The Business of Ministry – Witnessing!

Greetings to you in the name of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ! Christian Outfitters is please to have you visit our website.

For more than 50 years, Christian Outfitters has been glorifying the word of our Lord Jesus Christ through our inspirational line of clothing. We, as Christian, are witnesses for Jesus Christ. We are His vessel, His Instrument, His tool, His Ambassador. . . He uses us to witness!

. . And you will be my witnesses, telling people about me everywhere— in Jerusalem, throughout Judea, in Samaria, and to the ends of the earth.”

Acts 1:8 NLT

Christian Outfitters allows you to wear your witness!

Matthew 9: 3 – (NKJV) And Jesus went about all the cities and villages, teaching in their synagogues and preaching the Gospel of the Kingdom, and healing every sickness and every disease among the people. But when He saw the multitudes, He was moved with compassion for them, because they were faint (bewildered, loss, confused) and were scattered abroad, as sheep having no shepherd. Then said He unto His disciples:” The harvest truly is plenteous, but the laborers are few. Pray ye therefore to the Lord of the harvest, that He will send forth laborers into His harvest.  We, as Christians, are the laborers! In fact, most of our mission work should be done from Monday through Saturday, in the fields! It is the Business of Ministry. . . . Typically, Sunday is for re-generation. . . re-tooling . . . re-dedication . . . re-energizing. . .

Have you given thought as to how you define yourself in the body of Christ? Which of the following best describes your behavior; preacher, teacher, apostle, prophet, evangelist, disciple, witness, saint . . . benchwarmer, part-time participant, drag along. . .

Let’s be clear, all believers are ministers of the gospel . . . we are ministers of a new covenant . . . 2 Corn 3:1-16 (NLT). We should be working in the harvest fields sharing the good news, sharing the gospel! As we allow Him, the Holy Spirit uses us to witness in our home, our community, our neighborhood, our city, our state and throughout the world (the fields).

The staff at Christian Outfitters is praying for the Holy Spirit to pollinate the seeds that we sow through our inspirational apparel, allow them to grow such that the harvest can be gathered at His appointed time. Our mission is simple, to be a witness! Our opportunity to witness is enormous!

Opportunity to Witness

90% of un-churched people would go if they were invited, yet only 20% are ever invited!

80% of first time visitors go to church because they were personally invited.

According to Gallup Poll (2010) 43% of individuals in USA attend church on a regular bases; i.e. almost every Sunday. . . . . this means that it is highly likely that if   you’re in the harvest field that 1 out of every 2 people that you meet, do not attend church on a regular bases. . .

Women still make up a majority of those in the pews: 46 percent of the nation’s women attend church, 37 percent of the men attend church.  

Don’t confuse your mission with the Holy Spirit’s mission; i.e., we cannot save anyone! We should not “beat people up” about salvation! Our mission is to lift up Jesus. He will do the drawing. Our job is not to convict or judge, the Holy Spirit will bring about conviction!

Our mission is to witness and allow the Holy Spirit to do His work. Consider dedicating up to 2 hours of your time each week to witnessing! Think of it as a tithing of your time! Wear your inspirational message (your witness) where people can read the words. . . Then watch and feel the Holy Spirit work and speak through you. There is no need to preach to the people you meet. There is no need to be a fanatic!  There is no need to exert pressure.  There is no need to make a nuisance of yourself.  Our mission is to be a witness.  Christian Outfitters provides you with products that allow you to wear your witness! You’ll be surprise how many people will read your message. To God be the glory!

Blessing to you! We appreciate your business.
