The best way to find yourself is to lose yourself in the service of others.
Our Mission
At Slough SDA, our Evangelistic mission is to provide resources and training to elicit total member
involvement in soul-winning service.
Equipping and mobilising the church members with the necessary skills needed to finish the work entrusted to us.
“Let every church member become a working member, to build up spiritual interests” - Evangelism, p. 64
Prepare the soil of the heart
The first phase is to PREPARE the soil of the heart. When we come close to people in friendship and service, we show that we care. Ministering to people’s practical needs with kindness and compassion prepares their hearts for the truth of the gospel.
And when Jesus went out He saw a great multitude; and He was moved with compassion for them, and healed their sick” - Matthew 14:14
Plant Seeds of Truth
After preparation, the next phase is to invite people to consider spiritual truth by offering Bible studies, or by inviting people to church services and events.
The more spiritual seeds we PLANT, the more interested people we will find—and the greater our harvest will be.
"And the Spirit and the bride say, 'Come!' And let him who hears say, 'Come!'” - Revelation 22:17
Cultivate Spiritual Interest
The next phase is to CULTIVATE the growing spiritual interest. It is best accomplished by engaging in full-message Bible studies while providing friendship, guidance, and spiritual support.
“As newborn babes, desire the pure milk of the Word, that you may grow thereby, if indeed you have tasted that the Lord is gracious” - 2 Corinthians 9:6
Harvest Decisions for Christ and Baptism
After cultivating interests with Bible studies, it is time to reap a HARVEST of spiritual decisions that culminate in baptism. Full-grown wheat is only a blessing when someone gathers the harvest.
“‘And now why are you waiting? Arise and be baptized, and wash away your sins, calling on the name of the Lord’ ” - Acts 22:16
Preserve the Harvest
After the joy of the harvest, we must not relax our efforts. Jesus called us to make disciples, not mere members. To do so requires that we PRESERVE the harvest through nurture and training after baptism.
“Then Jesus said to them, ‘Follow Me, and I will make you become fishers of men’ ” - Mark 1:17
