Using Tracts for Evangelism

May 5, 2018 by EvangelismCoach

A mother asked about using tracts for personal evangelism. Tracts may not always be useful in every context, but using tracts for evangelism can be a helpful conversation starter, a great seed planter, and the Holy Spirit can use it much later than the day the person received it.

Is it ever too soon to share the gospel?

May 25, 2013 by EvangelismCoach

When I talk with some other evangelism trainers, we often encounter the question How soon do we need to share the gospel with some one? Because we believe in the radical importance of a person’s salvation, we want them to know now. But we don’t want to be a stubborn jerk or obnoxiously repulsive evangelist. …

I finished reading Evangelism in the New testament …

Talk about Jesus without Freaking Out

What is the gospel? An ex-Christian friend of mine turned to me and said “Chris, what is the gospel?” Excitement bubbled up within me.  I’m an evangelist and this conversation was near and dear to my heart.  However, I got too excited.
