| Evangelism is an
act of faith and trust in the Lord because
it is actively sharing the love of God with
others. As in all activities, we must always
begin and end evangelism with prayer. With
prayer, we remind ourselves that evangelism
is not done through our own strength, but
through the power of God. This love that we
share is not our own love, but the love of
God that fills us and overflows to others.
Members of ACM
truly have witnessed the power of prayer
in evangelism. Members gather together to
pray before going out on campus. Always,
our prayers are for faith, firm conviction,
perseverance, and trust in the Lord. We
pray to meet those that God has prepared
to listen to His Word, and to share our
own testimonies of God's faithfulness to
reveal His love and grace to others. Though
we may be insufficient in speech and lacking
in appearance, the Lord graciously guides
us and encourages us. He reminds us that
the power of His Word and the grace of the
Holy Spirit are what catch people, and not
our own methods.
In addition, evangelism
should conclude with prayer, to give thanks
for the Lord's strength throughout the time
of evangelism and to lift up everything
to the Lord's hands. Pray for His guidance
for those you have met during evangelism,
and bring your requests before the Lord
to open the hearts of these new lambs. The
Lord will truly guide and prepare each step
of the way and expand the missions when
we pray with earnest and sincere hearts.
So, let us come before the Lord with faith
and hope, beginning evangelism with the
Lord on our side and lifting up each victory
to the Lord in prayer. |
