영어 초록

In view of the importance laid by the church in general on evangelism,
it is appropriate that we consider the topic of evangelism in Church
Growth, for without evangelism there is no church growth.1) We, who call
ourselves the children of God are commanded to be involved in
evangelism. The nature of our Christian faith demands that we evangelize.
Furthermore, it is because of the commitment to evangelism by other
Christians, especially the missionaries, that we from different countries in
Asia heard the gospel of Jesus Christ and became Christians. We are,
therefore, obligated to reciprocate by our dedication to evangelism. It is
time now for us who are in Asia to continue the work that the
missionaries before us have started. In his opening address entitled,
“Greetings from a Dutch Churchman,” at the International Congress for
Itinerant Evangelists held in Amsterdam in 1983, J. Verknyl had rightly
said:
... at the root of all our problems lies the reality of broken communication
with God and between people. And only Jesus Christ can restore that
communication through his life and work. I agree with you all that the most
inhumane thing we can do to our neighbors is not to tell them the story of
Jesus. We should tell that story through all means available: personal contact,
dialogue and media.
