The Gift of Communal Evangelism

In Acts 2, an entire community witnesses together in the power of the Holy Spirit. They eat, live life, and worship God together, and God adds to their number daily. Your chapter and small group can also see God add to your community as you follow Jesus and do life together, prioritizing relationships and belonging alongside discipleship and outreach.

In fact, many Asian American students come to know Jesus because they are welcomed into a community that genuinely loves them and loves Jesus. This is the gift of Asian American communities for evangelism.

What is Communal Evangelism?

Communal evangelism refers to the practice of sharing and living out the Gospel in and through the community. The community leans into the gifts of hospitality and relationships to invite people to follow Jesus with them. It recognizes that many Asian Americans follow a journey of Belong – Engage – Commit or “BEC” when they start following Jesus, where belonging sets the foundation for engaging spiritually and committing to faith. In communal evangelism, every part of the community can contribute to the mission.
