15 And he said unto them, Go ye into all the world, and preach the gospel to every creature.
16 He that believeth and is baptized shall be saved; but he that believeth not shall be damned.
17 And these signs shall follow them that believe; In my name shall they cast out devils; they shall speak with new tongues;
18 They shall take up serpents; and if they drink any deadly thing, it shall not hurt them; they shall lay hands on the sick, and they shall recover.
19 So then after the Lord had spoken unto them, he was received up into heaven, and sat on the right hand of God.
20 And they went forth, and preached every where, the Lord working with them, and confirming the word with signs following. Amen.
MEMORY VERSE: “And he said unto them, Go ye into all the world, and preach the gospel to every creature” (MARK 16:15).
MESSAGE:
Evangelism is the presentation of the message of salvation by believers to sinners using diverse means possible with the aim of leading them to the saving knowledge of Jesus Christ. Without evangelism, Christ’s sacrifice and provision will not be known to sinners and they will be lost forever.
The methods of declaring the message is determined by time, place and people. The disciples fulfilled the Master’s command on foot, which was the means available at that time.
Today, the world has developed into a global village, through the vast innovation in Information Communication Technology (ICT), providing various communication channels that can help speed up our reaching out to colleagues, friends and others.

1. Admit that you are a sinner. "For all [humans] have sinned, and comes short of the glory of God....[and] the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord" (Romans 3:23)
2. Repent now. "Repent ye therefore, and be converted, that your sins may be blotted out ...[for] if we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness " (Acts 3:19, 1 John 1:9)
3. Believe that God loves you and Jesus died for you. "God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet Sinners, Christ died for us" (Romans 5:8)
4. Invite Jesus into your life through prayer of faith. Jesus says, "Behold, I stand at the door, and knock: if any man hear my voice, and open the door, I will come in to him, and will sup with him, and he with me" (Revelation 3:20)
