MARK 1: 16-18

As Jesus walked beside the Sea of Galilee, he saw Simon and his brother Andrew casting a net into the lake, for they were fishermen.

“Come, follow me,” Jesus said, “and I will make you fishers of men.” At once they left their nets and followed him. Mark 1: 16-18 (NIV)

Then Jesus came to them and said, “All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me.

Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, and teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you.

And surely I am with you always, to the very end of the age.” Matthew 28: 18-10 (NIV)

Outreach (or evangelism) =

demonstrating God’s love to the world.

As Jesus walked beside the Sea of Galilee, he saw Simon and his brother Andrew casting a net into the lake, for they were fishermen.

“Come, follow me,” Jesus said, “and I will make you fishers of men.” At once they left their nets and followed him. Mark 1: 16-18 (NIV)

Two Very Important Questions

1.Do I actually believe that knowing Jesus can radically change a person’s life?

2.Do I actually believe that MY relatives, friends, neighbors, etc. would be better off if they had a relationship with Jesus?

Then Jesus came to them and said, “All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me.

Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, and teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you.

And surely I am with you always, to the very end of the age.” Matthew 28: 18-10 (NIV)

I.

See the people who need God.

U1 = 10% (most receptive)

U2 = 27%

U3 = 36%

U4 = 21%

U5 = 5% (totally hostile)

95% of the people that you

meet will be open to hearing about Jesus FROM YOU!

II.

Seek the people who are without God.

You are in the ministry of fishing for people who do not yet know Jesus, whether you are a preacher or not!

III.

Share with people so they can know God.

“Your Story” should include:

1.What my life was like BEFORE I met Jesus;

2.How I realized I needed Jesus.

3.How I surrendered my life to Jesus.

4.The DIFFERENCE Jesus has made in my life.

And don’t be afraid of the dark.At the end of the storm is a golden sky

And the sweet, silver song of a lark.
