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.

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.
