The Reluctant Evangelist by Dave Kachele Pdf

The call of every Christian is to share the Gospel of Jesus Christ with those around them, the Great Commission. Yet, having a reluctance to witness to others is a common trait among Christians everywhere for various reasons. In the new non-fiction book, THE RELUCTANT EVANGELIST: Embrace Your Gifts and Fulfill God's Purpose, author Dave Kachele addresses the inner struggles that prevent believers from sharing the Gospel with confidence and peace. The book is organized as a 50-Day Journey for individuals and/or groups with the purposes of deepening relationships with God, understanding how God made each of us, and helping Christians to use their own gifts and personalities to share the Gospel when God opens doors to do so. "Since coming to know the Lord in 1974, He has given me a heart to share the Gospel, make disciples, and teach others to do the same. Win and Grow Ministries, with THE RELUCTANT EVANGELIST: Embrace Your Gifts and Fulfill God's Purpose, is designed to inspire, encourage, and equip ALL Christians to share their faith confidently with their own God-given spiritual gifts, personalities, and passion." Dave Kachele is an ordained minister with the Association of Evangelical Gospel Assemblies (AEGA).

The Reluctant Evangelist by Richard Coekin Pdf

Learn from Jonah how to be an effective evangelist Jonah is famous for being a reluctant evangelist. But God had other plans! If we're honest, we are also often very reluctant when it comes to telling others about Jesus. We can learn from God's dealings with Jonah about how to be effective for the Lord, whom we love and want to serve. We can move from can't and don't to can and do. Like Jonah we need learn to trust his awesome power (chapter 1), experience his sovereign grace (chapter 2), fear his coming judgment (chapter 3) and share his gut-wrenching compassion (chapter 4). All this is perfectly revealed in Jesus, the divine Evangelist, and as we look to him and as the Holy Spirit fills our hearts with his evangelistic compassion, our hearts will sing with the melodic line of Jonah, “Salvation comes from the LORD” (Jonah 2 v 11) and our lives will erupt with the evangelistic enterprise that our cities so desperately need.

The Heart of Evangelism by Jerram Barrs Pdf

All Christians are called. Called to love God with all that we are. Called to serve Him. Called to reach out to the lost. However, if we are honest, the majority of us would admit that we find this last calling the most difficult. While we gladly support the evangelistic ministries of others, many of us feel discouraged by our own attempts at witnessing because our memorized approaches don't seem to work. This biblical study of evangelism gracefully reminds us that the New Testament model of witnessing is not a one-size-fits-all methodology. With compassion for the lost filling every page, Jerram Barrs shows the variety of approaches used in the New Testament-where the same uncompromised Gospel was packaged as differently as the audience-and calls you to follow its example. You can learn to witness comfortably in your particular circumstances so that sharing Christ doesn't feel like a chore. And as you watch God work in the lives of others and see the great blessings He brings, you'll discover what a privilege it is to live out the heart of evangelism: truly loving others to Christ.

Mere Evangelism by Randy Newman Pdf

Let C.S. Lewis inspire and equip you to share your faith. Evangelism is an extraordinary task; it’s what God uses to bring people from death to life. But it has always been difficult. C.S. Lewis was used by God in the conversions of countless people, from friends and acquaintances in his own lifetime to modern-day readers of books such as The Chronicles of Narnia and Mere Christianity (the most influential Christian book of the 20th century). As Tim Keller comments, "C.S. Lewis was incredibly skilled at getting Christianity across in a way that’s powerful to thoughtful people." So, if we want help with evangelism, there is much we can learn from the clarity and imagination of this hugely influential Christian writer. You may feel inadequate to the task; after all, there is only one C.S. Lewis. But evangelist Randy Newman skillfully helps us to apply the methods Lewis used (storytelling, humor, imagery and more) in our own conversations. You will be equipped to talk about your faith and engage with unbelievers wisely, whatever their attitude towards the Christian faith.

The Reluctant Witness by Don Everts Pdf

New research finds that Christians are less involved in spiritual conversations today than we were twenty-five years ago. As society has changed, it seems we have become more uncomfortable talking with people about our faith. We are reluctant conversationalists. The reality is that many of our churches and communities are shrinking instead of growing. What can we do about this? Don Everts, himself a reluctant witness, grew up assuming that spiritual conversations are always painful and awkward. But after falling into one spiritual conversation after another, he was surprised to discover that they aren't. Don's surprising—and sometimes embarrassing—stories affirm what Scripture and the latest research reveal: spiritual conversations can actually be a delight. Unpacking what God's Word says about spiritual conversations and digging into the habits of eager conversationalists, Everts describes what we can learn from Christians who are still talking about their faith. With original research from the Barna Group and Lutheran Hour Ministries on spiritual conversations in the digital age, this book offers fresh insights and best practices for fruitful everyday conversations.

How to Talk about Jesus (Without Being That Guy) by Sam Chan Pdf

Most Christians know they should be trying to tell their friends and family about Jesus. But in a post-Christendom world, personal evangelism is viewed negatively--it's offensive, inappropriate, and insensitive. Recent studies confirm that the majority of Christians rarely evangelize, worried they might offend their family or lose their friends. In How to Talk About Jesus (Without Being That Guy), author Sam Chan equips everyday Christians who are reluctant and nervous to tell their friends about Jesus with practical, tested ways of sharing their faith in the least awkward ways possible. Drawing from over two decades of experience as an evangelist, teacher, and pastor, Chan explains why personal evangelism feels so awkward today. And utilizing recent insights from communication theory, cross-cultural ministry, and apologetics, he helps you build confidence in sharing your faith, and teaches you how to evangelize your friends and family in socially appropriate ways.

The Neglected Great Commission by Gabriel O. Akinbode Pdf

Evangelism is heavily associated with announcing and proclaiming the gospel. Both Western evangelical and Eastern Orthodox Christians have—for the most part—favored this view of evangelism. In The Neglected Great Commission, author Rev. Dr. Gabriel O. Akinbode describes what evangelism means and further discusses the Great Commission that Jesus Christ gave to his disciples, to go into the world and make disciples of all nations. Strengthening the faith of Christians, Akinbode offers a host of information on spiritual awakening. He: • traces a brief history of the commission from the beginning and how it was passed from generation to generation; • identifies the essentials of evangelism; • delves into the scriptural pattern of evangelism and divides it into two parts, namely mass evangelism and personal evangelism; • reveals the urgent need to reach the young people with the gospel that the harvest is plentiful, the laborers are few, and time is short; • describes how the Great Commission was neglected; • lifts up the benefits that can be achieved through obedience to the Great Commission; and • advocates for all believers to rise up and embrace the Great Commission. The Neglected Great Commission communicates that the power of Jesus is available to save, heal, deliver, and use you for God’s glory. There is a reward in serving the Lord.
