Evangelism
The
Outreach Programs of our Church
Our church
in the Gambia, despite being small and lacking ordained personnel
and support, has voted to implement a Senegambia outreach strategy
to finish the work of proclaiming the gospel of Christ in the
Gambia.
General Objectives
- Spiritual
Nurture
- Soul-winning
and community outreach
- Education
and training of leaders, workers and lay men and women.
- To reach
all unreached people groups in the Gambia by 2010.
Strategy
- Revival
and reformation of the church that it may be more sound in doctrine.
- Evangelism
to enter and establish communications into five new people group
areas yearly in the Gambia.
- Train pioneers
to serve the church in their capacities.
- Seek support
for evangelism and leadership training
Present
Evangelistic Strategy
Although
we at present lack support for our programs in the Gambia, the
Lord gives us unity, wisdom and strength. The church is active
in :
- Public
Evangelism: Members of the church always gather together
in prayers in the cities and urban centers.
- Children's
Ministry: This is another important strategy which has been
used to teach children of our membership and incoming children
through evangelism for baptismal classes.
