Lulus Reflections on Evangelism

As my evangelism class comes to an end, I have been reflecting deeply on everything I learned this month. What started as a simple topic in a classroom has become something much more personal. It has challenged the way I live and how I see the people around me every day. Through studying The Master Plan of Evangelism and listening to teachings on the heart of the message, I have realized that sharing our faith is not about filling church seats or giving long speeches. It is about carrying the love of Jesus into the world.

The biggest lesson I learned is that Jesus is our perfect example. He did not just preach to large crowds, He invested His life into a small group of disciples. He walked with them, served them, and showed them how to live. This taught me that evangelism is more than just speaking words. It is about spending real time with people, loving them genuinely, and living a life that reflects Christ. Often, people are not looking for a perfect sermon, they are looking for hope, truth, and someone who truly cares about their struggles.

I also learned that true evangelism must come from a place of compassion rather than religious duty. When Jesus looked at people, He saw their pain and brokenness, and His heart moved with love. This made me ask myself if I truly see people the way Jesus does. Sometimes we get comfortable in our own circles and forget that many people around us are silently struggling or searching for meaning. Evangelism is about carrying the burden for others because we understand that Christ is the answer they need.

Another important realization is that evangelism is for every believer, not just for pastors or leaders. Not everyone will stand on a stage, but everyone can reflect God’s light in their daily life. We can share the Good News through simple conversations, small acts of kindness, or by sharing our own stories of how God has helped us. Sometimes the most powerful witness is simply being there for someone in a moment of need.

I have also come to understand that evangelism includes the work of discipleship. Jesus did not just want followers; He wanted disciples who would grow and help others grow. This means that our care for someone doesn't end after a single conversation. It requires patience and a commitment to walk alongside people as they learn about God. This class has shown me that I don’t need to be perfect or have all the answers to be used by God. I just need to stay close to Him and be willing to share His love.

Evangelism is not just an activity we do, it is a lifestyle of love and obedience. As I move forward from this class, I want to carry this mission with me in everything I do. I have learned that while words are important, our actions and our hearts matter most. In conclusion, as Pastor Danteh quotes, sermons don’t change people love does.

MY TESTIMONY

My Journey of Faith: From Fear to Peace For a long time, my life was shaped by fear. Growing up in a violent environment, I was always anxious and worried. Even though my mother was a believer and I grew up in the church, I didn’t have a personal connection with God. I knew about Him, but I didn’t truly know Him. Everything changed in 2016 at a revival service at Parklands Baptist. That day, I stopped trying to act like a “perfect Christian,” and I got real with God. I prayed with total honesty and told Him about my struggles and my anxiety. But what made this moment truly life-changing was understanding the work of Jesus on the cross and how personal it is. In the middle of all the chaos I was carrying inside, there was a moment of stillness. It felt like everything paused, and in that silence, Christ met me. Even though everything in my life felt heavy, I experienced a deep, unexplainable peace, even if just for a moment. For a long time, I had struggled with self-harm and deep inner...

 Title: Learning to Trust God’s Timing Life does not always move according to our plans, and sometimes the seasons that feel slow or uncertain are the very moments God is shaping our lives the most. This week, through personal journaling, I reflected on how God has been guiding my journey even when I did not fully understand what He was doing. As I looked back on the past few years, I realized how many significant changes happened in my life. I became a mother, got married, and made the difficult decision to resign from my job without having a clear plan for what would come next. At the time, it felt like a step into the unknown. However, as time passed, I began to see that God was still leading me. New opportunities came my way, including receiving a scholarship and the chance to serve and work in the church. These experiences reminded me that what we sometimes see as delays or uncertainty can actually be moments where God is preparing us for something greater. One verse that deep...
