As we enter another year we want to encourage you to make evangelism a priority in your life as never before.  If you have not been sharing the gospel then we encourage you to start sharing today.  Personal evangelism is perhaps the Christian’s greatest fear. We are faced with all kinds of fears such as; I may not know what to say. They might ask me a question I cannot answer. I might fail. I am not gifted in evangelism. That’s the pastor’s job or I’m afraid.

It has to be said that witnessing is one of the most neglected commands in all of Scripture!

While Bible reading and prayer are also disregarded by the average Christian, witnessing has to be the least practiced of the Christian disciplines.

When we consider the fact that Jesus’ final words to the church were a challenge to spread the gospel to the entire world, it seems ironic that most Christians have never personally led another individual to Christ or shared their faith with an unbeliever.

There is not a Christian who has not felt the same fear at one time or another. We all have feelings of anxiety when it comes to sharing the gospel with an unbeliever. So, fear is no real excuse.

Witnessing is not an option…reaching the lost is not a suggestion…, it’s a command!

Matthew 9:37 says “...The harvest truly is plenteous, but the labourers are few” How can more labourers be raised up to go the nations?” Jesus gave the answer, in the very next verse: Someone has to pray these labourers into the harvest. Matthew 9:38 therefore pray the Lord of the harvest to send out labourers into His harvest.”

Let us continue steadfast in prayer that God will send a revival that will shake this nation, and eventually the world, standing on this promise of God that says: “Ask of me, and I will make the nations your inheritance, the ends of the earth your possession” Psalm 2:8

Let 2012 be the year that this command is the most observed and obeyed... Mark 16:15 And he said unto them, Go ye into all the world, and preach the gospel to every creature.
