Caption: In this week’s picture is a street full of people in the busy shopping centre of a town called Derby, United Kingdom. Just look at how many people are in just this one street on a Saturday afternoon going about their lives, some having never heard the good news of the gospel of Jesus Christ, some lukewarm in their faith, some are those who knew Christ and are now backslidden (far from God) and others wear labels of other religions or non religions and others still simply confused....This is a picture of what my city and your city looks like today without Christ...
Key Scripture: 2 Corinthians 5:20 (NKJV)
'Now then, we are ambassadors for Christ, as though God were pleading through us: we implore you on Christ’s behalf, be reconciled to God.'
Food for Thought:
It is so humbling to think that God wants to include us in His plan to save the world isn't it? Imagine that! God thinks I (you) are worthy to be His ambassador in our local city / town, community, office, university, school, network...No matter who we used to be, or how qualified we may think we are, God wants to send us to spread the gospel and share the truth that Jesus is in our lives with others in our local community. This is the focus for this week, ‘your local community’...
How can you be an ambassador and represent Christ in your community through evangelism?
Does your church have a local evangelism program you can step out in faith and participate in?
Is there a scripture union or Christian group in your school, university or workplace you could join and work with to evangelise to the non believers and backsliders in your community?
* An ambassador is a diplomatic official of the highest rank appointed and accredited as representative in residence by one government or sovereign to another; A diplomatic official heading his or her country's permanent mission to certain international organizations; An authorized messenger or representative. [http://www.answers.com/topic/ambassador].
The Weekly Challenge:
1. Find out what your church is doing in the area of evangelism and get involved...if nothing is really happening, why not ask if you can start an outreach group?
2. Purposely go out each day looking for an opportunity to be an *ambassador of Jesus Christ
3. Email us @ pgspreadtheword@gmail.com and tell us how you get on!
