Servant Evangelism

If you look at the schedule for this year's HSLT you will notice that there is a slot on Saturday morning for "Servant Evangelism" and you may be wondering, "What is that?" Servant evangelism is simply showing the love of Christ to others by simply serving them.

Jesus would often ask people, "What do you want me to do for you?" They would often reply with a physical need and Jesus, knowing that every physical need is also a spiritual need, would meet them right where they were at. He would address their physical needs which would also address spiritual needs in their life.

One of the ways that we can follow Jesus is to simply meet people right where they are at - to love and accept them by meeting their physical needs and then let God use that to address their spiritual needs. It's just a lot of fun to bless others!

And the cool thing is, that in the process of letting God use us in that way, we are not only serving others but serving God at the same time - and that is a definite KA-CHING in the spiritual relams!

Matthew 25:37-40
"Then the righteous will answer him, 'Lord, when did we see you hungry and feed you, or thirsty and give you something to drink? When did we see you a stranger and invite you in, or needing clothes and clothe you? When did we see you sick or in prison and go to visit you?' "The King will reply, 'I tell you the truth, whatever you did for one of the least of these brothers of mine, you did for me.'
