Missionary Road

A few years ago during a Rockharbor service, I prayed a dangerous prayer, “God give me a burden for the lost.”

This changed the course of the rest of my life. Since then, I’ve not only come across books on evangelism, but resources and people specifically with a similar passion. Specifically, “One Thing You can’t do in Heaven” by Mark Cahill has lit a fire in my belly for the lost and has also given me many practical tools to share my faith. Now that I’ve become equipped and have realized that evangelism is largely missing from the body of Christ as a spiritual discipline, I’ve made it the course of my life to want to equip people to share their faith.

But, this has been a tough journey, full of disappointment and discouragement as I’ve ran into apathy from other believers, lots of excuses about just being called to show christ’s love and “if necessary use words”, and plain heresy that only certain people are called to do “evangelism”.

So, I’m hoping for your help, whomever may read this blog, because God wants to raise up leaders to stand up for His Truth in the Sciptures and the clear call and command for all Christians to both live and speak the Gospel.

About Mark Cahill

Mark Cahill has a business degree from Auburn University, where he was an honorable mention Academic All-American in basketball. After spending a few years in the business world, he surrendered his heart to Jesus Christ and asked God to place him where he could touch as many lives as possible. Within a year, he was teaching school. Although Mark planned to teach for the rest of his life, God moved him from teaching at a Christian high school to devoting a year to full-time evangelism. He then embarked on a speaking career. Mark speaks to over 25,000 people per year at churches, retreats, conferences, camps, etc., equipping and challenging the saved to go out and reach the lost. As one of his students noted, he’s still teaching, but in a much bigger classroom.
His true vocation is witnessing, whether at malls, music and art festivals, beaches, sporting events, bar sections of towns—wherever the lost can be found. Mark is the author of One Thing You Can’t Do in Heaven which has been translated into Russian, Chinese, Spanish, Romanian and is being translated into Nepalese, and One Heartbeat Away. Mark lives in Stone Mountain, Georgia.
