Witness: Empowering the Church Through Worship, Community, and Mission
Witness Empowering the Church Through Worship Community and Mission Author:A. Grace Wenger, Dave Jackson, Neta Jackson Telling others about Christ is not an option like dessert after a full meal. It is part of the nature of being Christian. Evangelism must be continuous, the normal patter of church life. Winning others to Christ is the church's reason for existance. — "For congregations to be evangelistic they do not have to revitalize their church struc... more »ture, set up more committees, or even recuirt every last member to get involved. Through vivid examples, Jacksons show that witness can emerge out of groups already in existence in the church as long as there is a guiding purpose for outreach and verbal witness.
"Worship services, where members show newcomings that they believe God is real, are in themselves a witness. There is also a witness in bringing the unchurched within the fellowship of believers where they see love and understanding even is difficult circumstances."
Witness has 13 chapters with discussion questions. Individuals and groups who study it will be grounded in Scripture, steered by sound principles, and stimulated by stories of witnessing.« less
