Evangelism Focus in May 06

May 06 sparks the evangelism focus of the month. As much as we live out evangelism in our lives, there's no change in heart or transformation in life without the work of the Holy Spirit. Thus, like the disciples awaiting for the infilling of the Spirit on Pentecost, let's develop 2 things:

1) Communion with God - through daily Scripture reading and praying.
2) Communion with Man - that is to say fellowship.

As Pastor Anthony shared in his sermon today, there are some key areas to tackle first. These are the areas of: The Sin of Fear, The Sin of Guilt, The Sin of Inferiority, The Sin of Hatred.

The claim: Acts 1:8 - But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit comes on you; and you will be my witnesses in Jerusalem, and in all Judea and Samaria, and to the ends of the earth.

Please share with your cell members too. if possible, before every lesson channel in on some sharing with regards to How to be Christ's Ambassador, and come back to this verse. Meditate on it! Memorize it! Magnify it!

The desire outcome is for all our lives to be empowered by the Holy Spirit, thus whatever words we speak or actions we make will be significant step in bringing people to Christ.

Practical Means to Encourage Your Cell:
1) Participate in the GDOP 06 - Repentance and Call to Worship (check the other parts of the forum on http://jcclcs.neudot.com/forum for details)
2) Participate in the Conversational Evangelism Seminar, three sessions on 20, 27 May and 3 Jun (check the other parts of the forum on http://jcclcs.neudot.com/forum for details)
3) Before cell lessons, read on Acts (can prepare bible quiz too =P) and share how disciples of Christ should be. Hit on Acts 1:8, difference between Spirit-filled and .
4) Like Paul prayed for Philemon (Philemon 1:6) to be active in sharing faith, so he may know every good thing in Christ. Pray pray pray.... As our identity are children of God, so we have the identity also as Christ's Ambassador!
5) Participate in the forums, blog (http://pulseyouth.blogspot.com/), emails, etc.
6) Stay back after service or cell for STORM, then games and fellowship!

For Christ's Kingdom is a living and active kingdom!
