14 Helpful Questions for the Evangelist

September 17, 2007 by EvangelismCoach

I like to use questions in my evangelism conversations with people. Questions help them think about matters of faith. Questions help draw people into conversations. Questions can help further a conversation along rather than me making declarations all the time.

The church and personal evangelism

September 12, 2007 by EvangelismCoach

Today I read a post at 9 Marks about the corporate role of the church and its support of personal evangelism.

September 9, 2007 by EvangelismCoach

What are we communicating in our evangelism conversations?

June 15, 2007 by EvangelismCoach

Question: Why Do Atheists Object to Evangelism & Proselytization? This is an interesting article on an atheist oriented site that expresses how some evangelistic “sharing” comes across to the person we are talking to. The basic contention is that we Christians treat the other person as a “project” or “object.” We form “strategic relationships” with …

Dot on a Watch

June 3, 2007 by EvangelismCoach

Over the weekend, we held a yard sale — selling off some our posessions (which is why it was a quiet posting week for me). We even let people know our house is for sale, though not at a yard sale price. We had a lot of people coming to our house, looking over stuff …

Conversion Stories from the NT – Paul

April 18, 2007 by EvangelismCoach

Sometimes conversions are just unbelievable.

They “fall from heaven” so to speak.

There is no evangelist, no gospel presentation, no explanation of the law, it just happens – God does all the work.

Two Challenges to Gospel Presentations (Scripts)

February 15, 2007 by EvangelismCoach

As evangelists, we need a “Default setting.” A default setting is a gospel script that we have  mastered so well that it is second nature to use it. A default setting enables us to explain a few points of the gospel clearly when its appropriate.

The power of testimony

January 28, 2007 by EvangelismCoach

I’ve been thinking recently about “the testimony” — your story of conversion. Most of us have one and most of us have done exercises where we write it the testimony of our conversion, revise our testimony for clarity, and shorten our testimony to share it in 5 minutes or less.

God is at work-Do you see it?

January 16, 2007 by EvangelismCoach

The basic premise of Reimagining Evangelism: Inviting Friends on a Spiritual Journey is that God is at work already in the lives of pre-Christians, and our job in evangelism is to participate in that work. The author uses the metaphor of being part of a “detective agency” to explain personal evangelism.
