Some people want to be international evangelist and preach the world over. And that is good.

Start Where Your Are & Scale Up
How about starting with people that you interact with daily? How about starting with members of your family? How about your co-workers? How about students on your campus? That is where it starts. So just start where you are.

But how about starting with the next house and preaching to your neighbour? Jesus said, "You shall be witnesses to Me in Jerusalem, and in all Judea and Samaria, and to the end of the earth" (Acts 1:8).
This is how it worked for the disciples, and that is how it works for us. It is a strategy for evangelism. They were to start in Jerusalem, where they were. Next came nearby Judea and Samaria, and then the rest of the world.
Here is what God is saying, in effect: If you want to reach the world, then start with your world. When you think of going into all of the world and preaching the gospel, that is a daunting task, isn't it?

But how about this? Go into all of your world and preach the gospel. I know of an interesting group of people. They are small in stature. They have a lot of energy. They have a short attention span. But they are very open to the Word of God.
They are called children. They can be found in Sunday school rooms and are in need of people to teach them the Word of God. You might be thinking, I am looking for the big call of God. But what about starting with something small?
How about just sharing Jesus when you are out and about? How about starting with people that you interact with daily? How about starting with members of your family? How about your co-workers? How about students on your campus? That is where it starts. So just start where you are.
Prayer: Lord, help me to see the opportunities for ministry all around me.
