The Great Commission

"Then the eleven disciples went to Galilee, to the mountain where Jesus had told them to go. When they saw him, they worshiped him; but some doubted. Then Jesus came to them and said, "All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me. Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, and teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you. And surely I am with you always, to the very end of the age."" - Matthew 28:16-20

Jesus commands us to GO! Some of you just got back from Montana 2010 Ready Yourselves, you know all about "going". But did you know that one of the definitions of "go" is to simply "carry out"? You don't need to go all the way to Troy, Plains or Superior Montana to "go". You can spread the gospel, the good news right here in Federal Way! Carry it to your schools, your jobs, your friends, your family etc.!

Nervous about sharing the gospel? Don't be! Try using ROCI (Adults) and ISAM (Kids) to start up a conversation.

Once you get talking, ask them if they go to church. If yes, ask where and what they believe. If no, ask "why not?". Remember people like being talked WITH not talked AT. Big difference. And be respectful. If you have any questions or comments to add, please feel free!
