Teamwork Makes the Dream Work [Audio]

Teamwork makes the dream work in world evangelism! It's not a new revelation, but this truth was so impressed on my heart during our mission to Benin in February of 2018. Two ministries from the United States and all our supporters, a group of fellow workers from Benin, and 60 churches from Lalo, Benin all worked together to reach a city and touch a nation for Jesus. Each one of us have a part in the work of God in the earth. You are a very important person for world evangelism. When we work together, we win. When we pull apart, the devil wins. By working together, we can reach the world through Jesus Christ! This is true on many levels—in our families, in our local churches, and on the fields of world evangelism. United, we can reach the world! This message was preached at the Country Church in Ruthton, Minnesota. Enjoy this message and put it into practice in your life and ministry. Sermon Notes… Teamwork Makes the Dream Work “And he said unto them, Go ye into all the world, and preach the gospel to every creature. He that believeth and is baptized shall be saved; but he that believeth not shall be damned. And these signs shall follow them that believe; In my name shall they cast out devils; they shall speak with new tongues; They shall take up serpents; and if they drink any deadly thing, it shall not hurt them; they shall lay hands on the sick, and they shall recover. So then after the Lord had spoken unto them, he was received up into heaven, and sat on the right hand of God. And they went forth, and preached every where, the Lord working with them, and confirming the word with signs following. Amen.” Mark 16:15-20, KJV. Preach the Gospel: “For I delivered unto you first of all that which I also received, how that Christ died for our sins according to the scriptures; And that he was buried, and that he rose again the third day according to the scriptures:” 1 Corinthians 15:3, 4, KJV. “For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.” John 3:16, KJV. They (plural) the Lord working with them (plural) Teamwork makes the dream work. We saw this in Benin—2 ministries from the US, 6 on our team (apostle, 2 pastors, 2 interpreters, and a driver/photographer). We also worked with 60 churches in Lalo, Benin, who now have the responsibility to preserve the harvest. The Lord’s dream is the evangelization of the world. That’s why He gave us the Great Commission. M.T. As every member of the Body does his or her part, we can reach the world for Jesus. “And the eye cannot say unto the hand, I have no need of thee: nor again the head to the feet, I have no need of you. Nay, much more those members of the body, which seem to be more feeble, are necessary: And those members of the body, which we think to be less honourable, upon these we bestow more abundant honour; and our uncomely parts have more abundant comeliness.” 1 Corinthians 12:21-23, KJV. Young parts Older parts. Men. Women. Preachers. Business people. Homemakers. Quiet people. Loud people. Michael Lusk: 36 year old evangelist I learned strategies from. He know about them because an older minister took him under his wing, TL Osborn, and showed him how to do crusades. Too many people are unwilling to invest in others. We need one another. We need the TEAM to function. FIVE VIPS FOR WORLD EVANGELISM * EVANGELISTS “And He Himself gave some to be apostles, some prophets, some evangelists, and some pastors and teachers, for the equipping of the saints for the work of ministry, for the edifying of the body of Christ, till we all come to the unity of the faith and of the knowledge of the Son of God, to a perfect man, to the measure of the stature of the fullness o...
