Evangelization and Christian Development e-bog

The dare need of the hour in this critical era of the church age is soul winning which is the sole aim of evangelism and it conforms unequivocally with God's heartbeat as author espouses. Evangelism is personal witnessing, advocacy or public preaching and zealous spreading of the Gospel for the purpose of winning souls (Mark 16:15-20). Furthermore, evangelism is just a subset of evangelization. Therefore, taking it a step further, the author avers that evangelization is the ripple process of making converts, initiating them into the body of Christ and transforming them into committed disciples of Jesus. It connotes continuous discipleship or disciple-making where saved persons are taught and incorporated into the life of the church or Christian community in order to reproduce more saints (Matthew 28:19-20). He also explains that a nexus exists between Evangelization and Christian Development in which the latter has its root in the former and integrally stems from it. The ultimate essence and gamut of evangelization is the continuous healthy growth of its human organ which is the church. The intent is to prevent spiritual decay and preserve the moral rectitude of the militant church up until her transition into the glorious triumphant church. The book will make a good read for church workers, leaders, missionaries, seminarians and young converts.
