Out of the overflow of the heart the mouth speaks (Matthew 12:34).
Faith comes by hearing when what is heard is the message of Christ (Romans 10:17).
The Lord gave the word, and great was the company of the proclaimers (Psalm 68:11).
Let the message about Christ dwell among you richly as you teach and admonish one another with all wisdom (Colossians 3:16).
So, what is a CAST?
Back in the heyday of DeMille-type Hollywood blockbusters, film trailers promised “a cast of thousands.” This tool, on the other hand, is about raising up “thousands of CASTs” planted in congregations across our land. This endeavor, however, is more exciting—and more dynamic—than Ben Hur or The Ten Commandments ever were! CASTs play a strategic role in the Christ awakening movements emerging across our land.
A CAST—Christ Awakening Servant Teams— consists of disciples who have a burning passion to know and live in Jesus for ALL he is and then to invite fellow believers to join them in the pursuit of knowing more of his fullness as God’s reigning Son. Tactfully and lovingly, CAST members seek to increase the focus among Christians on the glory of Christ. They do this, primarily, by speaking about him during everyday conversations, especially on Sundays, to help deepen others’ love for Jesus as Redeemer and King. We might say a CAST serves by casting. It casts a larger vision of God’s Son among God’s people in all types of ordinary communications. Quite simply, a CAST ministry comes down to this:
Connecting Christians more fully to the person of Christ
by increasing their conversations about the supremacy of Christ—
until an awakening to Christ
spills out of our churches to overtake our nation.
