Session Four: Evangelism - Extending God's Kingdom
"All over the world this gospel is bearing fruit and growing... " - Colossians 1v 6 

Paul's words remind us that the gospel of Jesus Christ is a dynamic, powerful force in this world, fulfilling Christ's own promise to build His church. We are called to be His witnesses and share the message of salvation with people around us. As a community of people whose lives God has radically changed, we are responsible for seeing God's kingdom extended through this good news. How do we faithfully, relevantly and radically evangelise?
