One of the responsibilities that Jesus left to his disciples is to go into the world and make new followers. The church doctrine requires that people go out and minister the gospel to others. It is, for this reason, that churches have a ministry that is responsible for reaching out to people who do not know the faith. What is church outreach and its impact to a society?

It is a negative trend, and Christians need to change because how will we be able to fulfill the great commission if we live such life. Churches can also tap the potential of the internet and preach the gospel to a wider reach of people. In the olden days, Christ would teach in the open air where he met people, and he was able to preach without any problem.

There are many churches in this day and age that has transformed the lives of people because of preaching the word in open air areas or holding conventions. The internet is also expanding to areas that missionaries could not reach in the olden days. Now with a click of a button a person can reach sermons or stream live services from the comfort of their home.

Soul winning is not a favor that we are doing to the kingdom of God. But is it a responsibility and a command that each Christian should personalize in their context. You can preach at work as well as you can also preach by writing Christian blog posts. Others can preach by physically going to the areas that are not reached and sharing with them the love of Christ.

We should always put it at the back of our minds that there are people that met the cost of our salvation. We should then come out of the comfort zone and share the word. The churches that have adopted the right strategies in outreach have grown tremendously, and they have also been able to impart the life of other people. The reason that the early church was vibrant is because they understood the real meaning of the great commission.

The work we were left with on earth before the second coming of Christ was to preach the gospel to all areas. It is the desire of our Father in heaven that more people give their lives and follow his ways. The society have decayed because the church has gone into prosperity gospel forgetting that their mission is to serve the interest of God.

Jesus says in the bible that he is the truth, way and life and that if any person wishes to go to the father it must be through him. That means that pastors should begin to preach the true gospel of the father, son and holy spirit. Some pastors are in the habit of preaching money and other life issues forgetting that they are called into the ministry as servants of God.

The Bible teaches that those that will emulate the example of Jesus will get bigger crowns when the time of inheriting the kingdom. We have the potential to succeed in outreach ministry because we have the holy spirit that guides us each day. Some individuals in the Christian faith think it is the work of the pastors and the ministers to preach. But little did they know that the walk to heaven is a shared responsibility and outreach are the best way we can reach everyone near us.
