From Our Director, Mike Ainsworth:
Mike Ainsworth, Ministry Assistant & Evangelism Director
Thank you for visiting us online! Our Evangelism Ministry is here to serve you! With a desire to serve the body of Christ and the Cornerstone Conference, we are called to partner with each pastor by providing encouragement, training and resources for the work and ministry of evangelism and its focused efforts in each church. The Cornerstone Conference has a passion to see congregations fully equipped and actively making an impact in each community with the gospel message.
We are here to assist by providing consultation and resources in various areas of Evangelism including: Church Planting, Church Development / Revitalization and Intercultural Ministries. We invite you to please visit our other pages (links are below) for more information about the opportunities available our Conference Evangelism Ministries.
We celebrate the importance of EVANGELISM by considering these foundational biblical truths:
- God’s purpose in sending Jesus was to reconcile the world to Himself. (2 Cor. 5:19)
- God’s motivation in sending Jesus was love. (Jn. 3:16; Rom. 5:8)
- We join Him in His mission as His ambassadors. (2 Cor. 5:19-20)
- We reflect His heart to the world around us when we join Him in His mission. (Jn. 17:25-26)
- We share Jesus with others because His love compels us. (2 Cor. 5:14)
- God’s heart is one that desires for all men to be saved and rejoices when even one person is found in Him. (Lk. 15:1-32; 1 Tim. 2:4; 2 Pet. 3:9)
- God’s commission is for His people to be witnesses, making disciples of all nations. (Acts 1:8; Matt. 28:19-20)
- We obey His command to evangelize the world around us because we love Him. (1 Jn. 5:3-4)
- God’s power to save is exhibited in the Gospel. (Rom. 1:16; 1 Cor. 1:18)
- We can lose personal inhibitions when our confidence is in His power and not our abilities and thereby boldly proclaim Jesus as God’s solution to the sin problem. Through Jesus people are made right with God. (Acts 1:8; Rom. 1:16)
Our Scriptural Mandate Is His Last Words To His First Disciples:
“And Jesus came and spake unto them, saying, All power is given unto me in heaven and in earth. Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost: Teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I have commanded you: and, lo, I am with you always, even unto the end of the world. Amen.” Matthew 28:18-20
