Six Simple Steps to Keeping Outreach-Focused
Each leader plays a key role in motivating others in evangelism. However, for us to be able to impart a heart for the lost into our leaders, we must have this as an everyday part of our own lives. It is through your living example that you will be able to impart and sustain a harvesting gene into your leaders.
Here are six practical steps I strive to keep in my life on a daily basis to maintain a harvest mindset:
1. Possess It- You must contend for it, as it is not what you confess, but what you possess that counts.
2. Pray It- Make it a daily part of your prayer life, and ask the Lord to stir you in evangelism. Take that opportunity whenever it presents itself to pray this over those in your leadership group as well.
3. Discuss It- It has been said, “you get what you preach.” Take the time to discuss evangelism ideas in every meeting.
4. Encourage It- People need constant encouragement, especially when it comes to evangelism. Encourage those in your group toward every evangelistic effort that is put forth.
5. Assist It- Get involved whenever your church is hosting some form of outreach.
6. Model It- Jesus led by example, we should do likewise. Look for opportunities to bring your friends and neighbors to your small group meeting as well.
