Making Christian Outreach Ministries A Success

By Bonnie Contreras


Christian Outreach Ministries are formed with an objective of reaching out to people with the Gospel of Christ. It is obvious that so many people out there are yet to hear about Christ. It is therefore important for the church to make sure that the gospel does not only reach these kinds of people but also help them to give their lives to Christ.

The journey to bring souls back to Christ and to renew the relationship between God and man is not an easy one. Since the time of the disciples, the Kingdom of God continues to suffer violence and the violent are the only ones to take it by force. Saving souls is a fierce battle, a war between Satan and God fearing humankind.

Knowing perfectly well that preaching the Good News of the Kingdom of God would be a great challenge, Jesus asks His disciples not to worry because He will be with them. In an attempt to address the great commission, He tells the disciples that He would be with them until the very last day. The last day will be the second coming of Christ and the accession of the body of Christ.

The mission of the disciples is a simple and straightforward one. A disciple is supposed to go out there, proclaim the good news of the kingdom to those who have and who have not, heal the sick, drive out demons, and baptize people in the name of the Father, of the Son and of the Holy Spirit. They are supposed to keep reminding people about the teachings of Christ and their journey to heaven.

Start making important prayers to God; ask Him to help you and the entire group to stay focus always so that everything you do is according to His glory. You can pray on your own if you want to because there is nothing wrong with that. However, you will need also to pray with your group and share ideas on how to make the mission of Christ successful.

You need to know your target area and once identified, use various forms of communication to welcome people from different parts of the surrounding to the meeting. You may need some financial support and in this case, discuss with your group and other volunteers how you will raise the funds for the ministry. You can also approach your pastor and or the church board and request them for support in raining funds required for the outreach program.

You need to know how to accomplish your goals and do not forget that you have to meet the vision of the group and the volunteers as well. You need to have a proper plan that will see to it that you meet the need of your target group. You must have strategies to keep them engaged in place.

The Christian Outreach Ministries leaders should encourage the members in the team to stay strong and always expect positive results. It is not going to be easy all through. However, with prayers, persistence and continued support from the church, many souls will definitely come to Christ
