Now is the time to sow the “Precious Seed ofthe Gospel” in order to
bring the Knowledge ofChrist to those millions who have not yet heard about
the saving graceofJesus Christ.
The ‘ChurchRevival’ and ‘Church Growth’ should complement each
other.ThesecondcenturychurchFatherTertulliansaid, “Thebloodofthemartyrs
became the seed ofthe Gospel.” This emphasises the fact that everybeliever is
the seed ofthe Gospel. The churchesshould not be content withjust organising
the believers into closed communities. In fact, this is not the true calling and
nature ofthe church.
The Great Commission ofJesus Christ is “Go ye unto the whole world
and makedisciples.”Thechurchanditsmembersshould be“going” and “making
disciples.” St. Paul, an apostle of Christ Jesus by the will of God, in his three
missionaryjourney’s. Preached and planted churches wherever he went.
TheMissionaryEra is areminderthat the churchesandthe missionfields
should continue themissionaryaspects ofthechurch’s calling. Ifthisis not done,
many unreached and un-evangelised areas and people in the world willbe left
out without the Gospel.
So, everychurchand everyChristianmust evaluate their roleinreaching
out to those who have not yet been reached and in delivering the Gospel. Every
Christianis a missionaryand his next door is his verymissionfield, to where he
could bringChrist’s concernand lovethroughhis exemplarylifeand actions.The
churchesshouldcrosstheirboundariesandproclaiminthewordsofJohnWesley,
“The world is myparish.” Then, inno time, the Gospelshallreach everynook
and corner ofthe world.
It is our endeavour through the “Wisdom for the Heart” Magazine to
givea welcomefillup to thechurches and Christians engaged intheirSowingthe
Seed and ChurchPlanting Ministryenabling themto reachout to the world. “He
who goesout weeping, bearingtheseedforsowing, shallcomehomewithshouts
ofjoy, bringing his sheaves withhim” (Psalms 126:6).
Maythe Lord’srichest blessing beuponyou and your dearfamilyas you
serveHimdiligently!

4. 4
Two thousand yearsago Jesus Christ said, “Go ye into alltheworld and make
disciples inallNations”. We havethus beenmaking disciples, but we have not gone far
enoughandmadedisciplesinallnations.Why?BecauseoftheconcentrationofPersonnel
and Financialresources in alreadyreached areas with disastrous consequences. The
emphasis ofthemission was shifted to the past century. Most Missionaries are sent to
maintainalreadyestablished works rather thanpioneering work. The imperativeis not
merely to go, but to go and make disciples. The primary goal should be to find new
ways ofreaching out to people inallNations, the young and old alike.
First
At the outset, each body of believers, here and abroad, must take on the
responsibilityofreaching out to its ownpeople: be it a town, village or a territoryand
evenacommunity.Wemust say,“HereiswhereGodhascalledustogatherhisHarvest”.
Secondly
The Churches that were started by pioneer missionaries must now become
‘Sending Churches’. Thisis the willofGod. Each fellowship ofsaintsmust assume the
overallresponsibilityto evangelise people beyondits culturalboundaries.
Thirdly
TheYounger Churches must measure the ministrynot in terms of how many
people they“Seat” but how manypeople they have sent as missionaries. It is not the
massiveness oftheChurchbuilding that givescredit to its congregationbut the number
ofmissionariesthat it sends out to the un-evangelised areas and setsupworship places.
Finally
The Churches must pursue flexible methods of Evangelismthat are suited to
cultures in which they work. Let us stop complaining that we do not have enough
workers, moneyand materialresources. Ofcourse, it is true ofsmaller churches. The
homes ofmembers ofsuch churches must become “outposts” oftheir churches and
extend theactivities ofthe churchesto their neighbourhood.
The goalisto launcha “People’sMovement” withthe visionto take the saving
message of Jesus Christ to unreached places. When we focus on ‘Each One Teach
One’we canreach the nations one byone. We must come out fromasense ofgloomy
defeatismin the face ofopposition and failures, since, theHolySpirit is withus inthis
MissionaryJourney.
Beloved, please prayfor us and feelthe responsibilityofsowing the seed and
winningothersfor HisKingdom.

To,
The Chief Editor,
Wisdomforthe Heart Magazine
Secunderabad.
Greetings inthe precious name ofourLord and
Saviour, Jesus Christ.
It so happened to see your magazine,
WISDOM FORTHE HEART at myfriend’s. I
felt veryhappy to see the photograph of Rev.
BenjaminKoppolu. Afteraverylongtimeatleast
I could find himin the magazine. I had a close
associationwithhimwhenheworkedasPastor
for the II Telugu Baptist Church in Mulapet,
Nelloreafterfinishingat KavaliinNelloredistrict
insixties.
Of course I knew of his service at Burma and
other places when I was in Kavali. I was
studying High school at Nellore at that time.
After myschoolfinal, i.e., in1968Ihadto leave
Nellore. But I remember himalways.
Before I left Nellore he called me and advised
to confess Jesus as my saviour before I die. I
took it verylight but it took me some 30 years
to understand the great gospel imbibed in his
advice. It is simple yet it is the only thing that
one has to do to attain Heaven. Now I am an
evangelist taking the gospel to the villages
around. Thank you once again for giving me
the opportunityofhaving his photograph.
I prayforallthe ministryyou’re inforHis glory.
Regards,
John Koppolu
Nellore
