As Christians, we were placed on earth to spread the word of God. We have to reach to everyone through various means possible to let them know about the word of God. Churches usually conduct outreaches as ways of ministering. Well, there are different ways of doing outreaches, and so we will look at church outreach ways for reaching to lost souls.
Each and every ministry ought to have a program for reaching out to people. No single christian gathering can be able to offer all the types of outreach ministry. In his wisdom, God blessed us humans with unique gifts to excel in specific outreaches. Church outreaches can be categorized broadly into essential and optional ministries.
The essential ministries are those that each church has to perform. There are also these that the bible states and spells out clearly that should be done. Direct evangelism is one way of ministering. The scripture says that each member of the congregation has the responsibility of telling others about Jesus.
World missions are also essential. It is not just enough to tell your neighbors and friends about Jesus, you should reach out to others far away. The Bible says that each church should reach out to people about of the local community.
The poor and the needy are always despised in our society. As Christians, we should not be among those who despise them rather we should preach to them. When Jesus was describing the kingdom of God to his followers, he told them that helping the least of their brothers is important. Not helping the needy in clothing them, given them shelter and food, could make them miss heaven. When he talked about the least of our brothers, he meant those who are needy.
Jesus loves children, and as his disciples wanted to stop some children from seeing him, he told them to allow them. He also added that the kingdom of God belonged to them. We, therefore, have to minister to children of all ages. The enemy targets them since they are very vulnerable. We have to take the chance to save them before the enemy pounces on them.
The outreaches mentioned above are essential. Out of them, other ministries have been born including prison ministry. People in prison ought to know that God loves and cares for them. They need to feel the love of God, and his forgiveness since God forgives sin. The disabled and people in the military should also get to know about Jesus. The love of God is abundant, and his mercies never fail us, this is what we ought to preach.
Our youths have always been a target of the enemy. They easily fall into sin since they are at their active stage. We need to salvage them from such situation by instilling the word of God in them. By letting they know that God is in charge of their destiny they will gladly surrender their lives to him so that they can live fulfilling lives. Lastly, let us keep in mind that we are mandated to spread the word. God is faithful, loving and forgiving; that is the message that everyone needs to hear.
