#10 – You don’t have to be forced into a schedule
If you want to reach your destination on a bus, you have to board at a certain place, and not later than a preset time. With evangelism, the ‘schedule’ changes with every encounter. That’s because everyone you meet will be at a different place on their route toward God. On a bus line, that kind of ‘uncertainty’ would be unnerving, but with evangelism, at least for me, its part of what makes it so exciting.
Grace Reminders (ways of remembering how God has changed us since we became Christians) can help us see opportunities to introduce the forgiveness found in Christ with our friends. Are you being reminded of God’s grace?
Learn more about Grace Reminders, adopt one for yourself (or create your own), and start seeing possibilities to share that were there all the time.
We are enrolled in Evangelism 101 at the University of Love and Good Deeds. Knowing exactly what each day’s curriculum should include, it is not uncommon for God to call on one of His many teaching assistants (TAs), to share what He wants you and I to learn. God’s TA’s (who can be any person He chooses) have been busy through the years, providing me with Good News clues for sharing the gospel with those I love. Here are some of them…
We all need to listen to the TA’s in our lives and learn from them. As we do, and become more proficient at speaking the truth in love, our words will be seasoned with the right amount of salt; salt that God might use to make the listener thirst for Living Water.
It’s official! Our new, more focused mission statement is ready to direct our ministry’s evangelism efforts. Now we want ideas for short, memorable, slogans, and that’s where you come in. Submit a saying for one of the three aspects of our mission, send separate ideas for each of them, or be really creative and come up with one that encompasses all three components. Ready to get started? Here are the three aspects of our mission.
If you submit an idea, please let us know which aspect your slogan is for. Everyone who supports us by submitting a slogan, will receive a free evangelism related gift, and if you’re entry is a winner, you’ll also receive 2 hours of free evangelism coaching.
NOTE: Want to get your creative juices flowing? Visit our Facebook page to view the suggestions people make there. And feel free to ‘like’ us yourself and add your own contest ideas.
You’re not at the same place spiritually as anyone else, and although God knows where that place is, we don’t. So, we’re trusting him to convey the piece of wisdom he wants you to have regarding how to share your faith. Is that exciting or what?
Jesus, understanding the need for evangelism training, appointed and empowered evangelists, along with others in the church, “to prepare God’s people for works of service, so that the body of Christ may be built up.” Got Training?
If you’re fixing a sink, you either know which tools you’ll need or you don’t. If it’s the latter, you can do some research or ask someone for help. But what about the tools necessary for sharing the gospel?
In case your evangelism tool box is a little empty, we thought we’d pass on some helpful implements that we think you should consider stocking.
We went to the Tool Idea Store (aka the Internet) to see what might be helpful for delivering the message of salvation. Here are a couple we found.
Do you have a favorite tool that you use when sharing the Good News? If so, we’d love to hear it. Who knows, we might even want to use it the next time we get the privilege of sharing God’s plan of redemption.
Jesus touched and healed those who hadn’t felt human hands in years, faced the anger of religious self-righteousness, and abandoned his own grave in a show of his power and contempt for death. That’s the Savior we share!
