Evangelism for Planters

Teaching points

  • Church planting best fulfills the Great Commission because it combines evangelism and discipleship in one organic process.
  • The Bridge illustration provides a clear visual of the Gospel. Master it so you can share it anywhere.
  • Personal testimony is the most accessible evangelism tool — your story of transformation is uniquely yours.
  • Evangelism must be contextualized — the message never changes, but the methods must fit the culture.
  • Every new church reaches new people that existing churches don't. That is why we plant.

Read in Scripture

  • Romans 1:16
  • 1 Corinthians 9:19-23
  • Acts 1:8
  • 2 Corinthians 5:18-20
  • Matthew 28:18-20

Reflect

  • What evangelism methods work in your target context?
  • Can you clearly share the Gospel in 2 minutes?
  • How will you train new converts to share their faith immediately?
  • What makes your target area unreached, and how will you reach them?

Put it into practice

  • Write out your 2-minute Gospel presentation.
  • Share the Gospel with one person in your target area this week.
  • Develop an evangelism training outline for new converts.
