Evangelism – to bring (declare or show) the good news of Jesus Christ.
“The harvest is plentiful, but the workers are few. Ask the Lord of the harvest, therefore, to send out workers into his harvest field.” – Luke 10:2
1 Corinthians 9:19-23… Though I am free and belong to no one, I have made myself a slave to everyone, to win as many as possible.
Our personal rights and preferences must be put aside for the sake of evangelism.
20 To the Jews I became like a Jew, to win the Jews. To those under the law I became like one under the law (though I myself am not under the law), so as to win those under the law. 21 To those not having the law I became like one not having the law (though I am not free from God’s law but am under Christ’s law), so as to win those not having the law. 22 To the weak I became weak, to win the weak. I have become all things to all people so that by all possible means I might save some.
23 I do all this for the sake of the gospel, that I may share in its blessings.
- Pray.
- Build, not burn bridges.
- Start with love, not truth.
- Seek dialogue, not a monologue.
- Avoid Christianese.
- Slow down.
Sharing starts with seeing.
- Be patient, yet persistent.
