First Time Here? Browse around, particularly check out our current series: Evangelism Scripts. See our popular series on Definition of Evangelism and Hospitality

I have a friend who gave me his personal business card.  On the back, however, was a brief little gospel script.

This might be a useful idea for a person to give away, and makes for a little conversational piece.  Of course, the script is not complete.  It doesn’t explain everything that is contained in the gospel, but not a single script does. 

This little summary gives a person a conversational piece to fill in the blanks, to adapt to the moment’s context.

I have decided that it’s time to launch:

www.evangelismbookstore.com

The store features books on Evangelism and as I figure it out, more product that ties in well (but not Jesus Junk).  Product order and fulfillment is through Amazon.com, so shipping and returns are easy.

Evangelismcoach.org receives a commission from whatever you order.

What was the last book that you read on personal evangelism?  Wasn’t that one of your Evangelism Strategy Goals for 2008?

If you would like the actual Powerpoint version, please contact us.

Download “How Presbyterians Do Evangelism.” (1.2 MB)

Here is the Basic Outline

1.  Personal Faith Sharing — where many feel they are weak.  Some brief information on developing your own testimony, preparing yourself to share God’s story, and a default setting.

2.  Visitor Hospitality — where many feel they can improve.  How does one welcome the visitor that comes into your midst.

You are free to distribute this file as you see fit.

WEB EVANGELISM CONFERENCE VIDEOS NOW ONLINE  (From: Internet Evangelism Coalition)

Seven of the web evangelism seminars from September’s Web Ministry conference are now available to watch online:
http://www.webevangelism.com/index.php?id=100

Maybe the holiday period is a good chance to take time to view some? They were recorded with an innovative system which also displays the PowerPoint or screen content, so you see exactly what the session participants saw. Nearly as good as being there!

These highly recommended sessions cover:

* Reaching Your Community Through A Church Website - how to make a church site reach outsiders
* Evangelism in Second Life - the new virtual world
* The Power of Personal Testimony - important principles
* The Edges of Cyberspace - the potential of the Web to reach the ’second billion’ - mainly non-western internet users who will come online in the next few years
* Evangelism and Mentoring - lessons learned by TruthMedia.com
* Rethinking Internet Evangelism And Online Ministry - looking back and forward
* Hollywood Jesus - outreach based on redemptive parallels in film

There are also audio recordings of some other conference sessions:
