Fresh Wind, Same Mission: Revitalizing Evangelism and Discipleship

The mission of sharing the gospel and making disciples has been at the heart of the church since its beginning. Throughout generations, the Holy Spirit has moved powerfully among believers, stirring hearts and providing courage to proclaim the good news. The same Spirit who worked in the lives of the apostles and those in the early church is at work today, empowering us to continue the mission of evangelism and discipleship.

Although this mission has not changed, how we live it out is continually renewed by the fresh wind of the Holy Spirit. Our world may feel different, and the challenges we face today may seem new, yet the Spirit remains constant, giving us the energy and boldness to live out our calling. The Spirit revives our hearts, reminding us that evangelism is not limited to grand acts or public platforms but is woven into the fabric of our daily lives.

We are called to bear witness to God’s love in all that we do. We have countless opportunities to share the gospel in word and action. The fresh wind of the Spirit revitalizes our efforts, reminding us that our mission is ongoing and that we are part of something much bigger than ourselves. The Spirit’s power is not only for us but also for the world waiting to hear the good news.
