Evangelism in Future Ministry The future of my ministry revolves around pastoring a local congregation. With that said, evangelism and multiplication must and will be an integral part of my ministry. I, first of all, must model effective evangelism. Secondly, I must create an evangelistic culture within the church so that every disciple of Christ is engaged in evangelistic efforts. My first efforts will be to continue growth in my own personal life. The principles that were taught in this class could very easily go “in one ear and out the other.” These next few weeks and months are critical in order to ensure this content becomes a lifestyle and not just a lesson learned once upon a time.

Most of these can be immediately applied. There are several that I will endeavor to employ and intertwine in my life. First, I will work to learn how to use conversation joggers and the five questions that allows one to enter into a spiritual conversation.

This brings a tremendous responsibility upon me as a redeemed child of God. Because I have been blessed with an overabundance of God’s love, I must, in turn, show His love to others that I come in contact with. With the help of the content of this class, the Lord has empowered me to become His light to display to a lost and dying world. It is my responsibility to become that vessel everywhere I go and to bring honor to Him. I must do all I can do to fulfill God’s desire to bring hope, love, life, and many other things to each person I cross paths with. In essence, I am called as a missionary to make disciples of Jesus
