In this video, Pastor Ted Wilson will share some amazing ways that you can reach people for God! Let your light shine for Him! For the past several months, life has been very challenging as the world has been dealing with a global pandemic. However, in spite of the limitations this has placed upon us as individuals, and on the normal way we do many things as a Church, the Lord has given His Church, His people, creativity and ingenuity in finding ways to carry on with His mission, in spite of the limitations we have faced! Many of those new and innovative ways have involved creative use of the internet—providing virtual camp meetings, online Sabbath school and church services, Weeks of Prayer, Vacation Bible Schools, youth meetings, and even virtual summer camps! There have also been several evangelistic meetings that have taken place completely online. We praise God that hundreds of people have been baptized as a result of these efforts!
While you may not have had the opportunity to be a virtual Bible worker, we all have God-given opportunities to reach out to others, sharing the message that gives us hope and courage. It might be through social media, messaging, or some other electronic means, or perhaps through a phone call, or even an old-fashioned handwritten letter—if our hearts are open to God’s leading, He will show us, even with today’s challenges, how to reach others for Him.
God is going to use each of us in amazing ways, giving opportunities to answer many questions that the world has no satisfying response—“What is this crisis all about?” “What does the future hold?” “Why do you have a happy, peaceful look on your face? Do you know something I don’t know?” People want answers—not only from reading the Bible by themselves—they want to hear it from you! They want to hear your testimony, your experience of being connected to the Source of all truth and power— Jesus Christ!
Connection with Jesus is key. In order to reach people—encouraging them, bringing them truth and hope, you and I must first connect daily with Jesus—through Bible study, through prayer, through reading the Spirit of Prophecy, and by following His example in reaching out to others. And as we connect with Jesus, He will give us wisdom, courage, and guidance in how best to let our light shine for Him. And I believe time is of the essence, while people are still pondering the deep questions resulting from this global pandemic. God is calling you and me, depending on us to reach others for Him! May God use you today, and in the coming days, to reach as many as possible for Him—reflecting His love and care and sharing the good news that He is coming very, very soon!
