The Apostle’s team came to Thessalonica to tell people there the
Gospel. We should not waste time with things that are not really the Gospel
when we reach out to other Nations or places. The whole purpose of outreach is
to tell the people the Gospel in a way that they will understand it. Every
outreach and mission team needs to be prepared to present the Gospel in a form
that the hearers or the audience can understand.
