About LWM » Core Values » Reach
The final step is where we understand our call to influence our world for Christ. This is achieved in ministry outside the walls of the church to people who do not know Christ. Jesus died for the whole world. As we begin to see all people as precious and valuable to God, we willingly give of ourselves to help reach them with the good news of Jesus. The final step is experienced in many different means. It begins with a commitment to communicate our faith in natural ways, both by our words and our lifestyle – sharing our time, our resources and our lives. It means a commitment to invite unchurched people to services and build relationships for the purpose of the gospel. It can mean taking a short term mission trip to see the gospel spread in needed areas of the world. It can mean getting involved in compassion based outreach to minister to the community the love of Christ and open doors for the gospel. In essence this step is a lifestyle commitment to make Christ known outside the established body of believers and to see community-wide transformations and advancement of His Kingdom on earth.
