If you were faced with the mission of getting the World saved, how would you do it? If you had the mission to see your family saved, how would you do it? What if your mission was to see your neighbourhood, or country saved, how would you do it?
I ask this question because It puts the mission first. "The main thing, is to make the main thing the main thing!" So often mission is something we do once or twice a week. Mission might be a section of the church like worship, or fellowship. But how often is it the whole thing?
How much of what we do as The Salvation Army is effective evangelism? Where do we see results? Where and how are people being saved? Please let me know because I want to learn from you.
Where are our travelling evangelists? Our Divisional, Territorial and International Evangelists? Where are the healing or prophetic evangelists? What about evangelistic crusades? Where are our evangelism classes? Evangelism schools? Evangelism confrences? When was the last time we as a Territory had Evangelism as a real and not just spoken priority?
Our mission is to see the world saved. Your mission is to lead as many people to Christ as you can. Dont beat yourself up for not evangelising, theres no time for that, instead write a list of all the names of people you know who dont believe in Jesus and get down on your kness and pray, then work out what the best way to get those people saved! One life at a time!
What are people doing Monday during the day or Tuesday night? I wanna do some street evangelism! Let me know if you wanna come!

Matthew 28: 18 - 20
Then Jesus came to them and said, "All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me. Therefore GO, make disciples of all nations, baptising 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"
Apparently, that word GO is literally translated "as you go". In other words, evangelism is not something that we have to go out and deliberately make time to do. It is a lifestyle. We should be doing that in our everyday lives. No matter what we do in life, every day we come in contact with people who don't know Jesus, whether it is at the shop or in our workplace or at the gym or walking down the street. AS YOU GO, MAKE DISCIPLES.
