Evangelism will take on a new perspective as you learn to discover the
Person of Peace and now the process works from God’s perspective.
Jesus’ evangelistic strategy
Luke 10 : 1 – 12
After this the Lord appointed seventy two others and sent them two by
two ahead of him to every town and place where he was about to go. He
told them, “The harvest is plentiful, but the workers are few.
Ask the Lord of the harvest, therefore, to send out workers into his harvest
field.. Go! I am sending you out like lambs among wolves. Do not take
a purse or bag or sandals; and do not greet anyone on the road “When
you enter a house, first say, ‘Peace to this house.’
If a man of peace is there, your peace will rest on him; if not, it will
return to you. Stay in that house, eating and drinking whatever they give
you, for the worker deserves his wages. Do not move around from house
to house.
“When you enter a town and are welcomed, eat what is set before
you. Heal the sick who are there and tell them, ‘The kingdom of
God is near you.’ But when you enter a town and are not welcomed,
go into its streets and say,
‘Even the dust of your town that sticks to our feet we wipe off
against you. Yet be sure of this: The kingdom of God is near.’ I
tell you, it will be more bearable on that day for Sodom than for that
town.
A person of peace is someone who is open to hearing what God will give
you to say at that moment.
We need to keep our eyes open looking out for the people of peace that
are in our lives.
Perception is like “testing the temperature” to see if someone
is a person of peace.
Presence Evangelism occurs when you are present in a situation or with
an individual or group.
Wherever you are is always an opportunity to act as Jesus would act,
speak as Jesus would speak.
Proclamation
These are occasions when you tell the message of Jesus Christ to someone
who does not believe in Jesus.
Proclamation is not just for preachers or professional Christians!
Passing relationships
People who we only meet once or twice are what we would call passing relationships.
We may not lead them all the way through to a personal relationship with
Christ, but we may be used to bring them a step closer to Jesus.
Permanent Relationships
Permanent relationships exist with your family and close friends
You are with these people often, for extended periods of time
In these relationships, its important that you do not force the Gospel
message, but pray, wait and watch for opportunities.
Preparation
Preparation is similar to cultivating soil and planting seeds to prepare
for a harvest.
Power
When God turns up!
