Ive been going ok with the evangelism challenge. I havent been very good at getting to 5 every day but I have been evangelising every day. I have been searching for people to talk to about Jesus. I have found tracts to be really really helpful.

This gets me thinking, why does The Salvation Army, an organisation with a motto "The world for God", not have tracts? If The Salvation Army is trying to get the world saved then shouldnt we be leading the way in Evangelism teaching, resourcing, equipping and empowering?

Im not just talking tracts now, I mean, TV, internet, clothes and merchandise, evangelism resources, evangelism training kits. We really should be leading the way, but we're not. Where are our goals? Where is has the vision of "The world for God" gone?

Dont frett though. This years "Go For Souls" is to be held in September is shaping up to be HUGE! We're getting BIG time speakers who lead scores of people to Christ. Church planters, crusade evangelists, personal/friendship evangelists, tract designers etc! We're hoping to launch the worlds leading evangelism resourcing website and a new Christian resource that encourages sharing faith straight away!

We're hoping to get all sorts of merchandise out, evangelism kits, training resources, cds, dvds. We're planning mission trip crusades to country corps and possibly overseas.

We're trying to raise up a generation of zealous, fire filled, vision orientated evangelists that will lead millions of people to Christ and usher in the coming of the King! Thats right the return of Christ! A big vision, but definately possible!

The revolution is well on its way!

Who are you evangelising to today? Go For Souls!

Need help? Call me, email me, get in touch, and we'll do it together! We'll even orgainse speakers.trainers to teach evangelism to your corps before the conference! We need to get on it, lets do it!

BLOOD AND FIRE
