We have been given the mandate of spreading the gospel by God as Christians. It is our due responsibility to ensure that we let everyone know about his word of God. In our churches, we organize outreach from time to time. In this article, we will explore church outreach types that we can engage in order to spread the gospel.

All churches need an outreach program for preaching the word of God. No one church can do all the outreaches by itself. Instead, God blessed us with different gifts that we can excel in as we spread ahs word. There are two broad categories of outreaches that are essential and optional.

There are some outreaches every ministry ought to perform; they are the essential ones. On the other hand, there are those that the Word of God states that should be carried out. One of them is direct evangelism. The Bible says that all church members have to take part in telling their colleagues and other people about Christ.

World missions are also important. Apart from just telling your friends and other people about the ministry, you out to reach out further. In the scriptures, it is stated that every church has been called to reach out beyond their local communities so as to make disciples of all nations.

The poor and the needy are always despised in our society. As Christians, we should not be among those who despise them rather we should preach to them. When Jesus was describing the kingdom of God to his followers, he told them that helping the least of their brothers is important. Not helping the needy in clothing them, given them shelter and food, could make them miss heaven. When he talked about the least of our brothers, he meant those who are needy.

Jesus loves children, and as his disciples wanted to stop some children from seeing him, he told them to allow them. He also added that the kingdom of God belonged to them. We, therefore, have to minister to children of all ages. The enemy targets them since they are very vulnerable. We have to take the chance to save them before the enemy pounces on them.

We have just mentioned essential ministries. Out of the ones mentioned above, others have been born inclusive of prison ministry. The individual behind bars have to realize that God loves them despite their state. Most of them normally lose of hope of getting out or gaining forgiveness. We need to restore this hope in them. The military and disabled also have to hear this wonderful word. They ought to know that the mercies, grace and love of God are abundant.

Our youths have always been a target of the enemy. They easily fall into sin since they are at their active stage. We need to salvage them from such situation by instilling the word of God in them. By letting they know that God is in charge of their destiny they will gladly surrender their lives to him so that they can live fulfilling lives. Lastly, let us keep in mind that we are mandated to spread the word. God is faithful, loving and forgiving; that is the message that everyone needs to hear.
