Engage International has a threefold mission of evangelism undergirded by apologetics, discipleship and equipping the church to influence culture.
reaching the individual with the Gospel of Jesus Christ through evangelistic events by articulating its truth and beauty in a thoughtful, persuasive and winsome manner.
At the intersection of faith and reason, we seek to address cultural issues and challenge prevailing philosophies from a biblical standpoint.
We accomplish this through Pre-evangelistic and Evangelistic Events.
connecting the newly evangelized to a Church community, networking and training mature Christians to disciple new believers.
Our ultimate goal is to disciple Christians in the whole counsel of God so that they grow in personal relationship with God, in their understanding of Scripture and in personal sanctification.
strengthening the Church by equipping Christians to meaningfully engage culture and be effective witnesses in their spheres of influence.
We accomplish this by providing apologetics training.
On Culture: Equipping the saints to engage culture for the glory of God by seeking to understand its history, practices, beliefs, aspirations and values so that the Christian can winsomely articulate the truth and beauty of the Gospel.
On Scripture: Equipping Christians in the whole counsel of God, showing how the Christian story makes best sense of our human condition, moral depravity, and aspirations.
WHY WE DO WHAT WE DO
A HURTING WORLD
As we look around, we see political, social, economic and racial conflict. Amidst the pain and suffering we see humanity in rebellion, alienated from God, seeking answers, searching in the dark, and in the words of Jesus, sheep without a shepherd. The Number of religious ‘nones’ – those who have no religious affiliation – has grown by nearly 30 million over the past decade. Teens of today are twice as likely to identify as atheist than any other generation before them. In the U.S. alone, suicide and unintentional injuries (primarily from drug overdoses) amount to 45% of deaths for those under the age of 44. Suicide is among the leading causes of death and, among young people, the leading cause of death in many Asian countries.
THE GOSPEL ALONE
The Gospel alone can infuse hope into our hopeless world. Christ alone can bring healing, restoration, reconciliation and transformation. And as disciples of Christ, we must meaningfully engage culture and faithfully proclaim the Gospel. Often, in our postmodern world where reason takes a back seat in our public debates; morality is questioned and truth is relativized. Engage International exists to reach people with the Gospel, train Christians to winsomely share their faith, and equip the church to influence culture. We seek to not only defend and commend the Gospel of Christ but to also drive the cultural conversation in the public square.
Engage International seeks to come alongside the church in its mission to reach people with the gospel and help believers grow in their understanding of God: in his love and his ways.
