World Evangelism Fellowship at JSM
World Evangelism Fellowship was born out of a deep desire of Christians from all denominational backgrounds to reach the world with the Gospel of Jesus Christ. It was realized that when Churches and Ministries band together under the Anointing of the Holy Spirit to attack the strongholds of Satan, much can be accomplished.
This is the reason World Evangelism Fellowship was formed - to channel the efforts of Churches and Preachers from all over the United States, Canada, and the world into a unified, proven plan to reach the lost and dying with the Good News of the Gospel.
The Call of God to win the lost is clear. World Evangelism Fellowship is answering that Call and we would like to extend an invitation to you to join us. This is not a Denomination, and we pray it never will be. It is, however, a fellowship of Ministers and Churches united in their efforts to reach the world for Jesus Christ.
Prayerfully look over this material and consider whether you should join a team with the Call to disciple Believers and evangelize the lost.
How can World Evangelism Fellowship Reach the World?
Probably few organizations on Earth are as experienced and well-equipped to reach the entire planet as is World Evangelism Fellowship. The following vehicles needed to accomplish this monumental task are already in operation.
Television - The Gospel presented over television is the single most effective means of bringing the Message of Christ to millions of people. With television you can reach more people per dollar spent than by any other means. The television efforts of World Evangelism Fellowship are directed toward having the Jimmy Swaggart Telecast aired regularly all across the face of the globe. Every week thousands of letters are received in our office that testify to the tremendous impact this program has for the Work of God.
Jimmy Swaggart Bible College - The goal of JSBC is to train tomorrow's Preachers, Missionaries, and Christian Workers in an environment that is Spirit-filled and Spirit-led. Some of the finest professors in the world are pouring their lives into the students at JSBC every day, and it shows. The JSBC approach is a hands-on approach -- one that equips our graduates with knowledge and experience . . . not just theory. The modern facilities that house JSBC include two multistory dormitories, a complete health and fitness facility, and a complement of associated classrooms.
