Why do we do Outreach?
“Outreach” is a staple word in any Christian church. We have outreach ministries, outreach programs, outreach youth activities, outreach books, outreach pastors. Most Christians are familiar with this concept, but outreach is still an under-emphasized topic among Christians. What we sometimes fail to realize is that outreach isn’t a program. Outreach is ingrained in the Christian’s life. It’s a natural response to God’s “in-reach”.
Jesus said to go into all the world and preach the gospel…therefore, if you don’t do outreach, then you are missing out on the biggest command of all…GO!
For those churches who have some sort of outreach (which should be every church!), the question must be asked: “Why do we reach out?” This is a crucial question.
