Friday Finds Sept 26 2008

Campus Crusade for Christ puts out a weekly newsletter,  particularly for those ministering on a college campus.  It has practical tips, and planning reminders (such as make sure you are planning now for your fall retreat if you haven’t gotten started).

Here are a few links from this week’s edition:

Shepard’s Fellowship put out a great list of practical ideas for personal evangelism, Lifestyle Evangelism & Your Church, which suggests ideas for pastors to help promote lifestyle evangelism in the local church.

  • Hand out NT to the congregation as giveaways
  • Offer an Evangelism Training Class regularly.
  • Use Christmas programs
  • Model Lifestyle evangelism and preach on it.

Check out this post by Matt Dabs: Outreach and Reputation Risking

It never seemed to bother Jesus if his reputation was at stake when it came to reaching the lost:

- Speaking with adulterous Samaritan women at a well alone.

- Having his feet annointed by a woman with a checkered past.

- Eating with tax collectors and “sinners.”

- Associating with and even healing Gentiles.

- Being crucified because it meant our forgiveness.
