Why Should We Evangelize eBook

If you’ve been a believer for some time, it’s happened to you...a conversation with an unsaved friend begins to turn toward spiritual things. You see an opportunity to share what you believe and to tell him or her about God. But for whatever reason, you shy away from speaking up, and the moment passes.

Or maybe you’re a new Christian, excited about Jesus but unsure how to tell your friends about the hope you’ve found.

This resource is designed to help you break down the barriers that keep you from evangelizing and be prepared for the opportunities God puts in your life. From the purpose of evangelism to practical skills you can develop now, we are here to help you “go into all the world and proclaim the Gospel” – even if “the world” is your backyard!
