Why bother with outreach and evangelism?
Bezara, a Sakalavan man from Madagascar shares about the impact that outreach and evangelism has had in his life…
Itโs no surprise that with our desire to reach the unreached with the gospel, much of our work involves outreach & evangelism. Methods vary from people group to ministry area, but sharing the good news of Jesus is at the heart of all we do. The way we reach out to women on an Indian Ocean island might be different to the way we seek to evangelise young Samburu men in rural Kenya but our vision remains the same; to see people turning to Jesus for their salvation.
All in Africa need to know the freedom there is in Jesus, including those caught up in witchcraft, ancestor worship & animism, as well as those who are adhering to other major world religions. We long to let all Africaโs people know that they can have life, in all its fullness, for comfort rather than living in fear of breaking taboos and working to earn favour in the eyes of their gods. We long to tell them of the joy there is to be found in Christ, and the redemption that he offers.
To do this, people who are passionate and eager to share Jesus, need to go to those who have never heard. This may mean going to some of the worldโs hardest to reach places, physically and spiritually but can also mean sharing hope where there is none. Could you be part of this work?

Easter. A long weekend, chocolate egg hunts, pastel coloured decorations and a family lamb dinner after church? We visit some of our missionaries around Africa to find out what Easter looked like for them last year. Pray for the unique opportunities Easter affords our missionaries to share the good news of the cross and resurrection with those who have not yet heard it.
