Evangelink
church of Christ Jamaica Event
The concept of Evangelink is to have Christians from across the island "link up" at a specified point to
evangelize and spread the gospel of Christ in that area. The usual activities undertaken are
1. The distribution of gospel pamphlets with a list of surrounding congregations
2. A Street Meeting with congregational singing and preaching
The idea behind Evangelink came from our annual youth retreat
where commonly on a Wednesday, campers would be organized to journey to surrounding communities to distribute tracts.
This effort was further reinforced by a street meeting within that same
week. It was reasoned that the success of this event was the strength of numbers and the unifying of Christians
in this common goal of spreading the gospel.
After the 2004 Youth Retreat the idea developed to mobilise brethren
from among the local congregations, to journey to a selected community
to expose the word of God and assist the congregations in that area.
The first Evangelink took place that year in Mandeville - Manchester
and since then it has journeyed to various other communities across
the island. These include Morant Bay - St. Thomas, Savanna la mar -
Westmoreland, Annotto Bay - St. Mary, and Patrick Gardens - Kingston.
Phillipians speaks about the "fellowship of the gospel", Evangelink
has sort to bring the youth of the church into that fellowship. It
has to its credit placing the gospel in literally thousands of hands
and has brought together hundreds of Christians from across the
island, walking the streets, pavements, tracks of this country with
the gospel in their hands, a smile on the face and the joy of working
in God's glorious ministry in their hearts.
