I. Why Should We Witness/Evangelize?

B. Other’s Needs (now + eternally)

There is a God-shaped void

inside every person

that can only be filled with Christ.

Evangelization

At least 50% of people will

respond positively

if you attempt to share with them.

II. Do You have a Sense of Urgency?

Satan wants to hurt your walk–

he wants to make you ineffective

by getting hold of your life

through some are of sin.

Evangelization

II. Do You have a Sense of Urgency?

But if he can’t hurt your walk,

he will aim at your urgency.

Evangelization

II. Do You have a Sense of Urgency?

If you are not bumping into Satan,

it may be because

you are going the same way.

Evangelization

II. Do You have a Sense of Urgency?

The greatest threat

the power of multiplication

If I were to win one person to Jesus

every day for the next 16 years,

5840 people would be saved!

or even

Evangelization

If I were to win one person and then disciple him for the next six months so that he could win and train another, at the end of six months, there would be only two.

Evangelization

Then,

If the two of us went out and won two more and discipled them during the next six months, there would be four of us (the number doubles).

Evangelization

At the end of:

1st year = 4 people

1 ½ years = 8 people

2 years = 16 people

2 ½ years = 32 people

3 years = 64 people

Evangelization

At the end of:

4 years = 256 people

5 years = 1,024 people

6 years = 4,096 people

6 ½ years = 8,192 people

This would be many more than one a day for 16 years!

Evangelization

At the end of 16 years, 4,294,967,296

(over four billion) would be saved.

This is more than

the entire population of the world!

Evangelization

And remember that you are

leading only two people to Christ a year with the multiplication principle.

Evangelization

Jesus commissioned us to make disciples!

That means that we are

to become disciple makers!

A world vision begins with one person.
