I think you need to recognise what your gifts are. We all have different strengths and sometimes it takes a while before you actually realise what they are
.
However, as Welshman very rightly says we are commanded to save the lost. This is of fundamental importance. Therefore, we need to offer ourselves to The Lord to use us in the way he has planned.
I try and do my bit, but I should be doing more. The gospel message is the key, and that is what I focus on.
I like meeting people so Ive got no problem going up to members of the public in the middle of London and engaging in the gospel message.
My mate and I have bought individual gospels in bulk. We go around speaking to homeless people in and around London and give them a pair of ears to talk at and gospel to read. We go to Speakers corner and hand them out on a Sunday. We speak there with radical Muslims about the gospel message (btw..anyone is more than welcome to join us at Speakers corner on a Sunday
the more the merrier..PM if youre up for it!)
We do outreach stuff at church discussion groups with non Christians about general topics Does God Exist?, Why does God allow suffering? etc etc
I think we can use forums also. We can obviously coordinate public events such as rallys, conferences, conventions and such like. Since I quite like meeting people in real life Id always be up for meeting people face-to-face in the London area.
I would definitely like to use social networking to spread messages with regards to social action such as petitions etc.
I think we should also challenge each other like having an accountability partner, and this could be a virtual partner. For example, you could set a challenge as follows:
- Think about your typical week, at work, home, college or whatever
- Then think about the 5 people you have the most frequent contact with during your typical week.
- Do these 5 people all know that you are a Christian? Do they know what you believe? Do you know what they believe?
Or another challenge - do you have kids at school? Does the headmaster/mistress know you are a Christian family? Do you have any other Christian families with kids at the school? What about getting together and forming a Christian parents group?
We should motivate and encourage each other because it is spiritual warfare, and apathy amongst Christians regarding spreading the gospel means we are fighting a losing battle.
