Conversion 4. ___________________________ is the central issue of concern in our mission. Growth 5. ____________________ is the benefit or by product of a church that is focused in its _________________ mission and faithful in its ______________________________ confession concerning Jesus Christ. “Four things characterized evangelism of the church in the book of Acts: 1) the amazing expansion of the churches, 2) the effectiveness of their methods, 3) the power which impelled them was divine and, 4) the ingenious manner in which they evangelized under every kind of hindrance. The modern church most follow the example of the churches in Acts in expansion. The church of our time really has no choice but to expand. When a church in this age, or any age, becomes satisfied with its advancement or blind to it listlessness, it dies. God has put within the church a restless urge to reach out for the people. The degree and manner of expansion may vary, but the church will relentlessly wage forward as long as the life of God is in it.” —Dr. C.E. Autry
