Faith in Christ comes by hearing the gospel as it is shared by those who have earlier come to Christ (2 Corinthians 5:17). The witness is by anyone who is born-again regardless of their office, gifting, age, gender and status. Salvation of is a gift of God that is freely given to anyone who hears and obeys the gospel. Thus, everyone who has received this gift need to freely share (Matthew 10:5-8). Everyone who has comes is the product from the witnessing of the gospel by other believers. Jesus called the disciples to be fisher-of-men. Thus, as disciples of Christ we are called to be fishers of men through sharing the message of the Kingdom of God which for the forgiveness of sins. The program distinguishes evangelism and evangelism. It clarifies that evangelism is the call for every believer to witness the gospel while Evangelist as a gift and office. While all are called to witness the gospel and therefore under evangelism by sharing the love of God and eternal life that is in Christ Jesus, all are not evangelists. Believers are trained to both witness and defend their faith (1 Peter 3:15; Jude 1:3).<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-ab3957f elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"ab3957f\" data-element_type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-50 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-a857407\" data-id=\"a857407\" data-element_type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-156b3ae elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"156b3ae\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t<h4 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">Module 1: The call for every believer to witness<\/h4>\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-f53257c elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"f53257c\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>(i) Call for every believer to be fisher-of-men;<br \/>(ii) Discipleship model for producing fishers-men;
