Life Change Challenge Case Statement

Paul Bubar: 1933 - 2020 Known for his contagious enthusiasm to share Christ, Paul Bubar left an indelible mark on the ministry of Word of Life.

A Gospel Advancing Initiative Word of Life’s passion centers on reaching people with the Gospel. In fact, with God’s blessing and the efforts of our worldwide team, more than 100,000 people made salvation decisions in 2019. If there ever was a time in history to prepare and mobilize students to share the Gospel, the time is now. This generation craves reality and hope. We know that life change only occurs through a personal relationship with Jesus. While outreach may look a bit different after COVID-19, we have set a goal to present the Gospel to an additional one million people worldwide over the next year. To help accomplish this vision, we are launching the BUBAR MEMORIAL EVANGELISM FUND in honor of Paul Bubar, whose heart was passionate about sharing this Good News (see sidebar) . Teaming up with Word of Life Bible Institute students on 16 campuses and young people engaged in numerous events and outreach activities worldwide, we are praying and positioning to make this next year one of even greater impact in reaching this generation for Christ by leveraging:

Paul pioneered Local Church Ministries in

1959 and for many years influenced thousands of young people to receive Christ and to grow in their walk with the Lord. He also led the International

Ministries Division and the conference

ministry at The Lodge. In recent years he served joyfully as a ministry representative, engaged in evangelism and encouraging pastors and business leaders to reach their communities and peers with the Gospel.

• Internet platforms and social media channels for personal testimonies and evangelistic presentations and posts. • Expanded evangelistic outreach using technology in multiple language formats that allows for online discussions, phone calling and text messaging.

“. . . he that winneth souls is wise.“

• Open Air initiatives with staff, students and local churches.

• Expanded evangelism training enabling students to engage in Gospel conversations with their peers.
