Hello Pastor Carlos,

Your reflection on Pastor Henry’s message was both powerful and comprehensive. You highlighted Matthew 28:19-20: “Go therefore and make disciples of all nations…,” along with Romans 10:14, Acts 1:8, and Mark 16:15, showing that evangelism is not optional but a divine mandate. Your examples of Philip with the Ethiopian eunuch in Acts 8:26-40 and Peter’s boldness in Acts 2 beautifully illustrate how Spirit-led obedience brings transformation to individuals and communities.

Another verse that reinforces this truth is 2 Timothy 4:2: “Preach the word; be prepared in season and out of season; correct, rebuke and encourage—with great patience and careful instruction.” This verse reminds us that evangelism requires readiness at all times, not only when it is convenient. It emphasizes persistence, patience, and faithfulness in proclaiming the Gospel.

Practically, being ambassadors of Christ means embodying His love in both word and deed. Sharing personal testimonies, serving those in need, and engaging in intentional conversations are ways we reflect Christ’s truth. When evangelism becomes a lifestyle rather than an event, the church grows stronger and more effective in its mission. Platforms like Church Junction help believers encourage one another and extend the message of salvation beyond physical boundaries.

You asked, “What are some ways you’ve seen the Gospel transform lives in your ministry or community? And how can we, as a church body, continue to cultivate a culture of readiness to say, ‘Here am I. Send me’?” In my experience, I’ve seen the Gospel bring reconciliation in broken families and inspire believers to serve selflessly in their communities. Cultivating readiness begins with discipleship—teaching believers to see every moment as an opportunity for mission and encouraging them to respond to God’s call with obedience and humility.

To the fellowship: How can we better equip one another to share the Gospel boldly in everyday settings, such as workplaces, schools, and online spaces?

God Bless You, Pastor Sam

Greetings Pastor Carlos,

You have beautifully reflected on Matthew 28:19-20 — “Go therefore and make disciples of all nations…,” along with Romans 10:14, Acts 1:8, and Mark 16:15. These passages remind us that evangelism is not optional but a divine mandate, and your mention of Philip with the Ethiopian eunuch and Peter’s boldness in Acts 2 shows how Spirit-led obedience can bring transformation to both individuals and communities. You also highlighted Isaiah 6:8 — “Then I heard the voice of the Lord saying, ‘Whom shall I send? And who will go for us?’ And I said, ‘Here am I. Send me!’” This verse captures the heart of surrender and readiness that every believer is called to embody.

Another verse that strengthens this truth is 2 Timothy 4:2 — “Preach the word; be ready in season and out of season; reprove, rebuke, and exhort, with complete patience and teaching.” This passage reminds us that readiness to share the Gospel is not situational but constant. It calls us to be prepared at all times, with patience and love, to proclaim Christ’s truth.

Biblically, evangelism flows from obedience and surrender, and practically, it is lived out through testimony, service, and Spirit-led conversations. Creating a culture of readiness means equipping believers with confidence in Scripture, encouraging them to share personal stories of God’s faithfulness, and fostering opportunities for outreach both locally and globally. When evangelism becomes a rhythm of life, the church reflects the mission of Christ.

You asked: “What are some ways you’ve seen the Gospel transform lives in your ministry or community? And how can we, as a church body, continue to cultivate a culture of readiness to say, ‘Here am I. Send me’?” In ministry, I have seen transformation when believers boldly share their testimonies—hearts are softened, and lives are changed through the power of personal witness. Cultivating readiness begins with prayerful dependence on the Spirit, regular discipleship, and creating spaces where believers are encouraged to step out in faith.

I pose this question to the fellowship: How has God used your personal testimony to open doors for sharing the Gospel with others?

God Bless You, Pastor Bailey
