Personal Ministries, Evangelism and Sabbath School

“Follow me and I will make you fishers of men."

This implies that in a general sense we are all soul winning evangelists. Maybe not the slick talking type but original individuals that are called to let their lights shine for God wherever we are. North New South Wales Personal Ministries Department is about equipping NNSW members to become the fishers of men Jesus is calling them to be.

Our vision is to empower Christ followers to believe what God believes about them. Jesus’s method wasn’t a program it was the development of individuals who could be led by the Spirit and who could fulfil the gospel commission.

ARISE Australia - An immersive, three-month discipleship program. Learn what it means to be a disciple-making disciple through intense biblical instruction, community, and hands-on ministry experience. For more information visit ariseaustralia.org.

ARISE For Life – Taking ARISE to the streets. 'For Life' is an optional, practicum focused course for those who have completed ARISE Australia. Many of the students who finish ARISE find that they can’t let their experience end there; they want to extend and improve their outreach skills and potential. Beginning soon after the ARISE graduation, For Life helps its students focus fully on implementing what they have just learnt. In this course students are guided yet given more freedom to immerse themselves in the experience of practical Christianity.

Local Missions Volunteering - The mission of Local Missions is in its name; it is designed to facilitate full-time mission volunteering, locally! It’s an initiative born from the understanding that mission work doesn’t have to be over the sea and far away—in our back yards, on our doorsteps and across the road are people who don’t know Jesus. Here, a person wanting to volunteer can be paired with a local church to help its pastoral team meet the needs of both the church and the community. To find out more information or apply to be a Local Mission Volunteer visit www.localmissions.com.au.

EMPOWER - A week-long, training experience in the art of making disciples and leading small groups, for Jesus. Both full time and night time ticket options are available. It is our desire that this program will empower you to more confidently share your faith with others. Lay members, Sabbath School teachers, anyone and everyone who wants to be empowered for mission will benefit from this experience.

Evangelism

Our vision for evangelism is simple: to be bold in sharing the loving and saving message of Jesus Christ to the communities we are a part of. We are called to make disciples of all nations and this commission forms the vision of the Evangelism Department in the NNSW Conference. But it doesn’t stop with us. In fact, it starts with you, and we want to equip you in your local churches to live out this commission in both your individual lives and shared communities. We want to provide opportunities to partner with you by pooling our resources and our talents to bring people to Jesus through public evangelism.

We currently have three conference evangelists - Charissa Torossian, Justin Torossian, and Lyle Southwell - and you can request to have a series held in your area! Each of our Evangelists are amazing communicators of God’s Word and genuine Christ followers who God uses mightily. They’re unique in their style and ability but one in their purpose of preaching of the everlasting gospel and preparing as many people as possible for the soon return of Jesus Christ. Charissa is originally from Sydney, Justin from Anguine, California USA, and Lyle is from Tasmania.
