EVANGELISM AND DISCIPLESHIP
VIII. How to Evangelize
A. The Master Plan.
The overall plan of evangelism is to conduct evangelistic training, pray, rely on the
Holy Spirit, go and witness, and leave the results to God.
1. Leaders Must Train People to Evangelize.
Missionaries and pastors should prompt their congregations to evangelize. Leaders set an example by evangelizing. Someone wrote, “Evangelism is more
caught than taught.” In other words, disciples catch onto evangelism by going to evangelize with more experienced witnesses. It is good to learn the basics of evangelism in a classroom, but most evangelistic skill is learned through practice. When an experienced witness evangelizes together with a less experienced disciple, the disciple participates in witnessing when he feels comfortable in doing so. The disciple will learn more with each household visited. In many places, door-to-door personal evangelism produces many converts. In other places, other forms of evangelism maybe more effective.
