Encounter For Souls: A Worthy Cause

This book, Encounter for Souls: A Worthy Cause, was inspired by the dearth of common or obvious evangelistic outreaches to the rural areas. It is a common factor today that most ministries are engaged in urban outreaches and evangelism, whereas, there is a growing withdrawal, almost an abandonment in most parts of the world for outreaches to hidden and rural communities. The Church needs to awake and address this dearth, especially among the inner-city Churches packed mostly with converts who do not understand anything about evangelism beyond their cities. God's heartbeat for souls is not limited to the lost souls who reside in the big cities only, His heartbeat is pants for the souls that are abandoned in villages unreached and almost certainly unknown. God is concerned for the souls of the people in these places as much as He is concerned about the souls of those in the cities. In the book of Ezekiel chapter 18 verse 4, God declared that all souls are His, as the soul of the father so is the soul of the son. He warned that the soul that sins shall die. It is however not in the interest God that anyone should die but that sinners turn away from their wicked ways and live. Every soul is bound to die and there is a place that such soul is bound to go based on accountability. There is an accountability that one in Christ who lives right with God would have eternal rest with Him in heaven. There is also accountability that those that are not saved in Christ would have their place with satan and his demons in hell. This book, Encounter for Souls A Worthy Cause shows us the worthiness of obeying the commandment of the Lord. Jesus urges us in Mark 16 to go into the world and preach the gospel. Whosoever believes in God and receives the gospel will be saved and those who reject him will be damned. It is noteworthy though, that the opportunity that given to those who otherwise would have been damned for not hearing the gospel, was availed to them because proselytizers stepped out to the places where there were souls. They went into all the continents of the world with the goods news. We ought to go now and take the gospel back to all the continents, across languages, races, and cultures. Jesus must be heralded as the Lord and Savior of the world. This solemn beckoning for the return to the hidden places of souls is the inspiration behind this book - The Encounter For Souls. It is a worthy cause the Church must pursue with the resources at its disposal.Symbolically, the book portrays a situation where a ministry concerned with a mission to the unreached people of Gbara, in an uncharted terrain planned and engaged on a mission to the community. The encounter that ensued led to a deluge of souls for Christ including the head of the community. I encourage every reader of this book to study it as a material intended to spell out one of the patterns for local outreaches. I pray that as you study this book you would be blessed.
