* Become a channel for God’s presence to awaken others. Seek to maintain intimacy with God, so that your close relationship with Him will strengthen you and make others notice that something is different about you. As you enjoy God’s presence with you, know that it will flow through you to attract others. So spend plenty of time communing with God in prayer and worship. Help other people sense God in your life and desire close relationships with Him themselves.

* Help plant churches. Whenever you can, help plant new churches. Pray for them, support them financially, and do volunteer work to help them start. Understand that church planting is a highly effective way of evangelizing the world because new churches can reach all types of people in innovative ways and serve their communities well, releasing new leaders to take on new ministry opportunities.

* Remember that you’re in full-time ministry, even in the secular marketplace. Always keep in mind that your evangelism work is just as valuable as the work of someone in paid vocational ministry. Know that God will constantly bring you important opportunities to evangelize, in your workplace and elsewhere, and that your efforts matter. Decide to do your best for God, reaching lost people at all times and in all situations in which you sense Him leading you to do so.
