I want to introduce readers to this blog, by stating several purposes for why this blog exists.
1. To track our evangelistic endeavors as we share the Gospel with others, and tell of what God is doing in the communities that surround Harvest OPC and the greater Grand Rapids area.
2. To ask for prayer from the Church, and to bring the Church further into God's evangelistic activity.
3. To offer insight into how evangelism has changed, to note the various objections we are now facing, and how we as a Church may become wiser and more effective in talking to others about the Gospel.
4. To praise God and worship Him for everything that He is pleased to do through broken and flawed people.
I plan on updating this blog at least on a weekly basis, and would encourage anyone to join us, pray for us, link others to this blog, or help us out in whatever way you can. There will be more information to come shortly. But please begin to pray for us and encourage others to do the same.
Brad, Colin, Andrew,
ReplyDeleteI thank God for your initiative and efforts documented in this blog!
Recently I have been listening to the radio a lot at work. Providentially, I think, Truth For Life broadcasts have been on the topic of Evangelism! although I have not been able to listen to the programs uniterrupted, I have been impressed and blessed by what I have heard.
I suggest that you consider listening to Begg's messages and writing a review/synopsis of each. In fact, I hereby volunteer to take a stab at a few, if one or more of you guys are willing to review and consider posting.
