September's Empowered Newletter

Note from Chip:

Welcome to the very First Evangelism Update Newsletter. This will be sent out once a month to let each of you know What Our Evangelism Teams are doing. Please Note we are looking for serious Christian who want to do What Jesus Did, seek and save the lost! We have teams that go out weekly to whereever people gather to share the gospel with them. We are being obedient to the Great Commandment to Preach the Gospel to every Creature.

If you are interested please Contact Evangelist Farris, Deacon Ford, Evangelist Dilworth and Evangelist Chip. We would like to know who will be coming out with us each week.

I will be leading a Team out Saturday, Sept 22, 2007. IF no one contacts me then I will go out in Russellville, Alabama. You can let me know by emailing me at gnnshoalsareateam@gmail.com We also have a Message Board at http://gnnshoalsareateam.org . Click on the message board link and create an account and password. You will have access to lot of Evangelistic infomation and training. When you become a Proven Seed Sower you and choosen as a Team Leader you will have excess to Team Leader Only Board on the Message Board. This takes a special passwords and it will be emailed to you when you become a Team Leader. There will be a lot of training you will be able to look at both when you join our team and more once you become a Team Leader.

You may also want to join the Great News Network at http://thegreatnews.com they also have a message board and you get to intereact with other Seed Sowers and get more resources for the serious Christian who wants to win the lost. When I end a class at Ekklessia Church, I always try to tell everyone, it may be the end of the class but not the end of the training. Three ways to continue your Evangelism Training is:

(1) Go out with one of Our Evangelism Teams and bring a friend who wants to learn, even if they are from another Church. This is about the Kingdom.

(2) Join both message boards I suggested above.

(3) When any other Evangelism Classes are offered please attend them and do all the assignments. If you have missed any video's or handouts you can go to the message board and view them on-line and download the handouts.

Questions & Objections:

This Q&A comes from The Evidence Bible.

Q. Does someone go to hell for committing suicide?

A. Those who are adamant that a person who takes his life is committing a mortal sin, and will go to hell, are basing their belief on church doctrine rather than on the Bible. Scripture is silent on the subject. There are no verses that say "He who takes his own life shall be damned." According to Scripture, only one sin does not have forgiveness, and that is blasphemy of the Holy Spirit. That means there is forgiveness for every other sin.

Some quote 1 Corinthians 3:17, which says that God will destroy someone who "defiles" the temple of the Holy Spirit. Yet, there is disagreement about what it means to defile the temple. Does this include suicide? Does it include illicit drug abuse (slow suicide), prescription drug abuse, cigarettes (deliberately breathing in poisons that will eventually kill), tattoos, over-eating (digging a grave with your spoon), or alcohol abuse?

God forbid that we add to the pain of someone who has lost a loved one through the tragedy of suicide, by making a judgment about their eternal destiny. God is the ultimate Judge, and we should therefore leave the issue in His hands. It would be wise to follow the biblical example and not come to any verdict in the case of suicide.

Way of the Master Evangelism Training:



We would be glad to host a Way of the Master evangelism training for your church or small group. This one-day "Empowered seminar" is a proven, effective way to help people overcome their fear of witnessing and show them how to reach out to the lost. We will quickly equip those who attend to simply and effectively share their faith with family, friends, and strangers. What makes our training unique is when the classroom training is over, you have the option to hit the streets and immediately start to use the new tools you have just learned. The seminar consists of the following activities:
Three powerful interactive messages that will equip the attendees in how to share the gospel effectively and biblically with anyone, anytime, anywhere.
Quick Tips on how to have fun sharing your faith while overcoming your fears.
Quick Tips on how to effectively witness one-2-one using the Way of the Master.
Hands-on, in-the-trenches training with proven leaders.
The One-Day Empowered Training is Usally $25.00 to all who attend. This include all matterials you will need to enhance your training. Lunch will be provided and also tracts so you can go out with us after the training to put the biblical principles into practice you just learned.

** The Way of the Master has been commended by Franklin Graham, Dr. D. James Kennedy, David Wilkerson, Bill Gothard, John MacArthur, Ravi Zacharias, David Jeremiah, Joni Eareckson Tada, Josh McDowell, and many other Christian leaders.
