God gave us the mandate of spreading his Word when he placed us on earth. It is our duty as Christians to ensure that we let other people know about the word. Churches have always been conducting outreaches as ways of reaching out to people. There are many types of outreaches, and so we will discuss church outreach and its types.

All churches need an outreach program for preaching the word of God. No one church can do all the outreaches by itself. Instead, God blessed us with different gifts that we can excel in as we spread ahs word. There are two broad categories of outreaches that are essential and optional.

There are some outreaches every ministry ought to perform; they are the essential ones. On the other hand, there are those that the Word of God states that should be carried out. One of them is direct evangelism. The Bible says that all church members have to take part in telling their colleagues and other people about Christ.

World missions are essential too. Apart from directly telling your colleagues and friends about his word, God needs us to spread it beyond out home boundaries. He says in the Bible that we should go beyond our local community and go to all corners of the world to spread his word.

The poor and the needy are always despised in our society. As Christians, we should not be among those who despise them rather we should preach to them. When Jesus was describing the kingdom of God to his followers, he told them that helping the least of their brothers is important. Not helping the needy in clothing them, given them shelter and food, could make them miss heaven. When he talked about the least of our brothers, he meant those who are needy.

Children also ought to know about the word of God. In the Bible, Jesus told his disciples to allow the children come to him because they belong to the kingdom of God. Nowadays, most children are left by their parents without being attended to and so the enemy grabs them in their early stages and destroys their life. So we need to minister to children since they are delicate.

The above are the essential ministries. Out of them, other outreaches have been born that each church should find a way to carry them out. Prison ministry is one of them. The people in prison need to know that God still loves and care for them despite their state and that no matter what they did they could still get forgiveness. The disabled and military men also have to get the word. They have to realize that the love of God upon their lives is abundant.

The young people and youth are also vulnerable. They are easy to fall into traps the enemy has set for them. We have to be at the forefront in preventing them from happening through preaching to them. In conclusion, each and every one of us should receive Jesus in our lives in order to tell other about him. It is our mandate, and so we have no excuse.
