Re: Church good at evangelization
I wasn't aware plain's evangelisation scope was limited to canned conversations or sermons. It may have been, then it took a good turn and expanded. plain hasn’t commented, yay or nay. It's not limited. As I did write, we need many different kinds of evangelisation, and, I think, we need to (also) ...

Re: Church good at evangelization
Thanks for the bible word. Sounds like a nice church of yours, that encouraged sharing the Gospel. Also want to be in a church like that.

Re: Church good at evangelization
Imo, good evangelism that results in salvation is followed up by discipleship training of the new convert. One does not leave a new born in life to grow on it's own and the same goes for new spiritual babes. They need lots of attention as they step into an new life in Christ. That there are discipl...

Re: Church good at evangelization
As far as Mennonites, I believe their biggest challenge, for those who are evangelistic minded, will be to get past their ethnic barriers. The MBs, in our city, are the only ones I know of, that have broken through this barrier and have a growing percentage of non-ethnic Mennonite folk. They still ...

Re: Church good at evangelization
I need to be a lot more willing to step out of my comfort zone when I’m out and about and also be willing to politely disagree sometimes. Yes that seems like a good prayer and also to be ready when someone is just standing there. I also need more of these, and pray more for this in my morning prayer.

Re: Church good at evangelization
I've known men that made it their passion to do street preaching. One in particular would take a days off of their job and go into Reading and try to evangelize. That is great. Hopefully there is churches out there with a spirit like this. Passion for evangelization. Not a passion for church servic...

Re: Church good at evangelization
There’s a few people who really seem dedicated to reaching out to people, and of course, others not so much, but I do appreciate that about here versus some other Mennonite churches I have seen. I honestly need to do better at reaching out to people, because sometimes I really waste opportunities. ...

Re: Church good at evangelization
Some of us in our church are investing a lot of time in evangelism. Basically, our work is planting spiritual seed. I wish there were more immediate results, but we are leaving that up to God. If there is some of you that investing time in evangelism it is great. Hopefully the other members will pu...
