Global Outreach Day one day I one world I one message SALVATIONS GOSPEL LITERATURE 5.7 MILLION 142 MILLION TRAINING NATIONS THE MAIN PERSON 6.8 MILLION 140+ E VERY B ELIEVER Every last Saturday of May millions of Christians are sharing the Gospel worldwide
CHALLENGE Europe: 98.7 % is lost “Contemporary Europe has become the most godless civilization the world has ever known“ New York Times. America: gaining atheism and secularism. Loss of the christian identity and values. 6,600 ethnic groups are still unreached. 90% of Muslims have never heard the Gospel. Over 5 billion people around the world do not know Jesus as their per- sonal lord and savior. Amongst the increasing broken world, they are facing eternity without perspective - the Good News is desperately needed. 93% of church members never share the Gospel with others “There aren’t enough missionaries to solve all the issues in the world. But there is an army of believers, sitting in churches, waiting to be mobilized. Ordinary people, empowered by God, making a difference together, wherever they are. If we can figure out a way to turn an audience into an army, it will change the world. It’s time to stop debating; let’s start doing. It’s time for the church to be the church. Be part of Global Outreach Day.” Rick Warren VISION We have to create a culture of evangelism. Global Outreach Day The vision of Global Outreach Day is every believer sharing the Gospel on the last Saturday of May every year. The Global Outreach Day (G.O.D.) is a catalyst to mobilize the church for evangelism. This day of action is a first step to a lifestyle of evangelism. One Movemnet The movement inspires Christians around the world to live a li- festyle of evangelism and discipleship.
TRAINING 3 STEPS Christians worldwide are trained to spread the Gospel by Werner Nachtigal Stephan Gängel being taught 3 simple steps: TO PERSONAL E VANGELISM • how to start a conversation • the basics of the Gospel message • how to lead somebody to Jesus Global Outreach Day „This training material is unique...“ Training Book 1 Training booklet sample Paul Eshleman Vice President Campus Crusade & Jesus Film PRAYER The Global Outreach Day combines prayer with action. That is why we are connected to many prayer movements like Global Day Of Prayer. The night before the G.O.D. took place this year, we partnered with IHOP for the first time to hold the Global Upper Room and mobilize Christians around the world to pray. ACTION It’s easy! Every Christian can be part of it. We all are called to share the Gospel with everyone we meet. Here are some practical examples of how Christians are sharing the Gospel: • One on One – Inviting someone over for a cup of coffee and telling him about Jesus. • In small groups – reaching out to the streets, in the market places, parks, etc. • Care and share – Doing something good for the needy in hospitals, prisons, children’s homes etc. • Reach your area – Visiting home to home or strategic campaigns with other churches. • More ideas – Concerts, open-air meetings, flash mobs, banners, share tracts, posts on social media, etc.
TESTIMONIES • Amazon – A tribal chief and parts of his tribe in the Amazon got saved. • Dominican Republic – Many people from various back- grounds grounds came to faith in Jesus: several prostitutes, a star basketball player, a whole criminal gang, and many more. • Bangladesh – A Muslim man dying from severe Cholera and already given up by doctors, got prayed for and received com- plete healing. As a result, his whole family got saved, too. • El Salvador – A man so crazy he was being kept in chains like an animal found deliverance and salvation in Christ. • Nepal – A witch doctor received healing during prayer and got saved. • Costa Rica – A drug producer got saved, then destroyed his production facility and now shares the Gospel. • Sri Lanka – A two year old boy, completely paralyzed in both of his legs since birth, was totally healed after prayer. • Germany – A man, whose legs had been mostly unable to move for 32 years and who had to use a complicated support frame for walking, was totally healed. We received countless reports of evangelistic activities in homes, on the streets, in prisons, hospitals, etc. OUTCOME • Millions of Christians shared the Gospel for the first time • Thousands of leaders personally trained and they trained their whole church • Millions of people reached out with one-on-one evangelism • Thousands of small groups and churches planted • Many participating Christians are now sharing the Gospel regularly • Nepal: 6,631 home fellowships started – 22,000 people baptized • Philippines: a church in a slum area grew through the G.O.D. outreach from 300 to 475 and later tripled in just a few months • Nigeria: a movement with 30,000 congregations was inspired to evangelize monthly • Uganda: over 20,000 leaders trained as well as 3,900 church planters. As a result, 580 new churches were established.
