Real evangelism

I spent a good part of the past week at Bethel School of Supernatural Evangelism. This class was taught by three teachers from the ministry school at Bethel Church in Redding, CA. This class caused some major changes in my thinking, and I strongly recommend it.

Some key points:

• The world needs an encounter with God, and we, the church, owe it to them.
• If we approach people with a religious agenda (getting converts, increasing church attendance, changing people’s minds), they can tell it.
• We need to touch people while demonstrating five core values: love, honor, presence (the presence of God in our lives), power, and joy.

There’s a lot more to it than this. Talk to me, listen to my sermon from Sunday, May 24th, or e-mail me for a copy of my notes.
