The Crown of Rejoicing Program (C.O.R.P.) is a spiritual program that aims to encourage and empower Christians to share their faith with others. It is based on the biblical teaching that says, “For what is our hope, or joy, or crown of rejoicing? Are not even ye in the presence of our Lord Jesus Christ at his coming?” (1 Thessalonians 2:19, KJV).
The Crown of Rejoicing Program
I learned about this program from Randy Edwards, professor of Andersonville Theological Seminary in the Personal Evangelism class.
In my notes I remember Edwards saying around 95% of church members have never led anyone to the Lord. That means only 5% of the church is soul winning.
The C.O.R.P. program is designed to equip Christians with the tools and resources they need to effectively witness to people about their faith. It encourages Christians to share the gospel with others, to invite them to church, and to engage in evangelistic activities. The program is open to anyone who is interested in sharing their faith and making a positive impact on the world.
The Crown of Rejoicing Program is based on 1 Thessalonians 2:19-20, which reads, “For what is our hope, or joy, or crown of rejoicing? Are not even ye in the presence of our Lord Jesus Christ at his coming? For ye are our glory and joy.” This passage speaks to the joy and satisfaction that comes from leading someone to Christ.
The Crown of Rejoicing Program is a simple but powerful approach to evangelism. It involves identifying people who need to hear the gospel and committing to pray for them and share the good news with them. This can be done in a variety of ways, such as through personal conversations, social media, or evangelistic events.
The program encourages Christians to focus on building relationships with people and sharing the love of Christ in a natural, authentic way. It emphasizes the importance of being intentional about evangelism and recognizing the eternal significance of every person’s soul.
One of the key components of the Crown of Rejoicing Program is education. The program provides resources, training, and guidance to help Christians become more effective witnesses. It teaches Christians how to share their faith in a way that is clear, concise, and relevant. It also provides guidance on how to address common objections to the Christian faith and how to answer difficult questions.
Another key component of the program is community. The program encourages Christians to come together and support one another as they seek to share their faith. It provides opportunities for Christians to connect with one another, to share their experiences, and to encourage one another in their faith.
The Crown of Rejoicing Program is based on the belief that sharing one’s faith is an important part of the Christian life. It is a way of showing God’s love to others and of helping them find hope and meaning in their lives. The program encourages Christians to be bold in their witness and to trust in God’s guidance as they share their faith.

The Red & Black Ant Analogy — Understanding the True Enemy — In the natural world, there’s a fascinating phenomenon involving ants. If you place 100 black ants and 100 red ants in a jar, they coexist peacefully. However, if the jar is shaken, chaos ensues. The ants, now agitated, begin to attack each other, perceiving their fellow jar-mates as the enemy. This behavior provides a poignant metaphor for human society, where often the true adversary is not the one who appears different from us, but rather the one who incites division.
