Four Categories of Evangelism Programs - Evangelism Unlimited

Thomas P. Johnston 1005
Bring to Decision:
1. Are you a sinner?
2. Do you want forgiveness of sins?
3. Do you believe Jesus died on the cross and rose again?
4. Are you willing to surrender your life to Jesus Christ?
5. Are you ready to invite Jesus into your life and into your heart?
What to Ask When Someone Receives Christ:
1) How many sins has Christ paid for? (1 John 2:2)
2) How many of your sins does Christ remember? (Heb 10:17; 2 Cor. 5:17)
3) Where does Christ live? (Gal 2:20)
4) Let’s pray
5) Who has been praying for you?
6) Do you know where your friend goes to church?
7) Do you know your friend’s phone number? Let’s call him now!
8. May I take you to church?
9) Read the Gospel of John.
10) I will call you tomorrow to see if the Word became different.

Distinctives
1. Four stages of Preparation:
a. The Soil Preparation Stage
“When God’s revived people respond to Him in surrender and obedience, they
permeate their community with the presence of the living Lord.
“... The change that God has wrought in your life affirms the Gospel and prepares
the soil of a community to receive the seed of the Gospel.” 1167
b. The Sowing Stage
c. The Cultivation Stage
d. The Harvest Stage
2. Seven steps in leading a person to Christ:
a. Begin the conversation (using FIRM: Family, Interests, Religion, Message)
b. Present the plan of salvation
c. Ask the person to receive Christ
d. Lead the person to pray
e. Guide into assurance
f. Instruct the new believer
g. Follow-up.

Faith

Heaven
Basically runs along the lines of EE or CWT, with one primary exception:
1. It is Sunday School based, so that each Sunday School class has a participating member
(helps in three weaknesses in initiative programs, helpful in: [1] recruiting regular personnel
for outreach, [2] providing accountability in evangelism, and [3] assisting in follow-up). In
so doing, FAITH makes a philosophical link between CWT and Arthur Flake’s Building a
Standard Sunday School (1934).
