Peter Kulakov
Do you love your neighbors? Do you love your neighbors like Jesus loves your neighbors? These were some questions addressed at a recent evangelism rally hosted at the Dunlap, Tenn., Church.
As part of a Conference initiative, Peter Kulakov, assistant to the president for evangelism at Georgia-Cumberland Conference, has helped organize regional rallies to ignite members for missions. Members from more than 16 churches in the Cumberland plateau region were invited to be part of this special evangelism training event.
David Hartman, D.Min., from Southern Adventist University School of Religion, presented easy, practical ways to reach neighbors for Jesus. His passionate presentations engaged listeners with new evangelistic ideas, and left them excited about sharing the Gospel. Hartman left attendees with his book, Winning Ways to Witness, which outlines seven witnessing styles to attract people to Christ, as they reach their communities in the upcoming weeks and months.
Along with the seminars, resources were also provided by the LEAD’s Bible Workers Department, and E.W. Dempsey’s Bible Research program. Guests received evangelistic tools as they visited their respective booths.
To conclude the rally, gospel singer Steve Darmody provided a blessing through song and testimony. He gave a challenge to not only reach the local communities, but to be a witness for God’s children throughout the world. Free CDs were given to each one who chose to sponsor a needy child through World Vision.
It has been said that “Jesus never went out of His way to help people because helping people was never out of His way.” As the Gospel call of Christ is fulfilled, may reaching out to the lost, the broken, the helpless, and the hurting never be out of anyone’s way.
