My wife relates the following story, I’ve intentionally left the details vague.
She’s providing English tutoring a woman from an Asian Country.
This woman is married to a diplomat who works for their nation’s embassy.
This woman comes from a Buddist background, but doesn’t practice any of her religion of her youth.
While tutoring, the conversation turns to occupation. [...]
Lab Time
Friday afternoon during the Mt. Vernon Evangelism Dunamis, we had a lab time or a live practicum, based on the Phillip and Ethiopian Eunuch story.
We gathered as a group, prayed, and then dismissed to visit various places in Mount Vernon as we felt led or guessed at a leading.
The goal was to have [...]
I was cleaning out my file cabinet this week (isn’t that fun?).
Actually, I found a lot of stuff that I had forgotten I had, and of course, lots of useless junk that went straight to the shredder.
A clipped article about Microsoft Certification from 1993?
How about a marriage inventory?
Building permits from a construction renovation project [...]
Our primary model in our seminars for doing personal evangelism is Phillip and the Ethiopian Eunuch.
The basic premise:
When God "underlined" the eunuch for Phillip, (with "Go stand next to THAT chariot"), Phillip obeyed and found a spiritually thirsty person. Phillip then began a conversation that lead to the eunuch coming to faith.
Our model is [...]
I’ve just wrapped up an Evangelism Conference at Calvary Presbyterian Church, Enfield CT, on Listening Evangelism, Evangelism in the Power of the Holy Spirit.
What a great group of people!
Several churches, different denominations, gathering to learn about our approach to Evangelism.
Congregational, Episcopal, Presbyterian, Christian Missionary Alliance, were to name a few of the different streams in [...]
Yesterday, I met with fellow blogger Jimmy Kinnaird here in Atlanta to discuss personal evangelism. We had a great meeting at Starbucks, and it was awesome putting a real face on a real person that I first met because of our blogging interest on personal evangelism.
An idea we kicked around is about an evangelism coaching [...]
It’s always a privilege to do Evangelism Training Seminars in local churches over the course of a couple of days and to watch churches get excited about doing evangelism. It’s our mission to help you find your evangelism passion and provide training to help you express your faith.
It’s Sunday and I sit in the Branson airport, [...]
I’m not the first to point this out, but I’ve heard the expression:
“A rising tide lifts all boats.”
Perhaps you’ve heard it too. Perhaps it’s a cliche that is beyond trendy.
But, when one person is excited about evangelism, and doing it, sharing their experiences, and reflections, other people begin to get the idea that perhaps “I [...]
In some of our weekend Evangelism Training Seminars, we often can build in a practical exercise in personal evangelism, a “lab time,” where people can leave the retreat setting and venture out to do evangelism in the style that we teach. It is modeled after Phillip and the Ethiopian Eunuch.
The basic premise is that we ask God [...]
I attended a conference nearly 10 years ago by Mark Miller that gave away these secrets to Evangelism Training.
Challenge the conventional wisdom — Evangelism is a process not an event (see: Evangelism: Process or Event?), so one size doesn’t fit every context.
Make Evangelism Personal — Who do you know that does not know Jesus Christ? [...]
Here is an outreach idea that a church is doing, in response to their local situation:
Church offers free coffee on Mondays.
The idea is to provide a gathering spot, a relational context where evangelism can naturally happen. Visitors do get a card with church information.
While not strictly evangelism as we define it here, it is one [...]
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 [...]
I came across an entry at www.jumpstartchurch.com that has a great exercise, and it is similar to one we use in our workshops. Try it some time. Quoted directly.
Assignment for today: Go to the nearest mall. If the nearest mall is more than a 30 minute drive from your church, then send me an email [...]
