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 />
