The plain, undiluted Gospel of Jesus needs to be told, and it is the most important decision that one can ever make. In STARTING THE JOURNEY readers will discover that God loves them and has a perfect plan of salvation through Jesus Christ. In a simple and conversational style Angus Buchan explains the problem of sin and God’s plan of restoring our relationship with Him. Angus discusses how to go about living the Christian life once a person has taken the first step toward salvation. STARTING THE JOURNEY is the perfect tool for evangelism and focuses on: • Salvation – What it means to know Jesus Christ as personal Lord and Savior • Growing in God – How to grow in your walk with God • The Great Commission – How to share the Good News with others. Includes a list of Scripture verses to memorize and a handy “where to find it in the Bible” reference. As a believer it is important to share this life-changing news with others and STARTING THE JOURNEY will help every believer to answer the call.
Jill and I found Jesus as our personal Lord and Saviour on the 18th of February 1979, just two years after settling in Greytown, Kwa-Zulu Natal Midlands, South Africa. Originally from Zambia, we bought a piece of land on which we planned to farm crops and livestock. We had very little to start with but even as brand new Christians, we were content with our farm, which we later called SHALOM.
In 1980, the Lord gave us a vision - very simply and clearly, through His Word. We believed our responsibility to be the following:
The Great Commission - Mark 16:15
Caring for Orphans and Widows - James 1:27
Equipping Saints for the Work of Ministry - Matthew 28:20
Everything undertaken at Shalom embraces this threefold vision and Shalom has become home to a community of families and believers who live and work as a team.
