30-Day Evangelism Challenge

Congratulations! You are beginning a journey today – an important and possibly life-changing journey. The next 30 days represents your desire to grow in the area of evangelism. Evangelism is one of my greatest passions in life. My heart aches for people who are far from God. I was the very first convert in my family and I am surrounded my lost people. Although I am passionate about evangelism, the dilemma is that I’m not very good at it. I’m gifted in certain areas, but evangelism is not one of them.

If you feel like you are terrible at evangelism, don’t feel bad. Only about 5% of Christians (and 20% of pastors) feel they are gifted in this area. This means that 95% of Christians and 80% of pastors feel like evangelism is a weakness. Well, that statistic is somehow both sad and reassuring at the same time.

The 30-Day Evangelism Challenge is NOT designed for people who consider themselves “evangelists.” If you are part of 5% that have the “gift of evangelism,” you will be sorely underwhelmed and disappointed with this program. That is because this was not designed for you. However, if you are part the 95% that struggle with evangelism, I believe this program can really help you begin a journey to grow in this area.

As a church planter and “non-evangelistic” pastor of a church in an extremely unchurched community, I struggled with two questions:

1. Even though I am not gifted in evangelism, can I lead a church that effectively reaches the lost?

2. Even though I am not gifted in evangelism, can I equip my people to become effective evangelists?

The 30-Day Evangelism Challenge is the result of many years of research, study, struggle and experimentation. The goal of this 30-Day Challenge is to help the average Christian get started on the road to become effective in evangelism even though they may not be naturally or spiritually gifted in this area. So let’s talk about our goals and expectations.

1. You will understand the importance, urgency and your personal responsibility of evangelism.

2. You will begin to overcome the personal obstacles of fear and insecurity often associated with evangelism.
