SERVING WITH YOUR GIFT EVANGELISM MENTORSHIP MISSIONS AND MINISTRY

• “7 Now to each one the manifestation of the Spirit is given for the common good. 8 To one there is given through the Spirit a message of wisdom, to another a message of knowledge by means of the same Spirit, 9 to another faith by the same Spirit, to another gifts of healing by that one Spirit, 10 to another miraculous powers, to another prophecy, to another distinguishing between spirits, to another speaking in different kinds of tongues,[a] and to still another the interpretation of tongues.[b] 11 All these are the work of one and the same Spirit, and he distributes them to each one, just as he determines.” – 1 Corinthians 12: 7-11 • “It was he who "gave gifts to people"; he appointed some to be apostles, others to be prophets, others to be evangelists, others to be pastors and teachers.” -Eph 4:11

Evangelism can be defined as the verbal and visible declaration of the death and resurrection of Christ with the intent of leading people to salvation. In Acts 1:8 Jesus called his early band of disciples to be "my witnesses both in Jerusalem, and in all of Judea and Samaria, and even to the remotest part of the earth.“ • Course objectives: •To develop a Biblical theology ofevangelismthat clarifies what thegospelis and why it is important for all Christians to share thegospel. •To equip course participants with a clear method for sharing thegospel

A ministry is a way to serve your church and community. The most well-known type of ministry is serving as a pastor, but there are many other ministry opportunities for people. You can use your skills and passions to find a type of ministry that fits your personality to get involved in your church community and strengthen your faith. • Children • Youth • Young Adults • Seniors • Disadvantaged and Disabled • Social Justice • Homeless • Special Ministries • Stephen Ministries

What did Bible say about mentorship? •Mentorship, of course, is also vital to Christian discipleship. Jesus mentored the Twelve—“his own who were in the world” (John 13:1)—to know him (and, through him, to know the Father) and to re-present God's love in the world. Even as he reminded them “servants are not greater than their master,” he washed their feet. • The Idea of Mentoring • The Look of Mentoring • The Principles of Mentoring • The Skills of Mentoring • The Relationships of Mentoring

01�Situation – foundational scriptures

1 Corinthians 12:7-11

'A spiritual gift is given to each of us so we can help each other. To one person the Spirit gives the ability to give wise advice ; to another the same Spirit gives a message of special knowledge. The same Spirit gives great faith to another, and to someone else the one Spirit gives the gift of healing. He gives one person the power to perform miracles, and another the ability to prophesy. He gives someone else the ability to discern whether a message is from the Spirit of God or from another spirit. Still another person is given the ability to speak in unknown languages, while another is given the ability to interpret what is being said. It is the one and only Spirit who distributes all these gifts. He alone decides which gift each person should have. '

Ephesians 4:11

'Now these are the gifts Christ gave to the church: the apostles, the prophets, the evangelists, and the pastors and teachers. '

Acts 1:8

'But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit comes upon you. And you will be my witnesses, telling people about me everywhere—in Jerusalem, throughout Judea, in Samaria, and to the ends of the earth.” '

John 13:1

'Before the Passover celebration, Jesus knew that his hour had come to leave this world and return to his Father. He had loved his disciples during his ministry on earth, and now he loved them to the very end. '
