God’s work entrusted to us;
And I saw another angel fly in
the midst of heaven, having the
everlasting gospel to preach unto
them that dwell on the earth,
and to every nation, and
kindred, and tongue, and people,
Rev. 14: 6
The church is God's agency for
the proclamation of truth,
empowered by Him to do a
special work; and if she is loyal to
Him, obedient to all His
commandments, there will dwell
within her the excellency of
divine grace. AA p. 602
Christ has given to the church a
sacred charge. Every member
should be a channel through
which God can communicate to
the world the treasures of His
grace, the unsearchable riches of
Christ.
AA p. 602
Many of the greatest scholars and
statesmen, the world's most
eminent men, will in these last days
turn from the light because the
world by wisdom knows not God.
Yet God's servants are to improve
every opportunity to communicate
the truth to these men.
AA p.242
Christ command is
And he said unto them,
Go ye into all the world,
and preach the gospel
to every creature.
Mark 16:15
Ricardo Norton said,
The entire societies exist completely
unaware of the gospel even in
Christian-dominated hemisphere
there are millions of people who do
not believe in the Bible and think
that going to church is a waste
of time.
Evangelism Principle & practice page 9
God’s command indicates that Christians must
take initiative to reach these communities.
Christ followers are the “ light of the world
and agent of salvation unto the end of the earth”
I the LORD have called thee in
righteousness, and will hold thine
hand, and will keep thee, and give
thee for a covenant of the people,
for a light of the Gentiles;
Isaiah 42:6
The incursion into territories to share the gospel
of Jesus is called penetration through Mass Media
This evangelism attemps to reach
people where they are and carries
the gospel across barriers that
obstruct its entrance.
Penetration evangelism;
In intentionally seeks opportunities
and unbiased ways to take the good
news to the quarters where the
unreached reside..
Jesus the paragon of evangelism began His Ministry
with this type of evangelism…
And Jesus went about all the cities
and villages, teaching in their
synagogues, and preaching the
gospel of the kingdom, and healing
every sickness and every disease
among the people.
Matt. 9 :35
As christians we cannot afford to ignore
this universal principle.
Adventists cannot sit back and
wait for visitors to come to our
congregations.
Today’s secular society views
Religious gatherings as irrelevant,
taking no initiative to vsit Christian
churches. The Saviour’s example
teaches that Christian must take
the church to them.
Evan. Principles & practice p. 10
Entering today’s hardshelled social structure is not easy...
How can evangelism penetrate
the vertical villages of Makati,
Hongkong, Tokyo, Singapore , to huge
high rise apartment buildings,
condominium which are totally
sealed to visitors, to villages in the
hinterlands unreachable by laymen?
How can Christianity, with different Bible, penetrate
Muslims,
Buddhists
And other religious
denominations?
How can the gospel be instilled in the face of
society’s current tendencies toward
Materialism
prejudice,
Secularism
Scientism
Atheism
and many ideologies that antagonize
Adventism & Christianity?
How we can penetrate hostile territories,
thus paving the way of the Gospel? It is,
Mass Media Evangelism- Penetrating
difficult places and mentalities
requires tact, love patience, and non
confrontational methods to penetrate.
Mass Media is probaly the easiest way
to penetrate hard-to-enter homes to
share the good news of the gospel.
This means of communication is so well
accepted that many would watch and
listen to individuals through radio and
television that the would not let their
homes in person. At the same time,
people who may shut their doors to
agents of the gospel may listen to them
through appropriate television or radio
programs in the privacy of their living
room or automobile.
The potential of mass media for
evangelism is paramount.
literature, radio, telephone,
cellphone, direct mail, eamail and
television have added new
dimension to evangelism
We have the fact that many of those
who access to radio, television, and
the internet several hours in a day in
contact with these communication
systems.
Christians can now contact sinners
in their homes without physically
invading their privacy they can
capture their attention through
nonreligious programs at first then
share the gospel with them right
where they are.
To have an idea of the power o
television for instance, it is
calculated that Jesus may have
talked to as many as 30,000 persons
during His lifetime, while Jerry
Falwell may talk to 30,000,000 in
one broadcast.
