Evangelism Techniques

All of us are called to go and make disciples of all nations and that starts with sharing the good news of Jesus Christ (the gospel) through evangelism.


Romans 10:14
New International Version
14 How, then, can they call on the one they have not believed in? And how can they believe in the one of whom they have not heard? And how can they hear without someone preaching to them?
There are many techniques, and I've only given space to a few on this website for which I already had instructional materials ready.  That does not mean that other techniques are bad.  For example, you may want to look into The Four Spiritual Laws, The Way of the Master, or something else that your local church uses.  Find one that you that is based on the truth of the Bible, is easy for you to memorize and share with others--it's especially helpful if your presentation is adaptable to the individual and the answers they give.  Remember that many times you only get to plant seeds and water seeds that others have planted, but you don't always get to reap the harvest immediately (though you should always give a "call to action" to invite the person to repent and believe before you leave them).

My goal would be that it would be as natural for you to tell someone about Jesus and that this would feel as natural as wanting to tell everyone about the one that you love.  They are your "everything" and you can't stop talking about them.  Not everyone has the spiritual gift of evangelism, but everyone is commissioned to be an evangelist whether it is their special gifting or not.  Tell others your testimony and, if needed, use one of the techniques above to help you remember all the essential components.  Some of the above techniques work better one-on-one while others lend themselves better to you working with a group of other Christians to reach one or two people you are trying to share the gospel with.  Don't let your presentation get steamrolled or railroaded because they pepper you with apologetics questions (that's something else we'll help with if you get questions you don't know the answer to).  Defer all questions until the end of the presentation and then if they remember their questions and still want to ask them (and say that having an answer to that question would make a difference in their response to your call at the end of your presentation), the you should answer their question(s) if you can or let them know that you will set a time to meet with them where you can speak more about their questions and this gives you some time to do some research.  If you say you don't know an answer, but you are going to find out, please remember to search out an answer and find out--nothing hurts the hearer worse than giving their time to you as you share with them and then you not investing any time into their serious questions that they are struggling with.  Again, that comes back to the issue of apologetics that sometimes is intertwined with evangelism, but they are not the same thing.  Do however always be ready to give an answer (or defense) for the reason for the hope that you have (be ready to give coherent answers when someone asks you about what you believe and why you believe it).  I look forward to helping you be more prepared to share your faith with others as this is the first step in you being a disciple-maker.
