Doing Evangelism together (2)

Why should we do evangelism relationally? Acts suggests several reasons:

• to have fellowship (Acts 9:19, 26-28);
• to have companionship (18:18; 19:29; 20:34; 27:1-2; 28:15);
• to have protection (9:30; 17:15; 20:2-4);
• to have encouragement (28:15);
• to form an official delegation to attend the Jerusalem Council (15:2) and
• to deliver famine relief (11:30; 20:4);
• to provide for material needs (18:1-3;19 24:23; 27:3; 28:14);
• to engage in the ministry of edification (11:25-26; 14:21-23; 15:35; 15:40-41; 16:4-5; 19:9; 20:6-38);
• and to engage in the ministry of proclamation (9:28-30; 13:1-5, 13-16, 44-46; 14:1, 7, 20-21, 25; 17:1-15; 18:5-8).
