GO

Matthew 28:19-20 “Go therefore and make disciples of all the nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, teaching them to observe all things that I have commanded you; and lo, I am with you always, even to the end of the age.” Amen.

 

It is coming on towards one completed year since we started leaving our church campus each Saturday morning to walk the neighborhoods of our city, one door at a time, to distribute packets filled with a DVD of the Jesus Movie, a Gospel Tract and a personal invite to our local church. After hand-delivering tens of thousands of gifts of love and hope provided by the nationwide ministry of Saturate USA, we have experienced why the Lord Jesus Christ commissioned His church to leave the four walls of the Sanctuary and go make disciples of all nations. 

 

Speaking with fellow citizens, we hear their concerns and fears for the declining morals and values of the nation, along with their desire for community stability, ethical unity and national peace. Many have told me that we were doing what the Christian church is supposed to be doing. Because evangelism is an expected ministry to the community and looked at as a vital function of all Christ-followers, because disciples make disciples that make disciples. The Great Commission was not the Great Suggestion.

 

It is always our prayer that the Holy Spirit go before us to each person that received  our Gospel packet at their door. And even though there is an invitation to our local church, it is our desire that the people watch the Movie, read the Gospel tract and a desire to seek Christ happen at any Bible-believing church leading to salvation, love, joy and peace in their life. It is a blessing that, though the total number is not known because not everybody tells us, our church has gained new members who came because they received one of our evangelistic door-hangers and/or talked to us at their home. Lives are being changed for the better and eternally because Jesus said to get off your pews and hit the streets to bring the message of Jesus Christ, the Savior of the world. Go!
