*Why Evangelism?*
A couple of year’s back some one asked me the need for evangelism. In fact this friend of mine could not see reason why I wanted to get involved with an evangelistic ministry. His reason was based on the fact that there is so much being done by the “big” churches and groups. Why the extra effort?
Beloved if you also wonder why we need to commit more to evangelism here is why;
1. Europe that used be the home of Christianity is now passing laws to restrict christian worship
2. UK, the acclaimed home of the reformation, now has virtually empty churches
3. Ghana (my own country) which used to boast of over 80% of the population being Christians is now 67% Christians.
4. Homosexuality is gradually gaining acceptance in most churches.
5. The rise of false teachers and false “churches”
The reasons are endless
Yes the “big” churches are doing all they can. There are crusades here and there. In Accra radio stations, streets, Television stations etc are lined up with preachers of the Gospel. Yet we cannot relax because of that. The world’s population keeps growing every second. We cannot rely on the same institutions to cover every new addition to the world’s population. We must all put in our effort. Besides evangelism is not an option for any christian; it is a mandate (Mathew 28:18-20). We must evangelize; we must preach the Gospel of Jesus Christ. We must bring people to repentance and salvation through Jesus Christ. We must make known the eminent Judgement of unrighteousness and wickedness of this world.
I choose evangelism!
The salvation message of Jesus Christ must be told till Jesus comes Again.
