Joint Rural Evangelism Project.
Many churches struggle with evangelism; both the concept and the practice. Yet the first two of the widely-recognised Five Marks of Mission explicitly anticipate evangelism by the local church, or assume that it is part of that church’s ongoing life:
• To proclaim the Good News of the Kingdom
• To teach, baptise and nurture new believers
The reasons for such struggles with evangelism may be many, and can include:
• Their assume that people in the rural areas are poor and so they don’t think of going to preach the gospel
• some of them are afraid to be rejected by their family and become a burden to the church.
• Afraid of very tedious roads
• Afraid of poisonous and dangerous snakes and animals
• Not willing or find it difficult to provide their needs.
Many lost souls are waiting to hear the gospel. Partnership with us to make it posible. Its our prayer that God will let this come to pass.
