EVANGELISM / OUTREACH
| You are saved through Jesus Christ... What a wonderful message this is. Jesus lived a perfect life, died an innocent death and suffered hell; all in your place! We at Covenant Lutheran Church are here to spread this joyous news to the Metro-Milwaukee area. We are doing so by utilizing Acts 1:8 Ministries. As our mission statement clearly defines; …EMPOWERED BY THE HOLY SPIRIT, WE COMMIT OURSELVES TO THE CHANGING OF LIVES THROUGH JESUS CHRIST BY HELPING OTHERS FIND SALVATION IN JESUS CHRIST... We encourage you to join us on our journey that Jesus has placed before us. |
Acts 1 “The Story of Jesus Taken Up Into Heaven”
1 In my former book, Theophilus, I wrote about all that Jesus began to do and to teach 2 until the day he was taken up to heaven, after
giving instructions through the Holy Spirit to the apostles he had chosen. 3 After his suffering, he showed himself to these men and gave
many convincing proofs that he was alive. He appeared to them over a period of forty days and spoke about the kingdom of God. 4 On
one occasion, while he was eating with them, he gave them this command: “Do not leave Jerusalem, but wait for the gift my Father
promised, which you have heard me speak about. 5 For John baptized with water, but in a few days you will be baptized with the Holy
Spirit.” 6 So when they met together, they asked him, “Lord, are you at this time going to restore the kingdom to Israel?” 7 He said to
them: “It is not for you to know the times or dates the Father has set by his own authority.
8 But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit comes on you; and you will be my witnesses in Jerusalem, and in all
Judea and Samaria, and to the ends of the earth.”
9 After he said this, he was taken up before their very eyes, and a cloud hid him from their sight. 10 They were looking intently up into
the sky as he was going, when suddenly two men dressed in white stood beside them. 11 “Men of Galilee,” they said, “why do you
stand here looking into the sky? This same Jesus, who has been taken from you into heaven, will come back in the same way you have
seen him go into heaven.”

| Evangelism is the responsibility of all Christians. We are called by Jesus Christ to go and make disciples of the nations. Our goal is to help people be connected with Jesus Christ and experience the gift of eternal life. (John 3:16, 2 Corinthians 5:17 21, Matthew 28 :18- 20) |
