The Work Of The Ministry
by
Stephen J. Scott
The Work of The Ministry is to Evangelize and Disciple:
Matthew 28:16-20:
Then the eleven disciples went away into Galilee, into a mountain where Y’ehoshua (Jesus) had appointed them. And when they saw him, they worshiped him: but some doubted. And Y’ehoshua came and spoke unto them, saying, “All power is given unto me in heaven and in earth. Go you therefore, and teach (evangelize) all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit: Teaching (disciple) them to observe all things whatsoever I have commanded you: and, lo, I am with you always, even unto the end of the world.” Amen.

XI. Evangelism and Missions
It is the duty and privilege of every follower of Christ and of every church of the Lord Jesus Christ to endeavor to make disciples of all nations. The new birth of man’s spirit by God’s Holy Spirit means the birth of love for others. Missionary effort on the part of all rests thus upon a spiritual necessity of the regenerate life, and is expressly and repeatedly commanded in the teachings of Christ. The Lord Jesus Christ has commanded the preaching of the gospel to all nations. It is the duty of every child of God to seek constantly to win the lost to Christ by verbal witness undergirded by a Christian lifestyle, and by other methods in harmony with the gospel of Christ.
