Evangelism and Church Growth

I just received the Pastor's Newsletter from Community of Praise Baptist Church in Singapore. We have been equipping them with Life Skills and Lay Ministry skil for the past two years as they minister to the hundreds of new people coming to faith.

Pastor Steve Fendley writes about a powerful move of the Lord through the 40 Days of Purpose.

Dear CPBC Family and Friends,

40 DAYS” PRAISE UPDATE

In my 5 April, 2005 Pastor’s Newsletter, I shared that in the first weekend of the 40 Days of Purpose Campaign 10 people had given their lives to the Lord. I’ll be the first to admit that I would have never dreamed we would get “out of the starting blocks” so swiftly in this season of corporate revival and spiritual growth.

Now, exactly one month later, I’m more amazed than ever. At least 42 people have accepted Jesus as their Saviour and Lord since our launch on 3 April. One of them just last week is a young man of another faith (our “neighbours”), a friend of one of our youth.

Three more Purpose Groups were started last week, and there are more than 800 people involved in 115 Purpose Groups at this time.

++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

This has happened within the past one month! How many people have come to faith in Jesus at your church this past month?
