THE APPROACH THE PROFESSIONAL AND RELATIONAL APPROACH TO WITNESSING AND DISCIPLESHIP BY DR. NEWTON U. CLEGHORNE DEAN SCHOOL OF RELIGION AND THEOLOGY NORTHERN CARIBBEAN UNIVERSITY

THE APPROACH THE LORD DESIGNS THAT THE PRESENTATION OF THIS MESSAGE SHALL BE THE HIGHEST, GREATEST WORK CARRIED ON IN THE WORLD AT THIS TIME. EV., 18.

APPROACH EVANGELISM IS THE PASSIONATE SHARING OF THE GOSPEL, BOTH PERSONAL AND PUBLIC WITH A VIEW OF LEADING MEN AND WOMEN TO ACCEPT JESUS CHRIST AS THEIR PERSONAL SAVIOUR AND IN TURN TRAINING THEM AS DISCIPLES OF THE SAME GOSPEL AND PREPARING THEMSELVES AND THOSE WHOM THEY DISCIPLE FOR THE COMING OF OUR LORD AND SAVIOUR, JESUS CHRIST.

APPROACH MINISTRY OF HEALING, 143: “CHRIST’S METHOD ALONE WILL GIVE TRUE SUCCESS IN REACHING THE PEOPLE. THE SAVIOUR MINGLED WITH MEN AS ONE WHO DESIRED THEIR GOOD. HE SHOWED SYMPATHY FOR THEM, MINISTERED TO THEIR NEEDS, AND WON THEIR CONFIDENCE. THEN HE BADE THEM ‘FOLLOW ME’.”

APPROACH AN ECHO OF MATTHEW 28:18-20

APPROACH THE FIVE S’S OF SUCCESSFUL EVANGELISM: 1. SOCIALIZED 2. SYMPATHIZED 3. SERVED 4. SECURED (WON THEIR CONFIDENCE) 5. SAVED

APPROACH DON’T UNDERSELL THE ADVENT MESSAGE IN YOUR THINKING. DON’T DEPRECIATE IT BY YOUR IGNORANCE. KNOW WHY YOU ARE WHAT YOU ARE AND LET THE WORLD KNOW IT.

APPROACH ACTS OF THE APOSTLES,9, CH. SERVICE, 15:THE CHURCH IS GOD’S APPOINTED AGENCY FOR THE SALVATION OF MEN [AND WOMEN]. IT WAS ORGANIZED FOR SERVICE, AND ITS MISSION IS TO CARRY THE GOSPEL TO THE WORLD.

APPROACH THE CONVERSION OF SOULS TO GOD IS THE CREATEST WORK, THE HIGHEST WORK, IN WHICH HUMAN BEINGS CAN HAVE A PART. EV. 292

APPROACH IN THE CONVERSION OF SOULS, GOD’S FORBEARANCE, HIS UNBOUNDED LOVE, HIS HOLINESS, HIS POWER, ARE REVEALED.EV., 292.

APPROACH EVERY TRUE CONVERSION GLORIFIES HIM, AND CAUSES THE ANGELS TO BREAK FORTH INTO SINGING. MERCY AND TRUTH HAVE KISSED EACH OTHER..LETTER 121, 1902

APPROACH REACHING THE RICH. 1. INVITE THEM TO AN EVENT THAT WILL MAKE THEM FEEL THAT THEY CAN MAKE MORE MONEY OR INCREASE THEIR POWER BASE IN THE COMMUNITY:

APPROACH SEMINAR ON HOW TO INVEST YOUR MONEY WISELY. DO IT YOURSELF TAX PREPARATION. HOW TO GET THE BEST OUT OF YOUR DREAM CAR. GET THE BEST FACILITATORS TO HANDLE THESE MATTERS. HOW TO START AND MAINTAIN A FAMILY OR PERSONAL BUSINESS (GIVE EVERYONE A COPY OF STEPS TO CHRIST OR A BOOK ON THE END TIMES.

APPROACH REACHING THE POOR, NEEDY AND UNHEALTHY. GO HOUSE TO HOUSE TO DETEMERMINE THE NEEDS OF THE PEOPLE. ENGAGE THE COMMUNITY MINISTRIES AND HEALTH DEPARTMENTS. BEGIN LITERACY AND NUMERACY CLASSES FOR READING WRITING AND MATHEMATICS. DO THIS WAY AHEAD OF THE BEGINNING OF THE EVANGELISTIC SERIES.

APPROACH 3. DRUG DEALERS, SCAMMERS AND BETTERS. HOW TO MAKE MONEY IN A CREATIVE WAY WITHOUT HURTING ANYONE.

APPROACH THE ACCESSION OF MEMBERS WHO HAVE NOT BEEN RENEWED IN HEART AND REFORMED IN LIFE IS A SOURSE OF WEAKNESS IN THE CHURCH. SOME MINISTERS AND CHURCHES ARE SO DESIROUS OF SECURING THE INCREASE OF NUMBERS THAT THEY DO NOT BEAR FAITHFUL TESTIMONY AGAINST UNCHRISTIAN HABITS AND PRACTICES.

APPROACH PROVERBS 11: 30: “THE FRUIT OF THE RIGHTEOUS IS A TREE OF LIFE; AND HE THAT WINNETH SOULS IS WISE.

APPROACH MATTHEW 10: 16 BEHOLD I SEND YOU FORTH AS SHEEP IN THE MIDST OF WOLVES: BE YE THEREFORE WISE AS SERPENTS AND HARMLESS AS DOVES.

APPROACH APOSTLE PAUL DECLARES I WAS ALL THINGS TO ALL MEN SO THAT I MAY WIN SOME.

APPROACH IF WE ARE GOING TO MAKE DISCIPLES OF ALL MEN, WE MUST FOLLOW THE BLUEPRINT (GOD’S BLUEPRINT)

APPROACH HE WHO IS TRULY CONVERTED WILL WORK TO SAVE OTHERS WHO ARE IN DARKNESS..EV, 355. WHEN SOULS RE CONVERTED, SET THEM TO WORK AT ONCE. AND AS THEY LABOUR ACCORDING TO THEIR ABILITY, THEY WILL GROW STRONGER. IT IS BY MEETING OPPOSING INFLUENCES THAT WE BECOME CONFIRMED IN THE FAITH.

APPROACH THOSE WHO ARE MOST ACTIVELY EMPLOYED IN DOING WITH INTERESTED FIDELITY THEIR WORK TO WIN SOULS TO JESUS CHRIST, ARE THE BEST DEVELOPED IN SPIRITUALITY AND DEVOTION. EV, 356.
