Expand Your View of Witness Ministries

The Great Commission of Jesus Christ is plain and simple: Christians are to tell others about the gospel and encourage them to be baptized in the name of Jesus Christ (Matthew 28:18-20). There are four building blocks for witness ministries in any church, including the small church:

1.concern for people in the community who have no church home and the willingness to befriend those people with Christian love;

2.commitment to talk to and listen to God about concern for these people who may not know God;

3.willingness to develop effective and appropriate skills for sharing faith with those who have no faith or who may have lost it along the way, and to hear their stories as well;

4.pastoral and lay leadership willing to teach members of the church how to practice witnessing effectively and faithfully.

People do not make a commitment to Jesus Christ by chance. They do not learn by accident what faith demands regarding their relationship with God, humanity, other living things, and the land with all its rich resources. Witness ministries must be thoughtfully planned and implemented.
