Know Peace:
Peace I leave with you; my peace I give you. I do not give to you as the world gives. Do not let your hearts be troubled and do not be afraid. - Jesus
Here's Hope:
Our cities need healing. People need answers to today's problems and hope for a better future. Jesus is the answer. Look what he did when he saw hurting people...
"Jesus went through all the towns and villages, teaching in their synagogues, proclaiming the good news of the kingdom and healing every disease and sickness.
When he saw the crowds, he had compassion on them, because they were harassed and helpless, like sheep without a shepherd.
Then he said to his disciples, “The harvest is plentiful but the workers are few.
Jesus loves cities here is how he prayed for Jerusalem:
“O Jerusalem, Jerusalem, the city that kills the prophets and stones those who are sent to it! How often would I have gathered your children together as a hen gathers her brood under her wings, and you were not willing! See, your house is left to you desolate. For I tell you, you will not see me again, until you say, ‘Blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord.’” - Matthew 23: 37-39
Jesus broke down the racial, political, gender and religious barriers of his day to unite people around a common cause:
For he himself is our peace, who has made the two groups one and has destroyed the barrier, the dividing wall of hostility, by setting aside in his flesh the law with its commands and regulations. His purpose was to create in himself one new humanity out of the two, thus making peace, and in one body to reconcile both of them to God through the cross, by which he put to death their hostility. He came and preached peace to you who were far away and peace to those who were near. – Ephesians 2:14-17
That cause is called The Gospel, which literally means "good news." The Good News is that Jesus, through pain and sacrifice, paid for the wrongs of every person on the planet, both then and now. We are on a mission to spread that Good News to all who are open to receiving it. That process is called "evangelism". Evangelism literally means to proclaim good news.
Have you received it?
Have you received Jesus as the sacrifice for your sin and the Saviour of your soul? Are you ready to join us on this journey of spreading the Gospel to every receptive person on the planet?

WHY?
As our culture radically changes, old forms of evangelism can create an obstacle to the gospel – for the church planter, missional leader and marketplace Christian alike. Studies suggest that the general state of evangelism today is weak among followers of Jesus. An increasing number of pastors, leaders and church-planters have seen the need to bring good and effective evangelism thought, tools and motivation more broadly to the Church. Picture a growing movement in church after church of Jesus’ followers engaging in spiritual conversations regularly with non-believers where we live, work, learn and play!
