Study Notes
Church Model
- Christ Embassy utilizes an "expeditionary force" model where members are encouraged to share the gospel with those they regularly encounter
- This contrasts with the "come all ye" model which sees individuals engaging in church activities as vicarious ministry
- In the "expeditionary force" model, the professional field is viewed as a mission field for members to share their faith
- This approach emphasizes the mission of lay members and legitimizes their personal vocation as their ministry
Urban Evangelism Challenges
- Evangelizing in urban settings presents many challenges for Christians
- These challenges include:
- Psychological overload
- Social isolation
- Social invisibility
- Many Christians experience spiritual burnout in urban environments
Urban Evangelism Strategies
- It is imperative for Christians to understand the problems and structures of cities to effectively involve themselves in urban evangelism
- It is crucial to approach urban evangelism with a message of reconciliation
- The goal of urban evangelism is not to bring together believers but to reach the lost
- Initial steps include:
- Reaching out to a few believers from the same church to share the vision
- Begin outreach efforts alone with the guidance of the Holy Spirit
- Continuous outreach and teaching will lead to revival among believers and new converts
- To engage effectively, Christians need to understand the challenges faced by people in the city and offer scriptural solutions without being judgmental or confrontational
- Potential problems include:
- Social commitments
- Social insecurity
- Suspicions and fear
- Marital problems
- Financial difficulties
- Involvement in sin and vices
