CREM 28th Conference John Nganga - Day 1- All of us must reach people for Christ

Send us Fan MailCaught in the struggle to maintain authenticity while evangelizing? You're not alone. I found myself in the thick of it when a conference organizer insisted on slapping a title on me just to pull in a crowd. Our latest episode peels back the facade to look at the real substance of Christian ministry, where we wrestle with the challenge of being truthful versus the temptation to embellish for effect. The church, often seen as a close-knit members' club, is critically dissected as we consider its true mission: an outreach extending far beyond its walls. We grapple with the practicalities, such as church budgets, and whether they reflect a dedication to evangelism and the calling to spread the gospel to the unreached, using Kenya as a poignant example.As we trace the roots of Christian responsibility, we acknowledge the hurdles facing the gospel's message in modern times, from cultural barriers like those we encountered back in the 1960s to today's myriad of misconceptions leading to Christianity's rejection. The conversation doesn't shy away from hard truths—like the potential dilution of the gospel for broader appeal—and instead calls for a recommitment to teaching the full scope of Jesus' role as both Savior and Sovereign Ruler. This is a chapter that not only questions the extent of church outreach but implores a return to the essence of the Great Commission.As we wrap up, the urgency of the global mission comes into sharp focus, with the reality that billions remain untouched by the gospel. Every believer is called to the front lines, equipped and urged by the Holy Spirit to take part in this divine reconciliation. From recognizing personal evangelism as a daily commitment to strategizing gospel sharing with family during the holidays, the episode culminates in a powerful reminder that God's reconciling work is our collective mandate. Join us for an inspiring call to action, where I offer a prayer for renewed dedication, and we affirm that in God's mission field, every Christian is indeed a missionary.www.cremministry.org
