A Series of POW

When you hear the word “evangelism,” what comes to mind? Most people I ask will respond with “evangelistic meetings.” And they’re right! And wrong. Evangelism involves a wide array of activities. It encompasses all the things a person or church does to lead people to Jesus. Based on what I’ve just stated, let me ask you another question: is a revival series evangelism? Yes? No? The answer: Absolutely!

Before the orange farmer in Florida enjoys a rich harvest, before he even begins to prepare the ground and seed, he has to prepare himself. Is he strong enough for the season? Is he healthy? Does he know what his groves need? Does he know which trees need to be pruned and where new trees need to be planted? Laying the groundwork is essential. The same is true for evangelism. A revival series is the preparation for the work ahead and is a vital part of the evangelism journey. That’s why, as a part of the It Is Written evangelism initiative ACTS 20:21, we produced a six-part, virtual revival series called No Limits: A Life of Power. The series aired at the end of January and is still available on demand at nolimits2021.com. Our goal was simple: enable church members and participants to tap into God’s infinite power for the work ahead.

We did something we’ve never done before with It Is Written programs. Instead of simply directing people to a website or It Is Written TV to watch No Limits, we partnered with over 400 churches across North America to create a dynamic and interactive experience. We provided each church leader with the video files and materials to be used in a POWER discussion at the end of each session. Then, facilitated by a video conference platform, members enjoyed Pastor Bradshaw’s dynamic presentation, followed by a discussion and prayer led by their pastor or church leader. For six nights members and viewers were energized by the Word of God. They were reminded of the power of prayer, the value of Bible reading, the need for the presence of the Holy Spirit, and the importance of church attendance and involvement. The response from people as a result of this series of presentations has been so encouraging. It was amazing, and I feel energized and revived. I am ready to face the year ahead. —Jennifer Watch on demand at nolimits2021.com Thank you for including me in the No Limits series.

God bless John and the whole IIW team. —John We have been enjoying watching Pastor Bradshaw’s meetings on our Zoom link with both churches in our pastor’s district. We had 50 people online last evening and were greatly blessed by the presence of the Holy Spirit as we discussed the topics covered. —Jan My husband and I have been blessed by the presentations by John Bradshaw and the discussion time following each presentation. We hope that you will continue such presentations on a periodic basis. We are uplifted and encouraged to continue on our walk with God even in these perilous times. —Bonnie Bonnie is right: we are living in perilous times; more so than ever before. Thanks to No Limits, church members are equipped and ready to begin the next phase of the evangelism cycle in their local communities.
