Dear Frontier Supporter,
What can you do to leave the greatest lasting positive impact on this world for the cause of Jesus Christ? You don’t have to be a dynamic public speaker or preach and teach before thousands to make a difference. Yes, Jesus preached before thousands but that is not what started the church and turned the world upside down. The church was not started by the thousands who followed Jesus for awhile but then turned against Him when His preaching wasn’t what they wanted to hear anymore. Preaching to great multitudes has it’s value but it’s not the thing of greatest impact.
Jesus started the church with a dozen faithful disciples whom he personally trained for 3 years. It was not a large group who he spent little time with but a small group whom he invested many hours in that made the lasting impact. The success of a ministry is more determined by how many souls you replicate the one true faith in rather than how many hundreds of spectators you can draw in for a weekly entertainment program.
All this summer, I am meeting for several hours a week with several young men from Christ’s Church, training them to do ministry. We will divide our time over the summer covering three topics. #1 How to study the Bible correctly. #2 How to write a lesson and #3 How to effectively communicate Biblical truth.
These young men will be equipped with basic skills to study God’s word and share it. By the end of the summer, they will have the opportunity to do communion meditations, lead Grow Groups or even preach a sermon. Paul said in 2 Timothy 2:22 “And the things you have heard me say in the presence of many witnesses entrust to reliable people who will also be qualified to teach others.”
You may not have the gift of teaching or be a great public speaker. But you can pass on your faith to a small circle of friends so they can do the same. That is where Jesus had the greatest impact in his ministry. Your financial support is helping me and others plant new churches to pass on the one true Faith to the next generation of leaders. Thank you!
