Sunday School Is Our Evangelism Focus

Sunday School: Jean Edwards
Thursday, November 1, 2007

Sunday School is the place for people to connect to a small group for Bible study. Is your class praying for and seeking lost people to be a part of your class to bring them to Christ?

Faith Evangelism Through the Sunday School has been an effective strategy in bringing people to Christ. It begins with an All on the Altar worship service giving the Holy Spirit the opportunity to call out those who would become involved in evangelism training. Churches using FAITH have seen church people grow in the Lord and lost people come to know Christ. One church I learned of this week has seen the Lord bless their church through this ministry. More than one hundred people have learned to share the Gospel in the past three years. The church has tripled in size in that time with new people coming to know the Lord. FAITH has teams go out from each adult class so people are immediately meeting people who will be with them in Sunday School. FAITH is effective in every size church. Pray about your church becoming involved in FAITH. The materials have been in revision to incorporate what has been learned over the years. There is no cost for training beyond your travel expenses and lodging. To learn about training, resources and implementation you can contact a FAITH ministry specialist with a free phone call to 1-877-324-8498. If the FAITH strategy is new to you, go to the website, www.lifeway.com/faith, to learn about the strategy and its effectiveness in churches small and large. This strategy can richly bless your church and the Kingdom.

A Special Thank You

I deeply appreciate the opportunity to serve you through the association. I was on the committee first, then as your Sunday School Director and now as your Sunday School Committee Chair person the past three years. The association voted three years ago to go from Ministry Directors to Committees for the five Director positions. Chair persons are only supposed to serve for two years. I have served one additional year to have someone step forward to take that responsibility.

I am deeply grateful for all of the people I have served with for almost twelve years when I was in the leadership role. We have a wonderful association desiring to work together to serve the Lord in reaching the lost in our mission field. I have been asked to continue to serve on the Sunday School Committee. We have had a Sunday School Committee for almost 40 years and it has been my pleasure to serve on the committee through the years. I look forward to knowing how the Lord will move through our Sunday Schools to continue to bring lost people to a saving knowledge of Christ. Again, my thanks to you for the opportunity to serve.
