GOALS
Reaching, Growing, & Serving Others for Christ
Reaching Others for Christ
As a Christians, God has purposed us to reach the lost, to preach the gospel to those who would listen, and even to those who think “its foolishness” 1 Corinth 1:18. The modern church is continually hammered by scandal, impropriety, and to the non believer, it’s an institution set up to take your money. For these reasons, many will never go to a bible based church. They will never hear the message, and the Holy Spirit will never be able to convict them of our sinful nature, which separates us from God, and condemn us. That’s why evangelism is so important in reaching the lost, but largely ineffective because of the places people evangelize. Street corners, parks, stores, etc. It requires putting the person in an embarrassing, uncomfortable position. He or she may say yes, to your message under pressure, all they can do is listen politely, or leave and flat out reject your message, in either case they soon recant when away from that setting. Typically people will walk the other way, rather than getting in to that situation. It’s hard to reach the lost, but people came to Jesus to hear His message. Jesus put people at ease, and was truly interested in the person. Jesus even spoke from a boat. Luke 5:3. His GOOD NEWS message saved the lost, and gave them hope. People come to the GOOD NEWS boat, and people will continue to come. They will come and be served, they will see God’s glory, they will hear a message from God’s Word, and they will see God’s light shine through this ministry.
Grow Others in Christ
When people come on the GOOD NEWS they want to help, they want to learn. As God continues to grow the ministry, we will “make disciples of all nations” Matt 28:19 We will teach and mentor kids to fish, crew, and how to run and sail a fishing boat. We will show others how Jesus taught us to serve. We will teach others the message of the gospels, and they will share that message will family and friends. We work together with other people and have other boats to bring the GOOD NEWS Fishing Ministry to different areas and different parts of the world.
Serve Others through Christ
As we continue to grow, there will be other churches, groups, missions, ministries, individuals, companies that will want to utilize the GOOD NEWS as an outreach for their own particular needs. It may be for Bible Study, leadership meetings, fellowship, small groups, teaching & training, individual evangelism opportunities, prayer meetings. We need to let all these organizations know that we all need to work in unity and purpose to further the gospel of Jesus Christ. We will offer our ministry to be used to serve any of their needs which will fulfill this purpose.
