Some Random Thoughts of Evangelism一些随想传福音

Earlier today, I took part in a regional gathering of InterVarsity staff.  I am the newest member of the North Central Region of InterVarsity.  I think I’m the only person from my region who has no experience with campus ministry.  I come to InterVarsity with a background in church ministry, most recently as an urban church planter (my job is to start a West Bank chapter that is a shared ministry of InterVarsity AND今天早些时候，我参加了一个区域的聚会intervarsity工作人员。我的最新成员，北中部地区的intervarsity ，我觉得我是唯一的人从我的区域谁已没有任何经验与校园部，我来intervarsity与背景在教会部，最近作为一个城市的教会播种机（我的工作就是开始对约旦河西岸章，这是一个共享部intervarsity和 Missio Dei使命dei ). ） 。

Many parachurch organizations grew out of the failure of the Church to engage it context missionally.许多parachurch组织的前身的失败教会从事它的背景missionally 。 The church in modernity began to compartmentalize itself, believing that it was the job description of the church to perform a set of vital functions.  Evangelism was one of these functions.  The problem was that once an organization is committed to its own survival and the care of its members, it can become very difficult to also commit people and resources to evangelism.教会在现代开始compartmentalize本身，认为这是职务说明教会的执行一套重要职能。传道之一，这些职能。问题是，一旦一个组织，是致力于其自身的生存和照顾其成员的，它可以成为很困难的人还承诺和资源，以传福音。

And hence it was largely the megachurch that showed us the way to salvation.  Resource-rich and people-rich, these large communities were able to offer differentiated professionals and volunteers to tackle the different "tasks’ of the church: evangelism, worship, teaching, pastoral care, mobilization, etc.因此，它主要是megachurch表明，我们的方式，以救赎。资源丰富和人民丰富的，这些大型社区能够提供有区别的专业人员和志愿者以解决不同的“任务'的教会：宣讲福音，信仰，教学，牧师关怀，动员，等等。

In recent years, many within the Church have begun to realize that that ecclesiology is more that a set of tasks.  And many folks realized that things like community and evangelism weren’t seperate things at all.  About 10 years ago, folks began to read books like the Celtic Way of Evangelism and slowly woke up to the realization that community is an integral part in evangelism (though many folks throughout history already knew this little secret).近年来，许多与教会已开始认识到这是教会更多的一套任务。和许多乡亲认识到的东西一样，社会和传道人没有单独的东西，都大约在10年前，人们开始阅读书籍一样，凯尔特的方式传福音，慢慢醒来，以实现社区是不可分割的一部分，在传福音（虽然很多乡亲在整个历史上已经知道这个小秘密） 。

And so, today I found myself listeing to InterVarsity folk talking about evangelism.  InterVarsity uses a tool called a GIG (Group Investigating God) as their key evangelism tool.  These small communities of students gather to explore the Bible together.  And as much as I respect InterVarsity, they still tend to do things in a way divorced from ecclesiology.  They tend to see mission apart form ecclesia, just like Churches often see ecclesia apart from mission.  IT was evangelicalism, largely, that created parachurch organizations as a response to the Church’s failure to engage its culture missionally.  And while folks within groups like InterVarsity realize that it needs to embrace community, they haven’t really gotten to the point where they’ve embraced the Church.  I hope the sort of partnership I’ve formed with InterVarsity is a taste of things to come.所以，今天我发现自己listeing ，以intervarsity民俗谈论传福音。 intervarsity使用的工具，所谓的演出（组调查上帝）作为其关键传道的工具，这些小社区的学生聚集在一起探讨圣经在一起。和高达正如我尊重intervarsity ，他们仍然倾向于做的事情的方式脱离教会，他们往往看到的使命，除了形式的教会，就像教堂常常可以看到，除了教会的使命，这是福音神学，主要是，创造parachurch组织作为回应，向教会的失败，从事文化missionally 。乡亲的同时，内部的团体，例如intervarsity实现，它需要社会的怀抱，他们还没有真正得到，以点，他们已经接受了教会，我希望的那种伙伴关系'维生素E形成与intervarsity是一个品味的东西来。
