INTRODUCTION<br />
For whom is this document written?<br />
It is written to resource and empower an individual (not necessarily a pastor<br />
or a leader) in a local church who has a passion for evangelism or who would<br />
like to themselves and their church develop the passion.<br />
• You may or may not have “the gift of evangelism.”<br />
• You may not even be doing any evangelism yourself but you recognise that<br />
the primary responsibility of every believer and every church is to actively,<br />
regularly, and personally contribute to the evangelisation of the world (i.e.<br />
reaching lost people with the message of the gospel). <strong>To</strong> read about why<br />
the evangelisation of the world is the priority, please click here.<br />
• You have observed that mention of this responsibility receives little<br />
attention in the life of your church. It might even be nonexistent. <strong>Be</strong>fore <strong>God</strong>, you don’t have peace about<br />
this and you feel you can’t let this situation continue unchallenged.<br />
• You want to make a positive, strategic, and crucial difference in the life of your church.<br />
• <strong>The</strong> Holy Spirit is stirring deep within you to take action and become part of the solution.<br />
If what I have described resonates with you, thank <strong>God</strong>!<br />
Doesn’t sound like you?<br />
If this is not you, but you know of a person who fits the description, please - give them this document.<br />
<strong>The</strong>y are in every church...<br />
We believe there are people in every local church who fit the description I have given at the top of this page.<br />
Why? <strong>Be</strong>cause we know that every true believer is in-dwelt by the Holy Spirit (Romans 5:5). <strong>The</strong> Holy Spirit<br />
never sleeps in His desire to motivate and empower the believer in whom He dwells to evangelise (Acts 1:8).<br />
This is the very reason He was given.<br />
Working together...<br />
Our challenge is to find these incredibly precious people who want to flow with the Spirit’s prompting. We<br />
want to envision, resource, coach, and empower them so the Holy Spirit can work through them to help<br />
mobilise all the people in their church for evangelism. As a ministry, <strong>God</strong> has given us a passion to work<br />
with Christians who want to see a resurgence of the Great Commission across the world, starting with their<br />
own church.<br />
<strong>Be</strong>coming an ETL...<br />
If what I have written here resonates with you, we want you to make contact with us. We’ll show you how<br />
you can become an “Evangelism Team Leader” in your church or “ETL” for short. An ETL is someone<br />
who wants to be used by <strong>God</strong> to resurrect evangelism in their church for the sake of His Name. Eventually,<br />
others in your church will gather around you and join in, hence the word “team” in the title. You are going<br />
to be working closely with your pastor, so you’ll need to take this document to them and get their support<br />
and approval for what you are wanting to do. What you are wanting<br />
to do is entirely biblical, so expect the full support, buy-in, and<br />
encouragement of your pastor. This Evangelism Team Leader’s Guide<br />
was put together to resource and empower ETLs and their pastors.<br />
<strong>Be</strong>ing able to get where you want to go...<br />
This ETL guide which you are reading now is like a road map to show<br />
you how to get from where you are now to the point where <strong>100%</strong> of<br />
the people in your church are mobilised.<br />
This might seem like an impossibility, but we are working with<br />
churches right now who are slowly but surely making this dream a<br />
reality. This guide will explain exactly how they are doing it.<br />
