Final Exam Missions Tech II - Fall 1997 Name ______________________________________ Box ________________ Essay Question: This is a Two part question.   On page one write your comments or Thoughts about the best missions methods now being used by present day missionaries.   On page two give your Thoughts on how we can reach the World with the Gospel, (Methods) in as quick a time as possible. [The best missions methods being used today are those that are really involved in prayer.   Of course, the leadership of the Holy Spirit and a Bible basis that is stressed are also time proven. Missionaries that are sent out by one particular Baptist church seem to be used more by God.   Cooperation in getting the missionary to the field between churches works o.k. provided helping churches continue to be informed after the missionary party gets there.   If the methods can get the whole church involved I think we will do better.   Deputation is useful but it seems to be too long (time-wise) for those missionaries desiring to go to Japan or any other Asiatic country.   Methods that take the time to find out where the interested people are saves precious time in the long run.   We need to reach the reachable and teach those who are teachable.   Methods that emphasize daily witnessing to people you come across are good.   What we need is more Bible preaching without compromise whatsoever.   We need to pray for our present labourers at home and abroad. --KL Paulson]

2 [I think many of us are dreaming about an easy way where the lost sinners just come flocking to our churches.   Sorry, I find Paul and the rest of the N.T. saints labouring . . . working daily.   The old ways that emphasized the putting the Lord first in our lives cannot be improved on.   We need to put the Great Commission more into practice. We need a revival of prayer and Holy Ghost power that wakes us up.   Personalized offers for Bible study and teaching need to be included.   Sound Baptist materials in print need to be written and distributed. Baptists need to start moving out and reaching folks for Christ again.   Gospel radio and correspondance courses need to be used even in seemingly "Christianized" nations (e.g. America).   People need to get rid of just their Sunday-going-only-to-church idea.   The Internet should be used . . . and not just centered on English-speaking people as it is now.   We need to get back to the Baptist church trained disciples who learn how to preach under a preacher or missionary who has gained practical experience as a Baptist church planter.   We need solid on fire preaching that moves men to serve and love God better.   The true Gospel needs to be known including repentance and faith. --KL Paulson]
