New free video tells the Christmas story - embed or download

You can make a difference to world evangelization. God can use you.
This short article by Greg Laurie, used by kind permission, reminds us that we are unique, and may touch lives in ways we cannot imagine.
I have heard it said, “I am only one, but I am one. I cannot do everything, but I can do something. What I can do, I ought to do. What I ought to do, by the grace of God, I will do.”
One godly man or woman can make a dramatic difference, even in the darkest of circumstances. Jesus put it this way:

The web as a perfect mission field - you can start being an evangelist and missionary from your own home

3. It would be a place where people connect with other people in community, and people like and expect to meet new people...

Lack of emphasis on evangelism outreach in the church: the 99 Percent Problem
It’s almost like there's a rule: 99% to us, 1% for them. We can see it reflected in Christian bookshops, where a search of the book titles and videos will reveal that the vast majority of material is produced entirely for Christians, in terms of language, content and underlying assumptions. Just how many books and videos are truly evangelistic and accessible to unchurched people who do not know the language and the concepts?
