The Gospel Sense of the Field Camp

Acts 13:1-4 / While they were worshiping the Lord and fasting, the Holy Spirit said, "Set apart for me Barnabas and Saul for the work to which I have called them." (2)

If it's a camp where you can enjoy the Gospel sense of the field, then that becomes very important. Words like "upper room," "synagogue and marketplace," and "healing" are the types of evangelism which are in the Bible. First, "upper room" is reviving your hidden self and the individual. For that to take place, the most important factor is asking, "How is the Word being held?" Second, "synagogue and marketplace" refer to the fields that are everywhere, yet hidden. Paul utilized everything that was in the field. Above all, nobody could stop the "healing" of those who were sick. These three were the evangelism movements of the Early Church.

1. The Upper Room and Your Concentration
What must you concentrate on? On Calvary, Jesus said, "It is finished." (John 19:30) After He resurrected, He instructed His disciples to go and make disciples of all nations and to go to all creation. (Matthew 28:16~20 and Mark 16:15~20) Moreover, He called the disciples to the Mt. of Olives and gave them messages. (Acts 1:1-8) Afterward, the disciples of the Early Church held onto this covenant, gathered, and had concentration. (Acts 1:14) As a result, they received great answers. (Acts 2:1-47) All these works took place in an "upper room," that is, in the home.

2. Synagogue, Marketplace, and Field Concentration
If you look in Acts 13:1-4, 16:6~10, and 19:1~7, you can see that Paul's team completely focused on the field before evangelizing. That was done because they had seen the synagogue and marketplace which were hidden fields.

3. Healing and Evangelism Concentration
Afterward, works of healing took place in Acts 13:5~12, 16:16~18, and 19:8~20. There wasn't any other answer besides healing.

Paul's team considered the "synagogue" (Acts 17:1, 18:4, & 19:8) as the conclusion. Similarly, just like the Early Church and Paul's team, you must utilize the three concentration (Personal, Field, & Evangelism) strategies. Moreover, just as it is in the Bible, you must plow into the upper room; (home) synagogue and marketplaces; and use healing strategies. That's why missions in country "C" must be done biblically. This is God's will.

[Covenantal Prayer] Dear God, may Remnants throughout the nation and the world raise disciples to really save the world. In Jesus Christ's name, I pray. Amen.
