inFrom Robert E. Coleman’s The Master Plan of Evangelism:
Having called his men, Jesus made a practice of being with them. This was the essence of his training program—just letting his disciples follow him.

inGordon Ferguson reminds us that most spiritual truths are best learned from OJT (on-the-job-training). If we are to learn how to live like Jesus, we need to learn from our discipling relationships.
Most of what we learn in life is learned by OJT (on-the-job training). We watch big brother tie his shoes, and then we imitate him. We watch Dad change the tire on the car, and we quickly know far more than if we had spent a couple of hours reading the manual. Nowhere is this principle more important than in learning spiritual truths. Discipling is all about learning from someone else as they are following Jesus.

inEd Stezer shares three ways to encourage our churches to not avoid the topic of evangelism.
For pastors, avoiding the topic of evangelism cannot become the default choice. For the church to continue thriving, we need everyone—churchgoers young and old—to buy into a shared passion for the spreading of the gospel. If our hearts are truly for the unbelievers—those who haven’t yet heard the good news of God’s love for them—we’ll be willing to face discomfort, difficulty, and even the possibility of failure to share it with them.

inIt’s sometimes difficult to define what exactly is needed on the mission. We speak of “the mission” need as seeking and saving the lost, to sharing the gospel and to reaching a hurting world, but what does this entail exactly?
From the Bible and from Jesus’ many callings in the ministry we can summarise the mission need as the need for three things.
There are many more needs, these are just a few. While the needs at each mission field are profound, we can be confident that God can provide in all situations. Who knows? God could also provide through your faithful decision to go on a One Year Challenge!
Consider these three needs and consider meeting those needs at one of our OYC sites. Register today for more information at oneyearchallenge.org.

inFrom Gordon Ferguson’s Romans: The Heart Set Free
The only motivation for serving God that can last a lifetime is our love responding to his grace. Fear may get our attention, but it will not keep it to the same degree that grace will.

inAre you using ministry as a way to “find yourself”? Jesus taught the opposite. Ministry is about denying ourselves and giving our lives to others for Christ.
True, biblical church planting is profoundly others-centered. It’s about the glory of God and the good of others. Therefore, church planting ought to be one of the most self-denying causes we could ever pursue. But somehow, we manage to make the glorious story of the progress and prevailing of Christ’s bride about us.
