has been placed by Christians to fulfill this charge, commonly referred to as the Great Commission. Jesus chose to fulfill the implementation of the New Covenant through 12 men who He called, appointed, and commissioned, and he only had a few short years to prepare them for the task (Willson, 1990). His methods were unconventional and were revolutionary for that time. His disciples were to be trained extensively by Jesus, living with Him for three years prior to His ascension. He taught about servant leadership and its meaning for both the leader and follower Matt. 20:25-28). From the beginning, Jesus put in place a careful plan, and an examination of His actions in the Gospels showed that Jesus left behind the pattern to be replicated. His methods, which included the incorporation of three different levels of discipleship, included His interaction with Peter, His closest three (Peter, James, and John), and finally the group of 12. This paper identified and analyzed the three levels of discipleship Jesus modeled, these discipleship methods were then measured against modern leadership theories, and Jesus’s level of involvement and interaction with his disciples were critiqued in light of these modern theories in an effort to determine the effectiveness of this approach.
Evangelism is one of the key component for changing people’s lives. McRaney states, “The word evangelism comes from a combination of Greek words for “good” and “messenger.” Evangelism involves bringing the goods. Kent Hunter reminded us that “when Christians witness, they tell how Jesus Christ has changed their own lives. The change in their own lives gives them the desires to share the Good News with others.” Christians must share their testimony to people and spread the gospel so that they can bring lost souls to Christ. God has commissioned every Christian to evangelize so that people will learn about Jesus Christ and accept Him as their personal savior. Matthew 28:19 states, “Go therefore and make disciples of all the nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit”. Christians are required to spread the Gospel throughout the world and can no longer just attend church. Christians must plant seeds and water the seeds so that lost souls will be saved.
