The Heartbeat of the Church!

Whatz up ya’ll, check out my new blog and website!

I was asked today does your Church do Outreach? I couldn’t imagine being apart of a church that didn’t do outreach? Scripturally Jesus said that we are to teach the Gospel to all the nations. The nations maybe your block it doesn’t always have to be the world. The people that we minister to here are people that may never step foot into a church. So we bring the Gospel to them.

I started witnessing the next day after I got saved, and part of my reason was I wanted everyone to know that I was a Christian and when I began to search the scriptures I found out that was what we are commanded to do. I then took it to another level when I found out the tools that you can use to do outreach. The same tools that are on my website. Something simple as giving out bottled water on the street corner or sandwiches for the homeless. Even playing basketball with kids on a playground. There are many avenues that God uses to open up the doors to share the gospel. The problem is that most of us don’t see those different avenues.

I witnessed RWOC grow from 400 members to 2000 members as a result of doing outreach in 3 neighborhoods with 3 buses and 15 volunteers spending 2 hours a week knocking on doors. You see we do it Door-By-Door, Block-By-Block. I know your thinking it is NOT all about numbers, but some reason Jesus left 99 to go after the 1 and for some reason God named a book of the bible Numbers! I don’t think it matters that weather you’re a mega church or a church with 50 members. What matters is… are you reaching your full potential with what you got? If all you have is a flyer that is inviting people to your church that is a form of outreach.

A mentor and great friend of mine who pastors the largest inner city church in America often preaches a sermon called "The Need is the Call." His name is Bill Wilson and he is what he preaches. Bill’s mother left him on a street corner for 3 days when he was only 7 years old and never came back. At that point of his life his destiny was prison, the grave yard and a card board box in a park, but he turned what the enemy meant for his destruction, he turned it around for God as a ministry.

I grew up in a Christian home with both Mother and Father who took me to church most of my adolescent life. As a result of my poor decisions, I made some really bad choices after high school. My destiny was the same as Bill’s, but when God saved me and begin to straighten out my mess the only thing I wanted to do was repay God and give back to the people I once caused pain to.

So I ask you today to think back to where God brought you from. Have you turned around what the enemy meant to destroy.
