Thinking more about Evangeliving Please consider these Questions and Recommendations on

Evangelism practices from the discussion at our April 13 Rally, and consider your personal ministry in advancing God’s Kingdom

Corporate Witness and Teamwork 1. What creativity could be done to improve the evangelism of our church? 2. Make evangelistic activities relevant for our friends and family who do not

yet know Jesus Christ! How relevant are our current programs offered? What would be “relevant”?

3. Our church already is helping those in need: (a) food & clothing through Open House Community Service, (b) Christian education is offered in a safe environment of ACES; (c) children Bible learning through Adventurers, VBS, children’s church; (d) health information and lifestyle change is offered through CHIP; (e) “way out of depression” program is offered annually.

What other needs are there that we should engage in to help our friends, those people we know?

4. How could leaders (elders, directors, influencers) of our church offer more support to individual Christians in their personal evangelistic endeavors?

5. Have we identified those individuals in our church who have the gift of evangelism? How many “evangelists” do we have in church? What would it take to form an “evangelism team” with all gifted?

New Believers support 6. When new people come to church events, how do we approach them?

Are we being open and loving? How could we grow in the area of connecting with visitors?

7. Do we befriend new comers quickly? How many have befriended a new believer to support them, as they lose former network of associates?

8. Encourage new people in our church to get involved in evangelism immediately! New comers have friends in the world, and are not as disconnected as “seasoned” members. Best “numeric” growth is achieved when new converts bring their friends and family in!

9. What practical help could be provided for new Christians to grow in faith? Personal Evangelism

10. Do we, each, pray for friends, colleagues and relatives who do not yet know Jesus Christ that they will come to faith? Who are you praying for? How many, specifically?

11. How do we deepen our relationships with people who do not yet know Jesus Christ?

your servant, pastor Alex Golovenko
