This document discusses reasons for workplace evangelism. It argues that Christians working in corporations have been providentially placed there to witness for their faith. The "Great Commission" commands Christians to spread the gospel to all parts of the world, including the business world. While most missionary efforts focus on tribal and impoverished groups, corporate Christians have an opportunity to evangelize the vast population of professionals. All Christians, regardless of vocation, have been sent by Jesus into the world to share their faith.

14. Why me?
When sluggard Christians hesitated
in obeying the great commission, to
“Go”, God used globalization and
the corporate to move, especially
Indian Christians out of their
comfortable Christian colonies to
the corporate!
15. To some Christ calls: "Leave boat and
bay, and white-haired Zebedee"; To
some the call is harder: "Stay and
mend the nets for me."

17. “ I am not asking you to take them out of
the world, but that you keep them safe
from the evil one. They do not belong to
the world just as I do not belong to the
world. Set them apart in the truth; your
word is truth. Just as you sent me into the
world, so I sent them into the world.”
(John 17:15-18)

22. 3 ALL’s
Go into ALL the world and preach the Gospel.
Which definitely calls us to preach the gospel
in the corporate world.
Wherever I go, whichever company I work I
am called to “preach the gospel”.
23. “Then the devil, taking Him up on a high
mountain, showed Him ALL the kingdoms of the
world in a moment of time. And the devil said to
Him, “ALL this authority I will give You, and their
glory; for this has been delivered to me, and I
give it to whomever I wish.”” (Luke 4:6-8)
Are you hunting behind “Success” or submitting
to “Serve” the Lord at the workplace?
24. A free flowing river purifies itself
and is alive with life. So also is the
Christian who becomes involved
with others in sharing the Gospel.
That Christian will discover the
reason for his or her existence.
Being involved in the ministry of a
witness is essential to finding the
fulfilment we desire as humans.
25. “But I want you to know, brethren that ALL that
happened to me have actually turned out for the
furtherance of the gospel”.
(Philippians 1:12)
Whenever and whatever I do, I am called to
“preach the gospel”.
26. “the seventh angel sounded: And there
were loud voices in heaven, saying, “The
kingdoms of this world have become the
kingdoms of our Lord and of His
Christ, and He shall reign forever and
ever!”

27. “yes, woe is me if I do not preach
the gospel” (1 Corinthians 9:16)….

"I have but one passion: It is He, it is He
alone. The world is the field and the field is
the world; and henceforth that country
(company) shall be my home where I can
be most used in winning souls for Christ." –
Count Nicolaus Ludwig von Zinzendorf
Editor's Notes
Out of the 85% of the whole population a major chunk of about 300 million are middle class and upper middle class people, whom we happen to meet at our offices. The rest 15% are the Tribal and the downtrodden, which include the Slums of the cities. However, the 90% of the Missions force is concentrating on the 15% of the tribal and downtrodden where as only as meagre as 10% is trying to reach the 85% of the population.
The ball falls at your court! And God also wants it that way… You – The Missionary @ Your Workplace. The power weapons that can be used at the periphery are your Vocational Identity and Skills
