Evangelism...

Evangelism: David Wheeler

"Evangelism is much more than giving the gospel message, it's giving them your lives."

We have to have empathy when talking to the lost.

To Evangelize we need to have 1)Information of the Gospel and 2) The Gospel lived out in our lives(Don't say one thing and do another).

People will NOT believe the truth until they first see the truth consistantly demonstrated through us.

"The only stumbling block for the people coming to Christ should be the Cross, not us."

Ways to easily open the doors to Evangelize:
Buy the person behind you in Starbucks their drink order.
-God Gives you money to give to His people!
-Blessings in disguise
At a sit down resturaunt tell the waitress your about to pray and ask her/him if she/he needs prayer for anything.
-When doing this kind of out reach, they will typically ask, "why?"
-Then you tell them your a Christian and ask them to, "tell you their story."
Make a card that says, "Just because we care," on the front and on the back your church's name and website. Then go through a drive-thru and buy the person's food behind you and tell the cashier to give them that card.

Evangelism is kind of just taking it upon yourself to talk about your faith to anyone and everyone.

What to do:
Be humble and do acts of kindness for others.
Be willing to spend your time to help, and guide the unsaved to Christ.

Them actually accepting Christ won't always happen when your talking to them. It could take them a few days.

"You can never divorce Jesus from the message of who Jesus was."

Mark 10!
Pray for God to allow you to have an opportunity to Evagnelize each day.
GO LOOK FOR WAS TO SERVE!!

If you want a way to Evangelize come to me and ask, because there is another way that I would love to share with you!
