That was the title of my message this morning based on Matt. 28:19-20.
Plugging into the Great Commission is what it's all about.
"But I'm not gifted for evangelism," you say. Then touch people in ways appropriate to your own giftedness. God isn't so much asking you to tell people what a friend they have in Jesus as in showing them what a friend they have in you. So love them. Love them until they ask you why. The truth is, your relationship with Christ is the single most important qualification for becoming a redemptive person.
"Are you saying that evangelism is a way of life?" Yesirree! Evangelism is simply a way of revealing the truth about God's character through the particulars of everyday living. One of my friends used to put it this way: "Life is a mission trip. Take it." I thank God for professional missionaries and the impact they are making on global evangelism. Such godly giants are few and far between. But their ministries depend on the faithfulness of common foot soldiers like you and me.
Church, unleash the foot soldiers, the troops in the trenches! Turn them loose! Release them to use their skills, gifts, and hobbies as redemptive tools!
