Evangelism Training

5/13/2015

I think we can all agree that one of the most important things we can and should be doing in our Christian walk is sharing the gospel consistently.  It’s important because Christ has commanded us to do so and lost souls are at stake.  I think something else we can all agree on is that we don’t share the gospel as often and as consistently as we should.  Why is this?  The one thing that is potentially most important in our walk is the one thing we fail to do so often.  There are lots of answers we can give to the why.  Fear, discomfort, and lack of contact with the lost are just a few.  I’m convinced though that the main reason we don’t share the gospel is we have never been equipped to do so.  We talk a big game but how often is our talk not backed up because we really don’t know how to begin to share the gospel.

The truth is we cannot allow ourselves to let any excuse get in the way but if there is one that will continue to be a stumbling block it is being ill-equipped.  This Saturday, May 16th from noon to 2pm, I will be doing "Way of the Master" evangelism training.  In two hours I will give you basic tools that will equip you for a lifelong commitment to sharing the gospel faithfully.  So often all it takes to get someone actively sharing the gospel is showing them how.  Way of the Master is a non-confrontational way of sharing the gospel with anyone, anywhere.  You can use it to share with your children and you can use it to share with a complete stranger in the grocery store.  It is a very practical, yet biblical way of presenting the gospel.

I challenge everyone to make this a priority.  There are a lot of things that we can spend two hours doing on a Saturday afternoon but nothing more important than this.  And we are providing lunch.  So if you consider that you’re going to take an hour to eat lunch on any given Saturday anyway, I’m really just asking for an hour of your day.  Another advantage of attending this training is it will prepare you for other outreach efforts we have coming up this year.  Neighborhood canvassing in August and the Midlothian Fall Festival in October are just a couple of great opportunities for you to get involved in outreach.  The training on May16th will be a great place to prepare for these efforts.  There is a signup sheet in the foyer so sign up today.

Will you be a part of reaching Midlothian with the gospel?  Don’t be content sitting on the sidelines of evangelism.  The harvest is plentiful, but the laborers are few.

In Christ,

Nathan
