Effective evangelism is God’s idea, vision, mission, and strategy
to serve a lost world and win humanity back to Himself.
Definition
(Noun) “The arrangement of and relation between the parts
or elements of something complex.” It’s the way in which
the parts of a system or object are arranged or organized.
(Verb) “To construct or arrange according to a plan; give a
pattern or organization to.”
Since the Mission of the SDA Church is the fulfillment of
the gospel commission, the Church, in all its divisions’
organization, institutions, and entities must intentionally
facilitate the mission.
E.G. White
“The Church is God’s appointed agency for the Salvation
of men. It was organized for service, and its mission is to
carry the gospel to the world.”
