Evangelism 1
Evangelism is not a word I have heard often at churches in the past few years.
Why should we do it?
Why don't we see so much about it?
What does the Bible say?
How to do it?
Did you know that young adults, age between 20–30 in Sweden who say they believe in God is about 18%. In Denmark, a country very close the figure is 34%.
Why is that so?
According to the research, almost all practising Christians believe that part of their faith means being a witness about Jesus. Between 94 and 97 per cent say the best thing that could ever happen to someone is for them to know Jesus.
However, many Millennials in the US are unsure about the actual practise of evangelism. Almost half (47 per cent) agree at least somewhat that it is wrong to share ones personal beliefs with someone of a different faith in hopes that they will one day share the same faith.
John Zmirak, writer and editor says, there are more Face book users than Christian's in the world.
The church is growing like never. The church has never been this huge as it is today, in Asia, Africa, South America. But sad to say not in Europe...
Around 4 times more Muslims gather at the mosque on Fridays than Christian's at the church on Sundays in the UK.
The biggest Pentecostal churches in Brazil were founded by Swedes, and I do hope and pray it will continue to do so, but that kind of missions, don't get me wrong can be like standing and looking with binoculars. You see everything in the distance but everything close to you is out of focus.
True story! A Pastor in England was approached after the service by a man who wanted prayers. The man handed over his business card. He is working for Microsoft. The Pastor was very surprised when he read his business card. It said he was an Evangelist.
The secular world is kidnapping Christian word and a word Evangelist that many churches do nowadays not really like!
It looks dark when you present facts like this, sorry but we need to face them.
But there is HOPE! A lot of great news around us and of cause our greatest hope is Jesus.
