Home Evangelism - Don't Knock It, We're in Good Company
Dear Prayer Warriors, Jesus - Revelation 3:20, "Here I am! I stand at the door and knock. If anyone hears My voice and opens the door, I will come in and eat with him, and he with me." Paul - Acts 20:19-20, "You know that I have not hesitated to preach anything that would be helpful to you but have taught you publicly and from house to house." John and Pastor Ravil - Out Knocking On Tuesdays and Wednesday nights, Pastor Ravil and I are visiting homes and presenting the Gospel. We have dinner with a family and then go over the Gospel point by point. Just about every family in the church has at least one non-Christian in their extended family. We have dinner with their family, and then over dessert, I take the whole family through the Four Spiritual Laws evangelistic booklet. Campus Crusade for Christ has this in Russian so it is very handy. This has been a great experience and has turned out to be a blessing in multiple ways. Pastor Ravil is getting experience in making home evangelistic calls. The Christian family members are so excited that there is a natural and inoffensive way to expose their friends and families to the gospel. The Christians present are renewed in their faith, convictions and understanding of the Gospel. I have the privilege of presenting Christ in Russia. You have the privilege of preparing the way and empowering the Gospel through your intercessions. Your gifts make you co-laborers with us as the Gospel tracts and Bibles used are supplied by your faith offerings. God is glorified. The angels are rejoicing. Satan is defeated. It does not get much better than this! Actually, one of the unexpected results of these home calls has been a renewed understanding and confidence in the Gospel of the Christians present. Even in homes where all are presumed to be Christians, I pass out the booklets and walk them through the Gospel. This has always been a blessing and cause for renewal for all who participate. It reminds me so much of the exhortations of God the Holy Spirit through the letters of Paul, Peter and Jude… 1 Corinthians 15:1, "Now, brothers, I want to remind you of the gospel I preached to you, which you received and on which you have taken your stand." 2 Peter 1:12, "So I will always remind you of these things, even though you know them and are firmly established in the truth you now have." Jude 5, "Though you already know all this, I want to remind you." By His mercy II Corinthians 4:1 Rev. John S. Mahon - Grace Community Int. Tyumen, Russia
