Intentional & Active Evangelism GEMS PROFIT Intentional & Active Evangelism PROFIT influences working professionals, motivating them towards Tentmaking, which is facilitating them to be personally and strategically involved in Workplace evangelism, Country or culture specific infiltration Mission networking. by equipping them in their professional, social and spiritual portions of work life. We have a tendency to live a very passive testimonial life. The variable of such a life is Punctuality, correctness, faithfully working, good conduct etc which somehow we assume that the unbeliever will understand it is the work of Christ and not yours. However, these outwardly appearing actions are shown by at least a few ‘good’ unbelievers. In Such cases you fail to make a difference and show that you are a Christian. The Bible clearly mentions the action of “voicing out” the Gospel, which may be missed out if only passive witnessing is involved. Yes, when it is a closed country this is treated as a special case. PROFIT is a network of Christians who intentionally and actively use their professional identity to share the Gospel in the workplace.. 14/11/2018
