The Strategic Value of Effective Evangelism Training
It's that time again. Summer is fading, and travelers are returning. Sunday School and church programs are back in swing, and the kids are back in school. (Do I hear an "amen" from all the moms?) The best part is that so many churches are beginning evangelism training classes. People all over this nation will […]
Sharing FAITH Down Under
God is at work around the world, and He is using those who are willing to obey and be used by Him. Consider this testimony from Steve Grose, pastor of Newcastle Baptist Tabernacle in Newcastle, New South Wales, Australia. It speaks for itself of what God can and will do through those who are simply willing to obey Him. One Thursday night while my wife and daughters were away on trip to Melbourne (Australia) some five hundred miles away, Nev and Daphne, some lovely church members, invited me to their home for a real meal.
God’s Work and Blessings in Our Military
In my role as Strategist for Global Evangelical Relations, I've had the great blessing, several times, to be with North America Mission Board's Keith Travis (Retired Colonel) who has the responsibility for the Southern Baptist Convention's Chaplain's Ministry. God bless NAMB, Dr. Geoff Hammond, and Keith Travis, because through their hard work and the Lord's […]
It’s a Gated Community — We’ll Never Get In!
We've all faced incredible obstacles in witnessing — a strategic key to success in evangelism is not placing limits on what God can do. Consider this wonderful testimony from Greg Davidson, Associate Pastor for Evangelism and Outreach at First Baptist Church in Naples, Florida. As I begin I want you to know that we are […]
Christ’s Gift is for Our Family Members, Too!
Why is it that the hardest people to share the Gospel with are usually our own family members? We have a burden for them, we love them, and we can even be trained to share our faith with them. So what's the problem? Does Satan know where we live or what? I suspect it is […]
There’s Always HOPE!
March marks the season of HOPE. As believers, our hope is in the resurrected Christ. Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ. According to His great mercy, He has given us a new birth into a living hope through the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead, and into an inheritance […]
Now Is The Time!
This could be you and your church in this New Year. Read on and catch the excitement. Then determine to try something new this year (if you are not already doing it). Teach your people to be evangelistic — to love people — not just the ones they sit beside each week but those out […]
We Have A Spirit of Revival!
It is amazing what God will do when we simply make ourselves available to Him. Praise God with me as you read this testimony of God's faithfulness from Greg Davidson, Associate Pastor of Discipleship and Evangelism at First Baptist Church in Naples, Florida. We are so very thankful to average well over two hundred each […]
Thanks Be To God…
Webster's II Dictionary defines thanking as "To express gratitude to," and Dictionary.com defines thanksgiving as "the act of giving thanks; grateful acknowledgment of benefits or favors, esp. to God; an expression of thanks, esp. to God; a public celebration in acknowledgment of divine favor or kindness; and a day set apart for giving thanks to […]
Evangelism — It’s More Than Numbers
I continue to hear from pastors across our nation about how evangelism outreach accomplishes Kingdom work each and every week. Any church going out into the highways and byways of a community — either to reach new people or to minister to their members — cannot help but grow. But it's not just about the […]
