Keys to Successful Evangelism I. What are some of the keys to successful evangelism on the local church level? The following are some important keys for pastors and leaders that will help to keep the local church evangelistic. A. Keep evangelism in the forefront of the church. B. Sow seeds of evangelism in the hearts of the members continually.

C. Do church in a way that makes it easy for the lost to come. This means making it easy for people to interface with the church and the message of the church. Each church should seek to be seeker-sensitive and user-friendly without compromising its message or spiritual DNA. 1. Friendliness of the people. 2. Clear signage inside and outside of the church building.

3. Cheerful service attendants from the parking lot to the altar. 4. Language, terminology and services that are relevant to all. D. Make sure that hungry people are given an opportunity to respond. This means having regular altar calls with trained altar workers.

E. Develop an assimilation process that is simple but effective. This means the church must be mobilized to reach and follow up on interested parties. 1. Visitor Packets and Information Cards 2. Touch Cards 3. Effective Altar Workers 4. Immediate Follow-up (prayer and materials)

5. Turning points Class 6. City Care Calling 7. Encounters 8. Regular Water Baptisms 9. Small Groups 10. Partnership Class 11. Partnership Interviews 12. School of Ministry

II. What are some of the keys to successful evangelism on the personal level? As an individual believer it is also important to keep the fires of evangelism burning in our hearts. This means that each believer must…

A. Approach the lost in a biblical way (Acts 8:26-40). This means that we must… 1. Be sensitive to the Spirit willing to move against reason and comfort. 2. Be available to anyone. 3. Be willing to take the initiative in conversation (See Appendix A: Engaging the Lost in Conversation).

4. Be tactful and listen carefully to their responses. 5. Be clear in your message and presentation of the Gospel. 6. Be gentle but decisive as you lead them to a point of decision. 7. Be prepared to follow up on those who respond.

B. Approach the lost with a positive belief system. This means that we must… 1. Believe in the power of the Gospel message (Rom. 1:16; I Cor. 1:18). 2. Believe in the seed itself (Mark 4:26:29; I Peter 1:23). 3. Believe in God’s laws of sowing and reaping.

a. There is no harvest without sowing (Eccl.1l:4). b. Sowing requires hard work (Ps. 126:5-6). c. The more you sow the more you reap (II Cor. 9:6). d. Eventually the sown seed will produce (Gal. 6:6-10). e. The one who sows is not always the one who reaps (John 4:36-38).

4. Believe that God will work with you (John 6:37; Mark 16:20; Acts 16:14). 5. Believe God to lead you to the ripe harvest (John 4:35). 6. Believe that God will fill your mouth with His words (Ps. 81:10; Ex. 4:12).

7. Believe that unbelievers want to be saved. There are certain common things for which everyone is searching. a. Everyone is looking for a sense of purpose or significance. b. Everyone is interested in personal peace. c. Everyone is searching for meaningful uplifting relationships.

d. Everyone deals with issues of guilt and broken relationships. e. Everyone is concerned or even fearful about what happens after death. f. Everyone is hungry for a spiritual encounter with their creator.
