In this special season of Everyday Ministry, we’re bringing you key takeaways from Evangelize 2024! Hosts Marty Sweeney and Lindsey Yeagley discuss practical ways to raise the evangelistic temperature in our churches. Instead of just talking about evangelism, how do we take action?
In this final episode, we
explore concrete
steps you can take:
✅ Pray with
purpose – New Testament prayers focus on believers having
boldness, not just on non-believers coming to faith. Try the
Two for Two challenge:
pray for 2 non-Christian friends for 2 minutes
daily.
✅ Scatter gospel
seeds – Keep evangelistic resources (books, booklets,
Gospels of Mark/John) on hand and challenge yourself to give them
away.
✅ Create an evangelistic
funnel – A repeatable, warm, gospel-focused event where
non-Christians hear the gospel clearly and are invited to respond.
Where does this happen in your church?
✅ Train for
clarity – Many Christians struggle to articulate the
gospel. Resources like Two
Ways to Live and Learn
the Gospel help us explain our faith with
confidence.
✅ Evangelize
together – Evangelism isn’t a solo effort. How can your
church create a culture where sharing Jesus is natural and
expected?
We also discuss how patience, intentionality, and persistence play a role in long-term evangelistic impact. Plus, hear about an exciting new evangelism course by Dave Jensen, coming in 2025!
