Every laymen should tell everyone within their sphere of life about Jesus as occasions arise.

This need not be in a preaching format and actually street preaching in the US is largely ineffective.

Laymen should be encouraged to tell their existing webs of relationships about Jesus and to present a solid witness to win those closest to them. That is how the early church grew, through the active involvement of the layman in lay witness as they performed acts of mercy and charity and told their immediate family webs about the Saviour.


On the PB you will have some stress that they do not believe in an "every member ministry." I am not stressing this. Every member of the body of Christ has a (little m) ministry, and are to faithfully glorify God in their sphere. However, everyone is not called to preach, though all are called to witness.


Laymen can do a lot for the church. They are not merely called to sit and listen. The spheres may be different, but all of the body of Christ are active in the stations that God has given them.
