Why Friendship Evangelism?

Friendship evangelism is an unstructured, informal conversational approach to sharing faith in the context of everyday life.

The PRIMARY way to reach unchurched people is through PERSONAL RELATIONSHIPS

We are not all evangelists, but we are all called to be witnesses. Unfounded excuse #1 “My gift is not evangelism” We are not all evangelists, but we are all called to be witnesses.

Friendship evangelism is Unfounded excuse #2 “I’m too shy to talk about religion.” Friendship evangelism is Simply being a good friend Responding to people you already know Not about aggressive behavior

Friendship evangelism is Unfounded excuse #3 “I don’t really know what to do.” Friendship evangelism is NOT about memorizing a little speech NOT about giving a Bible study A framework to see everyday relationship in the framework of the grace of Jesus Christ

Who contacted you about becoming a Christian and who was that person to you? Church of Christ research Still active – a friend Inactive – a religious “salesperson” Never converted – a religious “teacher”
