Carrying the Gospel With Power, Love, and Compassion<\/strong><\/p>\n

The Evangelism & Outreach Ministry is the heartbeat of our Acts 1:8 mandate. At Sozo Church of God, we believe that the message of Jesus must go beyond the pulpit and into the streets, homes, communities, and nations.
We are called to share the Gospel boldly, serve with compassion, and impact lives wherever God sends us.<\/p>\n

This ministry exists to take the fire of revival outside the church walls and into the world.<\/p>\n

Our Mandate<\/strong><\/h2>\n

We follow the Great Commission with unwavering commitment\u2014
to preach the Gospel, make disciples, bring hope, and demonstrate the love of Christ in practical ways.<\/p>\n

Our mission is to raise believers who are equipped and confident to minister salvation, healing, deliverance, restoration, and the power of the Holy Spirit to all people.<\/p>\n

We go where the need is, and where God leads.<\/p>\n

Our Vision<\/strong><\/h2>\n

To be a movement of Spirit-filled believers who transform cities, communities, and nations through evangelism, compassion, discipleship, and missions.<\/p>\n
