          Urban Outreach - large city evangelism

        an interesting article of inner city work in San Francisco
        during Sister White's time - too bad it was not continued
        Review and Herald July 5, 1906
        [ also found in Welfare Ministry p.112 ]

          "Christ's method alone will give true success in reaching the people.
        The Savior mingled with men as one who desired their good.
        He showed His sympathy for them, ministered to their needs, and
        won their confidence.
        Then He bade them, 'Follow Me'". MH 143:3

        By now you have accumulated much knowledge in accessing the Internet.
        Use this knowledge now.

        How about planning a ministry / community project you actually would
        like to do?!?

          Suggested Steps:

        • Check with the Lord in prayer what He would like you to do
        • State in a sentence or two what you would like to accomplish
        • If you can - give it a name

        • Think of the steps you need to take
        • Be aware of money you need to have
        • A good idea would be who is living in your city you would
          like to reach for Jesus

        • Support your findings with some statistics and government
          documents
        • If there are immigrants, would you consider learning their
          language - in the process you could tell them about Christ
          this ministry will be a lot of fun!!!

        • I like to have my projects checked with about two or three
          friends and get their opinion = you probably want to do the same
        • Kneel in prayer and lay the project in front of you - our pioneers
          did this!

        • It would be very helpful if you were choosing a Bible promise
          to guide in the ministry
        • What are you waiting for? Start right now!

        • Praise the Lord.
