The method of evangelization
Acts 13:1~3 While they were worshiping the Lord and fasting, the Holy Spirit said, “Set apart for me Barnabas and Saul for the work to which I have called them.” (2)

When you hold on to the promise of Christ, the kingdom of God, and the experience of the Holy Spirit, the forces of Satan crumble. The people who held on to this promise, namely, the disciples, were the method of world evangelization. God has prepared the disciples who know this promise in each and every place. There is nothing more urgent and important than experiencing this covenant. Through what process will the disciples continue to arise?
1. The answer to find in the Bible
If you look at the entire Bible, it appeared as if the 7 Remnants° and the figures of Hebrews 11 were in the midst of dire circumstances. However, God gave them the answer of finding disciples, and through the Early Church that was falsely accused as a heresy, God gave the grace to run the errand of finding the disciples that God desired. If you come to the answer in Christ, the forces of darkness crumble, and the work of the Holy Spirit will begin. When we have the Gospel and enjoy the mystery of the kingdom of God and the filling of the Holy Spirit that is in Christ, God will lead us to meet, find and see the disciples.
2. The answers hidden within persecution
Throughout the Book of Acts, we see the account of God raising true disciples during times of persecution. God opens the most important door for the disciples who experience Christ, the kingdom of God and the Holy Spirit, even in the midst of persecution and hardship. Find the most important thing that God has prepared, and try experiencing the life of the evangelist in which you devote yourself.
3. The answer hidden in crises
In even greater hardships and crises, Paul experienced the even greater work of the disciple and saw the time schedule of Rome evangelizationAct 19:21 that no one else could see. In addition, even amidst the hardship of standing before the Sanhedrin, he received the answer of confirming the time schedule of Rome evangelization. If you confirm your spiritual sense of identity, the blessing of crises changing into answers will begin. From the moment you realize that God has called you as an evangelist to save the field, you just need to prepare the vessel to contain the works of God.

Even now, the entire world is dying. Although thirsting individuals are wandering, there is no evangelist who will go to them. What kind of heart do I have in my circumstances that appear to be filled with persecution and crises?
