The depth of the Evangelist as a Minister

The depth of the Evangelist as a Minister

Evangelism can be done as Christians live their regular life.  You can witness to your friends, family and co-workers as you go through the day or perhaps take them to lunch or have a cup of coffee with them.


You can pray for them daily and simply be a Light in their world: available for them when they need you.


We perceive Pastors however to be Ministers; men with a deeper training, experience and understanding of Scripture.  When Christians have questions or need serious help they go to their Pastor.


Evangelists likewise are to be perceived as Ministers; they have a commitment to the Word and Prayer (Acts 6:4); a significant amount of experience witnessing and ministering to unbelievers; additionally they have interacted with authorities during their evangelism, encountered lots of opposition, and have been immersed in the world of evangelism.


Thus the Evangelist has the experience, training and understanding in their world of evangelism as the Pastor does in his world of pastoring. 


This is a major part of the teaching Bill Adams does at the Summer Conference.  Teaching this reality and emphasizing to the Evangelist they need to respond to this higher calling. They are not 'evangelism volunteers' they are Ministers of the Word now and should live and prepare to meet that calling.

WHY GO FULL TIME?

By Bill Adams • December 3, 2020
Every step we take towards full-time evangelism leads us to a more intimate relationship with the Lord and in turn, we reap the rewards by receiving love, joy, hope, patience and kindness. Preaching full-time rather than just at the weekends, helps us to get to know the Lord better and helps those that hear you preach the Gospel to know the Lord better too. There are so many wonderful benefits to becoming a full time evangelist, the fellowship, the experience of ministering to the people and the closeness you will feel to the Lord as you preach. Full-time evangelism makes dealing with resistance you face much easier. Listen to my video as I explain the simple truth about why being full time is so much more beneficial than preaching part-time. I hope it will inspire you as it inspires me each and every time I'm out there with the Lord standing right beside me.

WHY BE FULL TIME NOW?

By Bill Adams • December 3, 2020
All too often I meet people who tell me that they are interested in becoming an evangelist...one day. But why wait until you're older to regret doing something you wished you would have done when you were younger? Time waits for no man. If the lord is calling to you right here, right now, you must heed that call and follow the path to full-time evangelism. Don't let everyday obstacles get in your way. The Lord has equipped you with all that you need, particularly if you have youth on your side. He has given you the energy and the focus that you need to spread the word. Listen to my video as I explain the importance of not waiting, of facing the obstacles that stand in your way and taking the leap of faith that you need to step into full-time evangelism.

MONEY: WHY RAISING IT IS BEST

By Bill Adams • December 3, 2020
1 Timothy 6:10 "For the love of money is the root to all kinds of evil. By craving it, some have wandered away from the faith and pierced themselves with many sorrows". Today in America, it can be seen that the stature of a man's wealth seems far more important than the stature of a man's righteousness. Once in that trap of earning money and being dazzled by the material things it can buy you, it's hard to keep faith, stand back and look at where life is taking you. Becoming a full time evangelist can be a daunting prospect when faced with the problem of how to earn money whilst preaching the Gospel. The answer lies in fundraising. Listen to Bill Adams speak about why raising money is best and better understand how becoming a full time evangelist can be achieved.

DAILY, CONSISTENT, DEPENDABLE MINISTRY

December 2, 2020
The GWP is designed to create a daily, consistent and dependable ministry in an area vs. a sporadic, inconsistent, undependable ministry. What this means is that a GWP evangelist commits to preach daily in consistent locations so the Word can saturate more completely a group of people. A location is a college campus, a sports venue, a local park or a downtown area. In each of these areas there should be a consistent group of people or events that attract people. The GWP evangelist would be at each location on a consistent basis to saturate the hearers with the Word and to be available to minister to the people personally. The opposite perspective for an evangelist is to wake up every day, decide where or if to go and for what length of time. This sporadic, inconsistent and undependable strategy doesn’t saturate an area with the Gospel, prohibits personal ministry and ultimately limits the depth of the work of the Word in an area. The more consistent work of the GWP evangelist leads to a more in-depth and penetrating ministry of the Word. So again, the GWP Program is designed for the evangelist to have a daily, consistent and dependable ministry in an area to saturate it with the Gospel, to be available for personal ministry and for the Word to penetrate it deeply with the possibility of bringing a transformation of the area.
