Here is a great article about Jesus doing evangelism from Baptist Press. No formulas, no methodologies, and never a “sinner’s prayer.” Jesus spoke to all kinds of people, and treated each as a real person.
Speaking of conversations, Darrell Davis points out how many conversations that Jesus had.
Out of 132 contacts that Jesus had with people recorded in the New Testament, 6 were in the temple, 4 were in the synagogue, and 122 were out in the mainstream of life. (Adapted from Why Christians Sin, by J.K Johnson, Discovery House, 1992)
As evangelists, we need to make sure that we are regularly engaging people outside of the church. Most of us freely admit that after being a Christian for a few years, we find our social circles have changed to mostly Christians.
Be Blessed. . .. .

I never thought about being surrounded by Christians until I started blogging…trying to reach out even online is sometimes tough. I’m “fortunate” to be around many non-believers everyday…I just have to work at reaching out!
Rindy,
All of us have to work at reaching out to non-believers. I am an evangelist and it is difficult for me to do…We tend to insulate ourselves from non-believers therefore isolating ourselves from lost people. Don’t give up…
Rindy:
Glad to see you over here. I visit your weblog every now and then. I’d love to see more information from Just Walk Across the Room and to hear some more of your conversational encounters.
Darrel:
Glad to see you around here. Thanks for the info you let me link to about the number of “unchurched” contacts that Jesus had.
