How Proper Church Outreach Can Lead To Growth

By Tammie Caldwell


One of the responsibilities that Jesus left to his disciples is to go into the world and make new followers. The church doctrine requires that people go out and minister the gospel to others. It is, for this reason, that churches have a ministry that is responsible for reaching out to people who do not know the faith. What is church outreach and its impact to a society?

Remember we also saved not by our works by the faith that we profess in Christ Jesus. We live at a time that people and churches are self centered, and they have drawn the line between themselves in the society. It is in the mission of Christ that he preached to every person and made an impact in his or her life.

Some people are always in the habit of judging other people and the think that they live a better life, and there is no need to reach out to them. Christ Jesus humbled himself into human flesh so that he could share the love of God with humanity. Christians should also emulate the same kind of life.

A Christian establishment that desires to grow and reach different parts of their locality has no excuse because there are many avenues that they can use. If you are a pastor, you can train your members of the new ways to do outreach. You first need to look at the social gatherings that people like and use the same activities to organize a church function.

A church that wants to grow must invest their resources into preaching the word of God. Preaching does not mean that it is done in the confines of the churches only, but it means that you get out of the world and reach out to the lost souls. Life after you have given your life to Christ can be so satisfying to the extent that you only feel that you are the only person entitled to salvation.

The work we were left with on earth before the second coming of Christ was to preach the gospel to all areas. It is the desire of our Father in heaven that more people give their lives and follow his ways. The society have decayed because the church has gone into prosperity gospel forgetting that their mission is to serve the interest of God.

Jesus says in the bible that he is the truth, way and life and that if any person wishes to go to the father it must be through him. That means that pastors should begin to preach the true gospel of the father, son and holy spirit. Some pastors are in the habit of preaching money and other life issues forgetting that they are called into the ministry as servants of God.

In the ministry of outreach, a person needs to forget about their status and visit all places the rich and the poor and share with them the love of Christ. A church that has a plan to transform lives in their time must make a habit of going to the people with evangelism. If we remain in our comfort zone, there is no way we can change the lives of other people.
