WEEK EIGHT: The Gospel - Be Prepared

Caption: Prayer is a major part of our evangelism program in my church because we understand that without engaging the Holy Spirit, receiving His power and thereby inviting God to lead our evangelism campaigns, and as a result we will have the confidence required to trust in His ability to save life through us.

Key Word / Text:  Acts 1:8 (NIV)

“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."

Food for Thought: Have you ever approached someone to witness to them or an outreach event and found yourself lacking confidence? Or you were not sure what you would say? Your throat became dry and you started to sweat? Or worse, you decided not to witness because you didn’t think you could do it? – A lack of confidence rooted often in fear is a common occurrence in evangelism namely due to a lack of power. For Christians, power comes from the Holy Spirit, “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." Without the Holy Spirit we can no nothing and therefore it is important for us to seek the power of the Holy Spirit in prayer daily so that we are equipped and ready to witness with a confidence that God will move as it is His Spirit that leads and guides us.

The Weekly Challenge: 

1.  If you do not already, start praying daily for all those who you will meet and witness to, that God will open their hearts before you even meet them / see them again and that through your contact they WILL be saved.

The Passion of the Christ: (Music Video) "This Man"

" Video I made after a friend asked me about the Passion of the Christ movie. He didn't understand the movie so I made this to try to help him understand as well as for others to use in outreach. (update my friend accepted the Lord and is now my brother Praise God!). --Music by Jeremy Camp "This Man" and Jeremy Riddle."

I was encouraged when I saw the creative way in which the person who made this video presented the gospel to his friend and praise God that God moved on the young man's heart and he is now saved! Be encouraged for those who have family, friends, colleagues who don't respond to your words, there is more than one way to give people the gospel, so be creative!  To the glory of God...


Please do write to us @ pgspreadtheword@gmail.com and share some of the creative ways you have shared the gospel to encourage others!

WEEK SEVEN: The Gospel - Seeing the urgency

Caption: The image above is a painting (artist unknown) of the end of time as we know it, when the redeemed of Christ through the cross inherit eternal life and those who are not saved are cast into the lake of fire, which is the second death. This is the reality of the gospel, ONLY they that call upon the Lord will be SAVED. 


Key Word / Text: Revelation 21:6-8 (NIV)
He said to me: "It is done. I am the Alpha and the Omega, the Beginning and the End. To him who is thirsty I will give to drink without cost from the spring of the water of life. He who overcomes will inherit all this, and I will be his God and he will be my son.But the cowardly, the unbelieving, the vile, the murderers, the sexually immoral, those who practice magic arts, the idolaters and all liars—their place will be in the fiery lake of burning sulfur. This is the second death."


Food for Thought: As Christians we are fully aware of what the end of life will bring, the judgement of sin and the second death for those who do not accept Christ yet we seem to lack a sense of urgency in reaching out and witnessing to the lost. The bible says that we do not know the day or the hour in which Christ will return therefore we must not be slow to act but we must spread the gospel and share our faith with those we meet as if that opportunity will be their last to get saved. How important is it to you to snatch people out of their downward spiral towards hell and be the instrument that Jesus uses to rescue them? 

Jude 1:23 (NKJV) '...but others save with fear,pulling them out of the fire...'

The Weekly Challenge: 

 1. Examine your heart and the reasons why you are selective with whom you share the gospel with or why you do not share your faith enough?

 2.  Make a commitment to take steps to change the things you find.

 3. Email us @ pgspreadtheword@gmail.com and tell us how you get on!

WEEK SIX: World Changing begins within...

Caption: The image above is that  of my dear friend and sister in Christ being baptized. 

Key Text: Matthew 28:19-20

'Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, and teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you. And surely I am with you always, to the very end of the age.'

Food for thought: Now the bible says that, 'it is by grace you have been saved, through faith—and this not from yourselves, it is the gift of God' (Ephesians 2:8). The action of baptism does not contribute to your salvation, ONLY the blood of Jesus saves us however He directs us to be baptized so we are baptized, as Christ was, out of obedience. Baptism is the outward show of an inward commitment to God. As we go into the water, it signifies dying to sin and and our old sin nature. As we come out of the water, this signifies rising in Christ and in newness of life. Baptism has been referred to as 'the silent witness' as it is the message of the gospel without words, a power demonstration of the power of Christ to save and change a life.

The Weekly Challenge: 

 1. Have you been baptized? 

* If yes, share the story with someone who is not saved explaining why you got baptized. 

* If no, get baptized and invite everyone you know and even those you do not know so well to come and witness the event, maybe even throw a dinner to celebrate this event and invite these people to come along.

Missionaries - Gospel for Asia

WEEK FIVE: World Changers Part 4 - "Go into all the world..."

Caption: This week’s picture is actually a poster I made to encourage my local church to give towards the work of the church branch we have in Accra, Ghana. This is also our ‘Ordinary People of the week image / people. In the picture is Pastor Simeon taken and His wife Harriet. They have taken the Great Commission to the next level and have sacrificed their lives literally to move from London, United Kingdom to Accra, Ghana to be missionaries and see the nation of Ghana won for the Kingdom of God! Wow! Imagine that! They didn’t just give up a couple of hours on Saturday or speak to someone during the course of their day (whilst living the life they wanted to live) no, they left all that was familiar behind them and took their children to a foreign nation to preach the gospel and minister to that nation. Wow!!!

Key Scripture: Mark 16:15 (AMP)

‘And He said to them, Go into all the world and preach and publish openly the good news (the Gospel) to every creature [of the whole human race].’

Food for Thought: 

We cannot all physically go to foreign nations to be missionaries as this requires a gifting and appointment from God if you are to go the distance and survive! But we can all be a part of the missionary journey and sacrifice by giving and praying. Missionary work is not free or cheap! This church in Accra, Ghana for example requires some two thousand pounds a month to keep it running, and in addition to that they are trying to build their own building, run a church van to get people to church, give to the poor in their congregation and surrounding areas…the list could go on…They need out support financially as well as our spiritual investment in prayer.

The Weekly Challenge: 

 1. Find a missionary work (that shares your beliefs and ethos) and find out how you can sponsor their work. Your church may already sponsor a missionary team, find out how you can be involved in that.

 2.  Make a commitment to pray for missionaries operating in one country regularly and keep tabs on their needs and add them to your prayer list (the ones you support financially is a good place to start).
