This episode of Missions Incorporated was recorded live for a Saturday special on the topic of the side benefits of evangelism. Our motivation to evangelize the lost should primarily be love for God and obedience to Jesus Christ. Knowing more of the ways God uses our evangelism besides saving souls can also be helpful in spurring ourselves on in joyful obedience. Upcoming Missions Livestream | Defining Biblical MissionsOrganize a Vision Trip to learn about PMc and the Italian contextJoin a PMc Short-term CohortsMore Links:Support PMc Join PMc's online community - The Italian CohortServeLearn about missions and evangelism at the PMc AcademiaWatch Missions Incorporated videosRead missions content at the PMc Missions BlogCheck out Jesse's interview on Provoked PodcastListen to Italian Worship songsMissionary Q&AAsk a Question via Speakpipe and be featured on the podcastPMc NewslettersPMc InstagramPMc FacebookLike Jesus driven to His cross, so we drive ourselves to the singular task of the edification (planting) of Biblical churches in Italy.If you like the podcast, please leave us a 5-star review so others can learn about the podcast and the ministry to the Italian people through Practical Missions Cohort.

Short-term trips can be great, but they're often made of a large group of people who spend a week volunteering and then just leave. While that might help address a community's immediate needs, it rarely leads to deeper connections for anyone involved. At Uncharted, we started implementing Vision Trips: an experience oriented towards learning about our international Locations, meeting people, and establishing what will become long-last relationships with people around the world who are all working toward the same goals. In this episode, we're talking about Vision Trips and we're asking questions like: what is a Vision Trip, and how is it different from a regular, service-oriented trip? And how do they help unify the church so we can work together to fulfill the Great Commission?

In addition, we talk about some answers to prayer and ways you can join us in prayer, in particular for a church plant called Punto di Luce north of Udine that we are now serving."Few come to Christ. Of the few that come, many come with personal interests/intentions. Others come thinking they can offer something to Jesus as if this were possible. Still, others come to a Jesus created in their own minds, an idol of their own making who is not the biblical actual Jesus. Few come to the real Jesus for their real need, that is to be forgiven and saved."Links to things mentioned in this Podcast Episode:10-Day Update with photos: New ChapterVideo Update on YoutubeCome to Me - SermonPMc Short-term Cohort Info for 2020Punto di Luce church plant in Udine2nd Quarter NewsletterBlog Post: Bettering Your EvangelismPMc Vision Trip Info PMc Job Opportunities: ESL Director, Italy AdministratorServe: Long-term, Intern, Short-termAsk a MissionaryChurch Plant in Italy: Vera VitaThank you, enjoy and God bless!

In this episode we begin a new series where we teach some lessons on evangelism taken from our evangelism encounters in Italy.Mr. Thou Art is the name give to the man we were evangelizing in order that we can better remember the experience and pray for him specifically.Some things he said include:"I'm the best artist in the world.""Europe doesn't know what good art is.""My name goes back 700 years, but I cannot tell you what it is; it's a secret.""F*&% America. F&%* Europe."Two lessons:1. There are signs that help you understand when one is likely possessed of evil spirits. Knowing the signs helps.2. Do you best, by His grace, when you evangelize, but always remember that salvation belongs to the Lord and He knows those who are His; God alone predestines, calls, justifies and glorifies.

A brief mission update from PMc on-field director who just returned to Italy with his family. Included in this episode is an exhortation J.C. Ryle on "the necessity of repentance". In addition, we share some brief updates regarding a church plant in need of prayer and our missionaries readjusting to Italian life and ministry. We also share new prayer requests."I beseech you by the mercies of God, to lay to heart the things which I have just been saying, and to ponder them well. You live in a world of cheating, imposition, and deception. Let no man deceive you about the necessity of repentance. Oh, that professing Christians would see, and know, and feel, more than they do—the necessity, the absolute necessity, of true repentance towards God! There are many things which are not needful. Riches are not needful. Health is not needful. Fine clothes are not needful. Noble friends are not needful. The favor of the world is not needful. Gifts and learning are not needful. Millions have reached heaven without these things. Thousands are reaching heaven every year without them. But no one ever reached heaven without "repentance toward God, and faith toward our Lord Jesus Christ." - J.C.

A brief mission update from PMc on-field director who just returned to Italy with his family. Included in this episode is an exhortation from Hebrews 10 on "stirring one another up to love and good deeds". In addition, we share some brief updates with prayer requests. We thank the Lord that many people have learned about the need for the Gospel in Italy, many have been challenged to broaden their view of the Lord's global mission, and many people and churches are considering to get personally involved with PMc."Too often in our relationships, even within the Christian community, we can find ourselves forgetting the importance of stirring one another up to love and good works. The problem is that each of us is continually facing trials as we live in a fallen world, with a sinful flesh and an Enemy. Thinking intentionally as to how to stir one another up can often be ignored."Links to things mentioned in this Podcast Episode:10-Day Update: Flying Back to ItalyVision Trip Info Job Opportunities: ESL Director, Italy AdministratorServe: Long-term, Intern, Short-termAsk a MissionaryChurch Plant in Italy: Vera VitaThank you, enjoy and God bless!
