The word for "evangelism" (or "evangelization") comes from a Greek word "evangelion."
There are actually four forms of this basic word. One word means "good news," two
words mean "to proclaim the good news," and one refers to the "evangelist" or person
doing the proclaiming.
Evangelism is not just a series of meetings or church services. Evangelism is not the
same as revival. Revival is the Lord at work in the Church. In revival, the emphasis is on
the presence of the Lord restoring life to His people.
Evangelism is the church at work for the Lord. In evangelism the emphasis is on the new
birth experience, the beginning of spiritual life. The renewal resulting from revival,
however, sets in motion the forces of evangelism which result in "new creatures in Christ"
so the two are tightly linked together in terms of spiritual life.

How To Intercede
This is the confidence we have in approaching God; that if we ask anything
according to His will, He hears us. And if we know that He hears us whatever
we ask-we know that we have what we asked of Him.
(I John 5:14-15)
The key element in intercessory prayer is not how loud we pray, nor how energetic we are in our
prayers (this is not say that these are wrong), but how sincere our requests are as we make them
known unto God. It is imperative that God's glory be the end of our intercession because Satan's
chief goal is to prevent God from being glorified. Therefore, if we are to have as our primary
goal the glorification of God and commit our whole soul and being to the movement of
intercessory prayer, God will manifest Himself. "Then you will call upon me and when you seek
me with all your heart, I will be found by you..." (Jeremiah 29:12-13).

Environmental Analysis
And God saw that the wickedness of man was great in the earth, and that
every imagination of the thoughts of his heart was only evil continually.
(Genesis 6:5)
Each born-again believer is called of God to become part of the great spiritual body
known as the Church. The main commission given the Church is to take the Gospel to all
nations:
Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the
Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost:
Teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I have commanded you: and,
lo, I am with you alway, even unto the end of the world.
(Matthew 28:19-20)
...Thus it behoved Christ to suffer, and to rise from the dead the third day...
...That repentance and remission of sins should be preached in His name
among all nations... (Luke 24:46-47)
Efforts to fulfill this challenge are affected by something known as "environment.” This
lesson introduces the subject of environment, defines the term, and explains how the
environment relates to the mission of the Church.

POSSESSING THE PROMISES
Now the Lord had said unto Abram, Get thee out of thy country, and from thy kindred,
and from thy father's house, unto a land that I will shew thee: And I will make of thee a
great nation, and I will bless thee, and make thy name great; and thou shalt be a
blessing: And I will bless them that bless thee, and curse him that curseth thee: and in
thee shall all families of the earth be blessed. (Genesis 12:1-3)
and from thy father's house, unto a land that I will shew thee: And I will make of thee a

blessing: And I will bless them that bless thee, and curse him that curseth thee: and in
thee shall all families of the earth be blessed. (Genesis 12:1-3)
