Jesus continued, “In the same way, there will be a gloriousCelebration in heaven over the rescue of one lost sinner who Repents, comes back home, and returns to the fold—more so than forAll the righteous people who never strayed away.” (Luke 15:10)

THE FORKObeying the Great Commission

What is the Fork?

• Matthew 28:18-20 ~ “Then Jesus came close to them and said, “All authority of the universe has been given to Me. Now go in My authority and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the Name of the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit. And teach them to faithfully follow all that I have commanded you. And never forget that I am with you every day, even to the completion of this age.”• Acts 1:8 ~ “And you will be My messengers to Jerusalem,

throughout Judea, the distant provinces (Samaria)—even to the remotest places on earth!”• The Fork is our efforts in the earth to gather in the Harvest for

the Father. In Jerusalem, in Judea, in Samaria and in the uttermost parts of the earth.

The Prongs of the Fork

• Prong 1 ~ Jerusalem. Our Jerusalem is our family and co-workers. People we interact with daily.• Prong 2 ~ Judea. Our Judea is our community. People we see

often but not every day. People that live in our town and neighborhoods.• Prong 3 ~ Samaria. Our Samaria is our State and Nation. We don’t

even know these people but we are still commissioned by Jesus to win them to the Kingdom.• Prong 4 ~ The Uttermost Parts of Earth. The literal world. Every

tribe, tongue and nation on this planet. We are also commissioned to win them to the Kingdom.

Jerusalem & Judea

• BWC does good as a people working in our local harvest fields.• We are all focused on praying for people everywhere we go. We look for

opportunities to love people.• We do as many outreaches as we can to bring Jesus close to people in our

community.

• The people of BWC strive to live as Jesus did before our families and people we interact with often.

• BWC has the Outreach ministries of the Deacon’s Table and Tabitha’s Boutique to help those in desperate need whenever the opportunity comes up.

• Don’t forget about PRAYER! Praying for the lost every day is a command from the Word of God. Prayers are seeds too! We all have people in our realm of influence who desperately need to meet Jesus. Prayer paves the way for opportunities to witness and minister to them.

Samaria

• How can we, as individuals reach in our state and nation?• All of us are on some kind of social media platform. We all sow

the Word of God out there every day by sharing scriptures and inspiring articles etc. That is sowing into Samaria.• BWC has a website that is available to the entire state and nation

to interact with.• BWC Soul-Celebration Ministry has Soul-Seeds ads that reach every

state in the union with the Gospel.• Again…don’t forget about prayer! Pray for America and the

harvest here.

The Uttermost Parts of Earth

• What can we do to reach into the uttermost parts of the earth?• As individuals, we can use Social Media to make it public

to the entire world. • As a church, we have opportunities to sow prayer and

money into foreign countries..literally all over the world.

The Soul Seeds Ad

• As individuals, we can literally go into every state in the USA and in 24 nations around the world, every week, every two weeks or every month if we want to. How?

• Through a simple 4-day Facebook ad that preaches the Gospel in all these places over 4 days. It is your own personal Gospel crusade complete with a way for them to pray the sinner’s prayer.

• How much money is spent on evangelists setting up for a crusade? Thousands of dollars in equipment, travel expenses, etc. They get a lot of souls to be sure, but it is a massive effort.

• Each of us as individuals can do the same thing on a smaller scale and win people to Jesus. Do you think God takes note of this? YOU BET HE DOES!

• I’m going to take you through the process of the Gospel Soul Seed Ad that I do each week for the Pastors. I want you to see how effective just 2 people preaching the Gospel this way is…and it’s only $20.

Anatomy of a Soul Seeds Ad

• A Soul Seeds Ad is very simple and yet so very effective. It starts with a sower who wants to sow the Word of God into the World. Jesus said “the sower sows the WORD.”• From there I go to the blog “From the Heart of God” and select a

message from the 600+ messages there and share it to a Facebook page of the same name.• On the Facebook page, I then “boost” the post with an ad over 4

days for $20. I select the countries I want to reach and keyword interests to reach the most people.• After it is approved, the ad begins showing up in the news feeds of

thousands of people in the countries I designated.

BWC’s Missionaries

• BWC has 3 Missionary ministries we support every month.• POWER MINISTRIES IN INDIA ~ $200• DUGIT OUTREACH CENTRE IN ISRAEL ~ $100• SALLEY MINISTRIES IN FRANCE ~ $100

• ABC CHURCH IN NEPAL ~ AS NEEDED• God has chosen these ministries for us to support. It must be important

to Him or He wouldn’t have told us to support them. We must be faithful to our commitment to them regardless of how much money comes into the Soul-Celebration Sunday offerings.

• The more people sow directly to these ministries, the less BWC has to draw on our “All Things Common” bucket, which is really for our local activities.

YOU are the Sower!

• Even though I do the leg work of the Soul Seeds Ads, it is YOU who is going into these nations and in every state in the US. It’s your $20 and it is your Gospel message. And when you give to our missionaries, it is YOU going to France, to Israel, to India sowing the Gospel.• What does this mean? It means that every person who goes to the

Meet Jesus Here page on that blog and prays the prayer of salvation is a soul YOU have won to the Lord! • And it is deposited into YOUR heavenly treasury in Heaven. We

are to store up treasures in Heaven. Souls are million dollar bills in the heavenly currency. They are that precious to God.

Using Our Forks

• Every believer has been commissioned by Jesus Christ Himself to go into the whole earth and bring in this harvest.• We are running out of time. Jesus is coming very, very soon and

once the Bride is out of here, it’s not going to be fun for the people left behind.• God is harvesting all over the world—big time. As we will see in

the video in a few minutes. • We must use ALL of the prongs of our forks to gather as much as

we can while we still can.

The Challenge of the Fork

• The challenge to us all is to begin or continue to use all four prongs of our forks. How?• Keep working in your Jerusalems and Judeas as individuals.• Support the efforts of BWC’s outreaches in prayer and participation and

giving as needed.• Seek new ways to use your voice on Social Media to reach into the state and

nation through a Gospel page that you manage and promote.• Begin or continue to pray for BWC’s Missionaries in France, India and Israel.

Seek God’s direction on giving money to support them as they work the fields. You become co-laborers with them!

• Begin or continue to sow the Gospel into all states and 24 nations of the world by doing Soul Seeds Ads. You are literally going into all the world with the Gospel. We have tools in place to help disciple those won through these ads.

• Don’t forget to PRAY! Pray for the lost to come in. Pray for the Missionaries on the ground. Pray the Lord of the Harvest to send more laborers…and each of us can step up our game to go as He leads us.

Soul-Celebration Sunday

• Soul-Celebration Sunday is really a celebration of the souls won throughout the month all over the world! It is a Soul-Celebration! At BWC, the new name for missions is now SOUL-CELEBRATION SUNDAY! You can bet that each soul that comes in, all of Heaven erupts in celebration.• It is a monthly celebration like Passover, Pentecost and Sukkot

Feasts we celebrate yearly. It is a time to celebrate WITH God and all of Heaven the labors of the month.• We must look at it this way. We must, throughout the month, seek

God and plan to bring a special offering to give into the work of the Harvest. It is very important to God.

Ways to Gather the Special Offering

• Start putting change into a “Souls Jar” throughout the month.• Sacrifice a meal out or a coffee once a week or so and put that

money into the Souls Jar.• Designate a portion of your budget for Missions offerings if the

Lord says to.• There are ways each of us can use all four prongs of our fork to

fulfill the commission of Jesus Christ to all His people.• I challenge everyone to earnestly ask the Lord what He would

have you do. And obey what He says to do. You won’t regret it. I promise you won’t.

What can we expect?

• When we fully use our forks, we can expect this scenario at our Wedding Reception in Heaven:• Hundreds and maybe even thousands of people coming up to us to

say “thank you” for sowing the Gospel into my life. Jesus told me what you did….I wouldn’t be here if you would not have done that.”

GO AND WIN THE LOST!

• The challenge is clear. Go and win the lost! • Time is running out• Pray for the lost, talk to the lost in your world, sow the Gospel

into all the world.• If we use all four prongs of our fork, we WILL fulfill the

commission Jesus gave us so long ago.

The Worldwide Harvest of God is HERE!

• Let’s take a look at the mighty moves of God that are happening all around the world AND right here in the USA.
