Conclusion |
Friends come in two varieti es. The fi rst are your CLOSE friends, those who we established 2 lessons ago who should be like-minded believers. The second group contains your other friends, those who may not be believers who, if they do not hear and believe face an eternal desti ny that God does not want for them. This second group of friends is your personal ministry fi eld. These are your friends who you need to share the Truth of the Gospel with. They may never hear of you do not speak up.
Personal Ministry is living a lifestyle surrendered to God’s MISSION.
It’s FULL TIME MINISTRY... period.
