God: "I looked for someone to take a stand for me, and stand in the gap" (Ezekiel 22:30)
The glory of God is the goal of redemption and the salvation of the sinner is the means to that… Only the people who understand that are the ones that understand what worship is really about.
It was a great breakthrough to realize that God was not necessarily leading me to pray for everything with equal intensity. To try to do so will kill a prayer life. To learn to let God set the agenda of our prayer life will resurrect it.

Evangelism<SPAN style="mso-spacerun:
yes"> Some practical tips for Gospel Out reach work
A burden to reach out and share the gospel is surely from the Lord. He will bless the desire and the effort however feeble it might be. For its His burden.
Though the message and the goal of evangelism is the same as ever, we need to find innovative ways to present the truth, so that
the present generation will be attracted to the gospel to consider and accept the Lord. Here are some methods that we can try in this busy world.
1.Tract distribution: - Easiest method!Give out a suitable tract or booklet to all who come in contact with us. Good to make our own title.
2. Friendship. A natural, simple method. Get in touch with them in the natural way. Talk personally; invite them to the assembly or special meetings. Arrange some body else also to talk to them.
<div class=MsoNormal style="MARGIN: 0in 0in
0pt">
3. Extending a help: - Be ready to help the needy. Look for such opportunity to give a helping hand and that can be an occasion to share the Gospel. Many students and fresh job seekers are searching for some one who can assist them.
4. Hospital visiting. Patients, especially who are far away from their dear ones find much relief in such visits. Some brethren allow patients to use their mobile phone to talk to their families.One has to see their joy then.
<div class=MsoNormal
style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt">5. Social work.Start a training centre for the new Malaya lee immigrants to study language or some other skills to improve in their carrier. Surely many will approach and listen to the gospel gladly.
6. Media. Use media to present the gospel to a large audience. With an appropriate advertisement get the attention of the targeted group.
<FONT face="Times
New Roman">7. Mass out reach work.Arranging some special events, like music festival etc.
Of course there are many more methods. Our responsibility is to seize every opportunity and use any avenue to propagate the truth. But in all these methods the most important factor is our relationship with others.
<div class=MsoNormal style="MARGIN: 0in
0in 0pt">More than what we say and even we do, our attitude to others matters much. Effective communication of the Gospel will take place only from a clear personal relationship. So consider few tips to make a healthy relationship.
a. Be interested in People. Be friendly -take the initiative-saying hello etc
b. Be yourself-no pretension- People avoid the proud with head
weight!
c. Accept and approve others. - Listen with interest, be sensitive to their needs, and serve them. Thus establish a rapport.
d. Be a friend. Dont be in a hurry to reform others! Accept them as they are.Be attentive to their thoughts and feelings.
e. Understand and empathize with people.
<FONT
size=3>f. Use words to encourage and edify, never to hurt their feelings to put them down.
g. Be transparent. Openness makes the other also to open their heart. Any body can find out the crookedness and the ulterior motive!
h. Sharing time, resources and ideas strengthens the bond.
i. remember their names.
<FONT
face="Times New Roman">j. acknowledge-pay complement.
More than anything else its His grace, the fullness of the Spirit of God that works in and through us that accomplishes a work for the Lord. After all its His work. Not by might nor by power but by my Spirit says the Lord. Praise be to His wonderful name.

Evangelism<SPAN style="mso-spacerun:
yes"> Some practical tips for Gospel Out reach work
A burden to reach out and share the gospel is surely from the Lord. He will bless the desire and the effort however feeble it might be. For its His burden.
Though the message and the goal of evangelism is the same as ever, we need to find innovative ways to present the truth, so that
the present generation will be attracted to the gospel to consider and accept the Lord. Here are some methods that we can try in this busy world.
1.Tract distribution: - Easiest method!Give out a suitable tract or booklet to all who come in contact with us. Good to make our own title.
2. Friendship. A natural, simple method. Get in touch with them in the natural way. Talk personally; invite them to the assembly or special meetings. Arrange some body else also to talk to them.
<div class=MsoNormal style="MARGIN: 0in 0in
0pt">
3. Extending a help: - Be ready to help the needy. Look for such opportunity to give a helping hand and that can be an occasion to share the Gospel. Many students and fresh job seekers are searching for some one who can assist them.
4. Hospital visiting. Patients, especially who are far away from their dear ones find much relief in such visits. Some brethren allow patients to use their mobile phone to talk to their families.One has to see their joy then.
<div class=MsoNormal
style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt">5. Social work.Start a training centre for the new Malaya lee immigrants to study language or some other skills to improve in their carrier. Surely many will approach and listen to the gospel gladly.
6. Media. Use media to present the gospel to a large audience. With an appropriate advertisement get the attention of the targeted group.
<FONT face="Times
New Roman">7. Mass out reach work.Arranging some special events, like music festival etc.
Of course there are many more methods. Our responsibility is to seize every opportunity and use any avenue to propagate the truth. But in all these methods the most important factor is our relationship with others.
<div class=MsoNormal style="MARGIN: 0in
0in 0pt">More than what we say and even we do, our attitude to others matters much. Effective communication of the Gospel will take place only from a clear personal relationship. So consider few tips to make a healthy relationship.
a. Be interested in People. Be friendly -take the initiative-saying hello etc
b. Be yourself-no pretension- People avoid the proud with head
weight!
c. Accept and approve others. - Listen with interest, be sensitive to their needs, and serve them. Thus establish a rapport.
d. Be a friend. Dont be in a hurry to reform others! Accept them as they are.Be attentive to their thoughts and feelings.
e. Understand and empathize with people.
<FONT
size=3>f. Use words to encourage and edify, never to hurt their feelings to put them down.
g. Be transparent. Openness makes the other also to open their heart. Any body can find out the crookedness and the ulterior motive!
h. Sharing time, resources and ideas strengthens the bond.
i. remember their names.

More than anything else its His grace, the fullness of the Spirit of God that works in and through us that accomplishes a work for the Lord. After all its His work. Not by might nor by power but by my Spirit says the Lord. Praise be to His wonderful name.
