The core theme of evangelism is sharing the Gospel or the good news about Jesus. It is all about a saved person talking about how Jesus Christ changed his/her life. The effectiveness of evangelism will always depend upon how the person who shared the gospel experienced it in his/her life. It is the duty of a church as a community and a believer as an individual to reach out the unreached. GLS offers some of the best church resources for this purpose. Whether it is tracts or booklets, they all proclaim God’s greatest gift to mankind – His Son Jesus Christ. In addition to the variety of evangelistic books, GLS also has hymn books for church service and believers’ personal use. Booklets and tracts are available in English, Hindi, Marathi, Odiya, Kannda, Telugu, Malayalam, Nepali and Gujarati.
To foster relationship with assemblies GLS has taken many initiatives over a period of time. Some of them are: 1. Providing resources for outreach and church growth based on the local felt needs. 2. Helping assemblies to set up their own libraries from a range of specific titles provided by GLS. 3. Procuring resources, which are not available with GLS, from outside to meet specific local needs. 4. Providing books specifically published to reach out to opinion leaders/opinion changers in the local places. 5. Giving limited financial assistance to assemblies doing charitable work, medical relief etc, 6. Facilitating short term ‘Missions Training Programme’ to make local evangelism more effective, 7. Initiating translation into local languages through the assistance of assembly workers, and 8. Encouraging believers to contribute articles/write- ups in the Harvest Time magazine.
