EVANGELISM SCRIPTURE MEMORIZATION
____________________________________________________________
EVANGELISM TEACHING/TRAINING MINISTRIES
AGENTS FOR CHRIST is a four-person ministry that travels the country in their RV's, going to churches, and equipping for evangelism, leading street witnessing, and delivering a powerful anti-drug youth message (though I would consider it an anti-idolatory message for all, as I heard the message and was deeply impacted.). They came to Calvary Chapel O'Hare in Chicago in July 2010, and the Spirit moved through them powerfully to bless us and those we witnessed to. They also produce their own original tracts in many types and styles
MINISTRY THROUGH MYSTERY is an evangelism ministry out of California. Dennis Zech is a gifted illusionist, and he teaches the use of hand/pocket magic to open the door to sharing the Gospel. He also equips churches in evangelism, and does a very entertaining show which involves both illusion and sharing the Gospel, which was very effective for a block party outreach we held at Calvary Chapel O'Hare in June 2010.
VOICE IN THE WILDERNESS is led by evangelist Phil Delre, out of the Rockford area of Illinois. Phil teaches evangelism seminars, Sunday school classes, and has been a dynamic guest speaker at Calvary Chapel O'Hare. His site includes excellent original tracts and training resources on a wide variety of topics.
WAY OF THE MASTER/LIVING WATERS is led by Ray Comfort and Kirk Cameron. This California-based ministry has one of the most complete array of resources for evangelism, evangelism training, and preaching available, including excellent tracts and training materials in English and Spanish (shipping costs are not cheap, so you can save more by ordering your tracts at once). The link above is to WOTM's video library of real-life street witnessing using their method of "Biblical evangelism". You will see many of the challenges and responses to a wide variety of real-life witnessing situations here.
- FREE BOOK on BIBLICAL EVANGELISM
Living Waters ministry also offers a free book
which presents Biblical Evangelism, or evangelism using Christ's
methods. It's an eye-opening, scripturally-based presentation. One free
copy is available to each person who orders. Even shipping is included.
Highly recommended.
