Do you have a Christian outreach ministry? Or do you have a vision of a ministry and you don’t know how to start reaching out?
These tips that can help you start your Christian outreach ministry will be of great value to you.
What is a Christian outreach ministry?
A Christian outreach ministry is a ministry reaching out with the gospel of Jesus Christ. It is a Christian ministry that is on a mission for Christ. A mission with a message from Gidd to the world.
A Christian outreach ministry will have platforms for reaching out with the message or the programs of the ministry.
What you need to know to start your Christian outreach ministry
The following are what you need to know to start your Christian outreach ministry:
You must have a call and a message
Definitely, you must have a call from God and a message to start a Christian outreach ministry. Though some people believe you can start out without these. They believe God can reach out to you with a call and a message while you are already on the go.
I am not going to kick against this school of thought. But I believe the job is easier to start out if there is a call and a message from God.
Define and document details of your call and message
Ensure your message, call and mission are clearly identified, defined and documented. This is what you do during the preparation stage before you start the Christian outreach ministry.
You must know the details of what the Lord wants you to do. You must understand who the Lord wants you to reach and so on. Let some or all of these be on paper.
Understand the timing for the Christian outreach ministry
The next thing is to understand the timing for the Christian outreach ministry. Are you starting immediately or not. If you’re not starting immediately, when are you starting? This is important.
What platforms are you using to start out with the Christian outreach mission?
If you are to start immediately, what platforms are you using. Or how do you reach out to those you have been sent to.
The platforms are the programs you will be using to reach out to the people. Let the Lord help you to receive this information.
Some of the platforms of reaching out with the message can be:
- Books
- Songs
- Drama
- Seminars
- Workshops
- Prayer programs etc.
What are your gifts?
What are your gifts? What are your skills? What are your experiences. These can be useful to you as you map out the platforms that you are going to use to reach out.
From experience, I have discovered that there’s a link between the choice of platforms and the gifts of God in your life. And even some talents and skills you have.
The Lord probably have allowed you to learn those skills over the years because of what He wants to use you to do. So your skills and talents are relevant too to determine the platform you will be using.
Start using the platforms to reach out with the Christian outreach ministry
Just as I have mentioned above, platforms of reaching out with the ministry are very important. Of what use is having a message and knowing the mission without a platform to stand upon to reach out to the people you are sent to. In ministry, until you reach out you have not really done the will of God
The platforms you have identified, you need to start with one of them. You can start as little as possible. Remember Jesus started with Peter’s boat.
Name the platforms
You need to give the platforms names. You need to get it organized. God loves organization. You need to start using the platform to reach out and you must be consistent with it.
Consistency is key. Without this, no promotion from God. John 15:16, the Bible ask us to produce fruit and let our fruits remain. Be consistent producing fruit with your platforms
When you’re faithful God will naturally take you to the next level where you can add other platforms etc.
I believe this has blessed you. Please share with your friends on social media.
