HOW TO CARE FOR AND PROTECT NEW CONVERTS

ACTS 2:42

New converts need love and care.
God’s people did 4 things:

1st – Doctrine – the word of God;
2nd – Communion
3rd – Breaking of Bread
4th – Prayer;

THE APOSTLES’ DOCTRINE

New converts must be taught to read the Bible, the books of the church, to listen to God’s music, they must also be taught to live in God’s system.

Word of God = seed

Heart = soil

Mark 4:14

FELLOWSHIP AND BREAKING OF BREAD

It is walking with these people, spending time with them, visiting them, having lunch with them and having coffee with them.

When you practice communion with God and the breaking of bread with the 5/15 list, 2 things happen:

– barriers that people instinctively put up when they hear about the things of God; –
-the devil loses his power over the person, as he comes under the influence of the Holy Spirit, who always works with the evangelist;

PRAYER

There are various types of prayer and not all of them apply to evangelization.

The best prayer to pray for new converts is the Lord’s Prayer and Ephesians.

LIST 5/15

We encourage believers to have a 5/15 list (paper or digital) which consists of keeping track of 5 to 15 people for whom you will fight and accompany until they are converted and make the journey of faith:

-attend church meetings and a family group;
-reading the Bible
-taking the courses;
-be baptised in the waters;
-using the library

PROTECTING NEW CONVERTS

A New Convert is a spiritual baby and is very vulnerable to attacks from various sources.

It is very important to protect New Converts from the devil’s attacks such as:

– Trying to steal the word;
-Tribulation – strange and unexpected things happen when we follow God
– Persecution – mocking, laughing at us for following God;
– Occupying people with the cares of this world;
– Fascinating people with the deceitfulness of riches;

It is important that the older believer intercedes and accompanies the New Converts so that they do not get lost.
