Evangelism
The Saviour “gave authority to His servants, and to every man his work.” He appointed a meeting with His eleven disciples after His resurrection for the purpose of giving them counsel and encouragement, and at that time He gave the gospel commission to the disciples and to the assembled church, numbering more than five hundred brethren. That was the first outreach (missionary) meeting of the Christian church; it was certainly not to be the last.
As a permanent and definite part of the services of the Christian church, the outreach (missionary) meeting bears the divine endorsement for all time. Through the Spirit of Prophecy we are told: “God has committed to our hands a most sacred work, and we need to meet together to receive instruction, that we may be fitted to perform this work.” Testimonies, vol. 6, p. 32.

God’s Formula for Financial Independence – Consider for a moment, a life filled with opportunities for improvement and advancement; businesses that flourish; investments that grow; success in everything you set out to do; and the ability to lend money instead of borrow it. Would such a life be considered a financially independent one? Would you want such a life? Are you presently experiencing such a life? Did you know that this is a part of the life God longs to give His children? You can read all about it in Deuteronomy 28. For those who would like to have such a life, the big question is: “What must I do to get it?”
Sharing Jesus Begins With Prayer“ – Then He said to His disciples, “The harvest is abundant, but the workers are few. Therefore, pray to the Lord of the harvest to send out workers into His harvest.” Matthew 9:37-38.
Prayer is the first ingredient of an authentic life with God. Not only is prayer important for our own relationship with God, it is the first step, the foundation of our sharing with others. Through prayer, God causes the seeds that people plant in others’ lives to grow (1 Cor. 3:6-7).
Encouragement – Has it ever seemed like there was something within you that you just couldn’t control —a passion, an urge, that seemed to work against everything you know to be right? You purpose with everything within to do right and yet it still seems as though the desire gets the best of you. You feel like there is no hope for you to overcome, so what’s the purpose of trying to become victorious?
