Volunteer Work Boosts Christian Evangelism According To ChristiaNet Poll

Volunteer work such as Christian evangelism, community outreach, Christian witnessing and discipleship are some of the volunteer opportunities available at http://www.christianet.com/volunteers.htm

Houston, TX (PRWEB) December 18, 2006 -- ChristiaNet.com (http://www.christianet.com), the world's largest Christian portal with twelve million monthly page loads, conducted a recent survey based upon the question, "Is aggressive Christian evangelism effective?" The total number of readers to participate in this survey was 219. Fifty-nine people answered "yes" in favor of being bold with sharing the Gospel. One reader commented, "Aggressive Christian evangelism resulted in our New Testament of the Bible."

Participants who were unsure or answered "no" totaled 80 in each group. An overall concern with these groups included exercising wisdom while doing volunteer work and not pushing possible converts away. Bill Cooper, President of ChristiaNet.com offered some valuable advice for Christians, "Pray for guidance from the Holy Spirit and always keep an attitude that shows love and forgiveness towards others."

Zealous preaching doesn't have to include starting a "holy war" or shouldn't involve "brainwashing." However, Christian evangelism should include being zealous for God and obedient to His Word. Reading God's Word can give a Believer some valuable insight into how one should minister to others. Paul ministered through writing letters to the churches and often dealt with problems that were happening at that time.

Overall participants seem to agree that one should be lead by the Spirit of God when trying to win souls through volunteer work. One Christian wrote, "People should pray about how they witness to each individual or group they come across and let God guide the situation." Though many do not agree in a "hell, fire, and brimstone" approach, some people may need that type of outreach. Christians are the messengers to share the good news to the lost and to encourage one another.

Believers can plant the seeds through volunteer work but God is the one who brings life. One can be aggressive without being destructive or cocky. Being energetic about the Gospel can get the attention of others. As one participant pointed out, it is important to be zealous about God's love while understanding free will. Everyone must make up their own mind about accepting the gift of salvation. The marvelous message here is that salvation is a gift, not available to anyone through good works, but only through Christ. For more information, visit: http://www.christianet.com/volunteers.htm
