3. Need for Strategical shift in Christian Missions
From 1950’s until recent past major part of mission work was concentrated on rural areas.strategies used were like rural development programs,orphanages,care homes,polio homes,crusades,educational programs and so on.
In the time we live in ,here arises the need for gospel to be reached to 70% of the urban population .Hence the strategy needs to be shifted

13. 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. PROFIT CHAPTERS
PROFIT CHAPTERS are gatherings of Christian professionals that offer the space for learning, sharing and growing to spread the Gospel of Jesus in their workplace.
PROFIT CHAPTERS strive to create, nurture and deploy an active and credible network of Christians who would desire to do the following in their workplace:
Identify with Christ through life and work
Proclaim the Gospel with discretion
Appeal for a decision towards the Gospel with sensitivity
Nurture new believers and equip them towards similar deeds
Vocation-specific PROFIT Chapters are suggested to tackle vocation-specific issues, challenges and barriers to workplace evangelism.
PROFIT facilitates other willing Christian professionals to be part of an existing PROFIT Chapter or initiate new PROFIT Chapters.
