As Christians, we were placed on earth to spread the word of God. We have to reach to everyone through various means possible to let them know about the word of God. Churches usually conduct outreaches as ways of ministering. Well, there are different ways of doing outreaches, and so we will look at church outreach ways for reaching to lost souls.
Each and every ministry ought to have a program for reaching out to people. No single christian gathering can be able to offer all the types of outreach ministry. In his wisdom, God blessed us humans with unique gifts to excel in specific outreaches. Church outreaches can be categorized broadly into essential and optional ministries.
Essential outreaches refer to those that we must carry out. There are some that are stated clearly in the Bible that we ought to carry out. Direct evangelism is among these essential ones. We can minister directly to people when we met them or go to them directly. The Bible tells us to tell other people about God and his love for us.
World missions are essential too. Apart from directly telling your colleagues and friends about his word, God needs us to spread it beyond out home boundaries. He says in the Bible that we should go beyond our local community and go to all corners of the world to spread his word.
The poor and the needy also ought to be reached out to and told about the Word. When Jesus was telling his disciples about the kingdom of God, He told them about helping the least of their brothers. He told that some people will not be able to enter heaven because they did not clothe the needy, give them food or even shelter. This means that even the least in the society ought to know about God through you.
Children also ought to know about the word of God. In the Bible, Jesus told his disciples to allow the children come to him because they belong to the kingdom of God. Nowadays, most children are left by their parents without being attended to and so the enemy grabs them in their early stages and destroys their life. So we need to minister to children since they are delicate.
We have just mentioned essential ministries. Out of the ones mentioned above, others have been born inclusive of prison ministry. The individual behind bars have to realize that God loves them despite their state. Most of them normally lose of hope of getting out or gaining forgiveness. We need to restore this hope in them. The military and disabled also have to hear this wonderful word. They ought to know that the mercies, grace and love of God are abundant.
The youth is also vulnerable members of the community. The enemy normally entangles them in sin and lead them on the wrong path. They need to be brought back to light and taught the word. They also need to realize that God loves them the way they are and can restore their lives no matter the state. Finally, the above are just but some of the many types of outreaches. The most important thing is to share and spread the word of God to everyone on earth.
