“The Ministry of Evangelism will be all about multiplying the Gospel,” Director O’Neal stated. “Evangelism is the heart of everything the Church of God is all about, and our ministry will be working to continue to bring that to the forefront.”
O’Neal went on to say that the extensive strategic plan was only fully unveiled to the team during the recent meeting. The intense two-day workshop involved dialogue on the six multiplication ministries and ten multiplication systems that will direct the Evangelism Ministry. The Multiplication Ministries include focus on Personal Evangelism, Church Planting, Church Health and revitalization, Evangelist/Revivalists, Apologetics, and General Evangelism.
O’Neal introduced the assignment for the GMN which includes a “business plan” to outline the multiplication systems designed to accomplish the six multiplication ministries for accomplishing evangelism in the Church of God as set forth by the recent General Assembly.
“Church of God Ministry of Evangelism is built upon the philosophical and strategic vision to complete the Great Commission of Jesus Christ in the Spirit and Power of Pentecost,” O’Neal stated.
The GMN convened ahead of the upcoming Church of God Leadership gathering, scheduled for next month at the International Offices where state and regional leaders will meet to receive resources to lead their respective assignments for this Assembly period. The Ministry of Evangelism plans to formally introduce the GMN during the Leadership meeting and subsequently to the entire Church of God during a Facebook Live launch on October 8, 2024.
