Outreach UK (Home Evangelism) is a UK-based mission that seeks to encourage and train church members in personal evangelism. Earlier this year, Good News Editor Andrew Halloway met with Outreach UK's Liaison Officer, Trevor Dickerson, to see how the two missions can work together. Many people who distribute Good News often ask if there is training available in how to use the newspaper. Well, after talking to Trevor, the answer is ‘yes’! Trevor says: “We believe that it is necessary and vital for those in our churches to be equipped to share their faith, and in so doing, to build up relationships with those who are at present outside the sphere of normal church activities. “We are commanded by our Lord to 'go into all the world and preach the Gospel.' Each of us has a mission field on our door step, to those who live around us, or work with us. Outreach UK uses its 134 years of outreach experience to show how each church member can share their faith in an effective way, to sow seed, to water them and see fruit. “In partnership with Good News newspaper, your church can be trained and equipped to reach out into your neighbourhood with a Gospel tool that is up to date, attractive and presents the Gospel in a medium that is acceptable today.” What might be covered by some training sessions? • The kind of person God uses • Knowing the Gospel • Telling your story • What to say • Presenting the Gospel message • What to do, and what not do • Prayer and preparation • Developing relationship through listening • Answering tough questions • Useful aids • Follow up linking with Outreach UK Outreach UK has full and part-time evangelists.
