Organic Outreach is a training seminar developed by Church Sports Outreach (CSO) that aims to assist local churches in the training of their congregations on outreach. Organic Outreach is NOT about learning a method or launching a program but about gaining a different and empowering perspective on outreach. This perspective frees us from the guilt we often sense around outreach and moves us into strategic and effective involvement in our natural spheres of involvement.
If you have walked very long with Christ, you know of his call to share the life changing truths of the gospel with those outside of the kingdom. Upon hearing this call, we all long to be used of Christ in altering the destiny of someone who doesn’t know him. Yet, sadly many of us feel along with that longing a sense of guilt – guilt from a lack of effort or results when it comes to outreach. In the face of that guilt, many of us are left wondering if God could ever use us in outreach.
Organic Outreach takes dead aim at this view by building a biblical perspective on outreach from the teachings of Jesus and Paul that frees people from this undue pressure and moves them into strategic involvement in the “process” of outreach.
“Introducing people to Christ is something even I can do! Outreach is not just providing an invitation to church, or passing the pagan to the pastor but understanding that by developing relationships with others I will have opportunities to move others closer to Christ. Organic Outreach has helped me to understand and develop these relationships with an ambassador’s purpose of moving others towards Christ. It’s not just the one time event its a living commitment.” Jeff Bardo, Organic Outreach participant
