Open-air preaching used to be an approach to evangelism characterized by speaking in public places out in the open, generally to crowds of people at a time, using a message, sermon, or speech which spreads the gospel. This method may be fast eroding with time.
Meanwhile, one of the apostles of new approaches to evangelism today, Apostle Johnson Suleman, has demonstrated that, by faith and actions of leadership, there is great hope that people will be impressed with how God affects lives and then turn to God in reality.
With his lifestyle approach to winning souls, the General Overseer of the Auchi, Edo State based Omega Fire Ministries International, regularly attracts God to many by personally demonstrating kindness towards them, thereby giving evangelism clearer meanings and making it more effective than giving mere sermon.
Add to this, the smart dressing cleric has written books that are not just inspirational but which also teach true friendship as well as helping to develop relationships in God’s ways.
Describing this method as “loving someone into the kingdom”, Apostle Suleman is using the approach simply to find a caring and creative ways to evangelize.
Apostle Suleman, not long ago, gave a practical demonstration of benevolence when he gave out five brand new state-of-the-art cars to members of the public. The cars include Lexus Jeep, Honda CRV, Toyota Camry 2.4, Toyota Corolla and Volkswagen Passat. He gave three brand new motorcycles to others while he sank a borehole for the use of his Afobomeh family clan in Auchi. To cap the grace, Apostle Suleman placed people from his clan and outside on scholarship of various disciplines as well as empowering many others for entrepreneurial practices.
Meanwhile, behind most of the man of God’s divine successes is his beloved wife, Dr. Lizzy Suleman, a strongest pillar from the inception who has the rare privilege of sharing in the anointing.
With a ministry of 42 branches spread across Africa and Europe, Apostle Suleman also spread in a very unique way, the Gospel via Celebration TV. The TV channel which was created to take the gospel into the homes, schools, offices and businesses of millions across the nations, has so far achieved a lot in reveal God in His true form as well as restore destinies in millions of homes across the world.
