OUTREACH
FRAGRANCE OUTREACH: Sending forth the Gospel in power, truth, and love to bring sons and daughters into the family of God
Our biggest goal is to see Michigan State University and East Lansing come to know the life changing love of Christ.
OBJECTIVES:
LOVE. Adding value to everyone all the time. No one should leave a conversation with a Fragrance Outreach team member not feeling loved and cared for practically and spiritually.
SIGNS. WONDERS. MIRACLES. Signs, wonders, and miracles followed the life and ministry of Jesus. In the sending out of the disciples in Matthew 10:8 Jesus commanded the disciples that “as you go, preach saying the kingdom of heaven is at hand, Heal the sick, cleanse the lepers, raise the dead, cast out demons. freely you have received, freely give.” in Acts 14:3 we see that the preaching of the Gospel by the disciples following the death and resurrection of Jesus was confirmed through the performing of signs and miracles.
THE FULL GOSPEL PREACHED IN BOLDNESS AND LOVE. Creation, fall, sin, separation, redemption, ascension, life with the Holy Spirit and community.
FUN. This mission is a joy and a privilege. No one is attracted to your depressing and forced looking expression of faith in evangelism. Be normal, have FUN!
PRACTICALS
Though we value homeless ministry, our focus for MSU evangelism nights is the MSU students. Because of this, we ask our teams to not approach the homeless population on campus unless led by the Lord.
Guys approach guys. Girls approach girls. exceptions only made for:
gifts of the spirit; ie prayer for healing or revelatory / prophetic words
If you know the person personally
Make friends and then disciples. not just converts.
“IF YOU SEEK FIRST THE KINGDOM, THE MOST TRANSFORMATIVE, MISSIONARY THING IN AND OF ITSELF IS TO BE FILLED WITH CHRIST. THEN EVERY MINUTE BECOMES A MISSIONARY ENCOUNTER.”
“YOU CAN’T WAIT TO BE A SAINT TO SHARE YOUR FAITH. IF YOU’RE NOT STUMBLING TOWARDS THE FAITH IN SOMEWAY, YOUR WORDS WILL BE HOLLOW".”
