Church Outreach Types That You Need To Conduct

By Francis Riggs


We have been given the mandate of spreading the gospel by God as Christians. It is our due responsibility to ensure that we let everyone know about his word of God. In our churches, we organize outreach from time to time. In this article, we will explore church outreach types that we can engage in order to spread the gospel.

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.

The essential ministries are those that each church has to perform. There are also these that the bible states and spells out clearly that should be done. Direct evangelism is one way of ministering. The scripture says that each member of the congregation has the responsibility of telling others about Jesus.

World missions are also essential. It is not just enough to tell your neighbors and friends about Jesus, you should reach out to others far away. The Bible says that each church should reach out to people about of the local community.

The needy and the poor in our society also need to know that God loves them. As Jesus was telling his followers about heaven, he told that whoever does not clothe, or shelter or feed a needy person cannot enter his kingdom. He told them that the least of their brothers are the needy, and they also ought to show love because they are his children too.

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 young people and youth are also vulnerable. They are easy to fall into traps the enemy has set for them. We have to be at the forefront in preventing them from happening through preaching to them. In conclusion, each and every one of us should receive Jesus in our lives in order to tell other about him. It is our mandate, and so we have no excuse.
