As Christians, we are called to be more than churchgoers. We’re called to be active participants in spreading the Gospel and bringing others into a life-changing relationship with Jesus Christ. At RIG DFW, one way we live out this calling is through street evangelism. Here’s why we do it and why you’ll want to be part of this powerful mission.
Soul Winning is Part of the Great Commission
Jesus’ final command to His followers was clear:
“Go therefore and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, teaching them to observe all that I have commanded you.” (Matthew 28:18-20)
Street evangelism allows us to step outside the church walls and fulfill this Great Commission. It’s about being obedient to Jesus’ call to reach people where they are. For many, the streets are where life’s struggles and victories unfold daily—and where the message of hope in Christ is desperately needed.
It’s Wise to Win Souls
The Bible reminds us that soul winning is not just important; it’s wise:
“The fruit of the righteous is a tree of life, and he who wins souls is wise.” (Proverbs 11:30)
By engaging in street evangelism, we are sowing seeds of life into the hearts of those who may never step foot into a church. Whether through a kind word, a heartfelt prayer, or the sharing of the Gospel, each interaction is an opportunity to impact someone’s eternity. And in doing so, we reflect God’s wisdom and His heart for the lost.
The Holy Spirit Empowers Us to Be Witnesses
One of the most incredible aspects of street evangelism is that we are not alone. Jesus promised that we would receive power to be His witnesses:
“But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit has come upon you, and you will be my witnesses in Jerusalem and in all Judea and Samaria, and to the end of the earth.” (Acts 1:8)
Through the Holy Spirit, we are equipped with boldness, wisdom, and compassion to share God’s love effectively. It’s not about our eloquence or expertise but about trusting the Holy Spirit to work through us as vessels of His grace.
Why You’ll Want to Be There
Participating in street evangelism is not just about what we can give; it’s also about what God does in us. Here are a few reasons you’ll want to join us:
Grow in Your Faith: Sharing your faith pushes you out of your comfort zone and deepens your trust in God. You’ll see firsthand how He works through your obedience.
Experience God’s Power: As you step out in faith, you’ll witness God’s power to heal, restore, and transform lives right before your eyes.
Be Part of a Community on Mission: There’s something special about coming together as a church family to impact our community for Christ. You’ll build deeper connections with others who share your passion for the Gospel.
Make an Eternal Impact: Each soul you reach has eternal value. Being part of someone’s journey to Christ is a privilege that will leave a lasting imprint on your heart.
