Evangelism Disciple
Acts 1:3 After his suffering, he showed himself to these men and gave many convincing proofs that he was alive. He appeared to them over a period of forty days and spoke about the kingdom of God.

There are a few things the evangelism disciple must keep in mind before doing the evangelism movement. First, evangelism is possible for anyone and everyone, but there are batons passed on in every age for the evangelism movement. The powerless Early Church received this baton. Second, Jesus brought some to understanding through his parables while others were left in the dark. Third, you must understand the flow of church history. As you pray with an understanding of this flow, you must humbly go about your ministry as the doors of evangelism open up.
1. Life goal
Everyone must have a life goal. First is regarding the evangelist’s consuming passion. Those who received answers all possess a deep passion. All of the 7 Remnants and members of the Early Church held onto this yearning passion of an evangelist. The second thing is a personal contract. “Why did God allow me to be brought up in this particular region, in this nation? Why did He call me to this church? Why did he commission me as a pastor?” If you set up a contract like so, you will see everything about yourself. The third is the beginning of uniqueness. There are countless graduates of prestigious universities, but so many more who have yet to know the Gospel. No matter how lacking, if you enjoy the Gospel, the answer of uniqueness will arise for you.
2. Evangelism goal
Set up an evangelism goal with your entire life goal in mind. “How can I bring this entire age and region and peoples to hear the Gospel? How will I share the Gospel to everyone in my field?” You will receive an answer if you think these thoughts. Looking at the entire picture, you must hold on to the conclusion, process, and end result. And because we are completely powerless, we must possess faith to look to God only. If you have an evangelism goal, the works will take place.
3. Daily life
You must receive answers regarding today’s Word, prayer and evangelism every day. If you receive answers, you will be happy and gain strength. As the life of the evangelist is continued daily and you gain strength on Sundays, the pulpit Word will actively work for the next 6 days of the week, you will receive answers, and you will understand that God is with you 24 hours a day.
- If an evangelism disciple remains in the Word, answers to questions will be given quickly. Hold on to what God considers most worthy and valuable.
